Mark Walsh is the Director of the Embodied Facilitator Course & Founder of Embodiment Unlimited. Why hasn’t Wikipedia solved all the worlds problems? It’s because we rely solely on information and cognition. We don’t treat the body as one with the mind. You can get out of your head by getting in tune with the body – THIS IS EMBODIMENT. Embodiment is about learning and practicing what is not theoretical. Leadership, relationship, stress management - these are all skill sets where the body really matters. The body is more than a taxi to carry the brain around. It’s the study of how we are not who we are and what we know. Mark goes on to illuminate his work by sharing his stories of helping victims of the war in Ukraine. ---- Check out Mark's Website - https://embodimentunlimited.com/ Extra Stuff: Subscribe to Marks's YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfgLCTiNzVpIeL_j7Icxh8w & follow his Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/warkmalsh/ ME: Reach out to me on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/developmentbydavid/ LinkedIn: https://www.instagram.com/developmentbydavid/ The Development by David Podcast on: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6DV9tUfz5nGCmH0bfZUFrM Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-development-by-david-podcast/id1542740010

This week I am sharing my appearance on Ben Coomber's Number 1 Rated Podcast: Ben Coomber Radio. You might recognise his name.. that's because he was last weeks guest. Here is what Ben had to say about our episode together: "If David can do it, surely we can all rewrite our story, however pre-determined it feels? Coming from a family of poverty, with a PTSD suffering father, to a parent dying young, to growing up in an environment where staying in poverty and never breaking out feels inevitable, to becoming Scotland’s 1st apprentice management consultant, best young consultant in the country to apprentice of the year 2020, to founding chairing 2 social networks for Social Mobility, to meeting the queen, and to partnering with Marcus Rashford at work, this is the story of David McIntosh. At just 23 I was in awe of his wisdom and ideas, it was a pleasure to interview David. We discussed how we as humans can choose to feel empowered and have agency in a digital age, how the internet when used correctly can bring people out of poverty, how radical courage at key sliding door moments can change your life, how having tunnel vision on ONE goal could bring you out of your bad situation, and how embracing your weirdness could set you apart in a world where everyone is trying to conform. A truly inspiring young man. I hope you enjoy this show, and if you find it inspiring, please send it on to someone else.... "

Ben Coomber is the owner of Awesome Supplements. He is also a coach, nutritionist and host of the number one health and fitness podcast in the UK. Ben brings to life a decade in the health and fitness industry. He proves that fitness can and will always be inclusive. Ben speaks about how he cashed in on his identity and didn't espouse to his military school's expectations and archetype. Ben has excelled in every pocket of the health and fitness industry and acted upon numerous moments of courage that have allowed him to level up to the next rung. He has repeated this over a life time and has reaped the rewards. Ben draw's from his lessons from failure. Since leaving university, despite the ultimate highs, Ben and his businesses have had some serious lows. He remembers his accountant telling him that he needs £80k to stay afloat one month. Amidst this, he also agreed to completely remove dairy from his product line at a time where whey protein netted 20% of his sales. Why? To create identity capital. He wanted to be known as THE vegan supplement brand. He focussed his efforts towards sustainability by replacing tubs with sachets. One of my favourite moments of this podcast was when I asked "Do you have any regrets?". He replied "whenever I have had regret I have made sure I have replicated that opportunity". Ben is transparent about the sacrifices it takes to be an entrepreneur and a supplement brand founder. He debunks social medias fetishisation of entrepreneurship. Ben outlays the road to release when it comes to putting protein products on the shelf. This account is mic drop after mic drop - the self development nerd in me was foaming at the mouth!
