Tommy G Talks - Episode 110: Doing Your Best To "Be The Change" In Times Of Challenge
Welcome to episode 110.
I have had 2 weeks off from the podcast (or anything!) due to being ill with a virus (!)
More on that to follow...
It was good to be back for another live BUNKER TALK session. There was a lot to talk about.
This episode touched on some very important areas including #BlackLivesMatter and the ongoing developments of COVID-19. It's full of passionate input not just from me but from the live audience that tuned in to the broadcast.
I would like to thank our first on camera guest Michelle from Indiana USA for jumping on and helping us understand what it is like over in the States right now.

Tommy G Talks - Episode 109: How To Approach Life With a Positive Mental Attitude - w/ Grant Goes
I REALLY enjoyed this episode.
Not only is it the longest one to date, but it could have easily have gone on for another 90 minutes!
Grant Goes is an Internationally recognised Fitness Professional. He has presented on the big stage for Les Mills International, he has trained and inspired thousands of other instructors from all around the world and he has consistently innovated and achieved incredible things in his life,
This guy’s positive mental attitude is insane.
He is an inspiration to me, he is like a Big Brother.
Grant and I lived together for just over a year in New Zealand back in 2008.
This is where it all began for me, and Grant was there as a role model and a friend.
This was a live broadcast from a BUNKER TALK session, and the first time I have had a live guest with me.
We talked about some of the challenged that we are all faced with globally right now (Grant lives in Dubai) and we shared our stories with our live audience.
This will put a smile on your face I am sure…

Tommy G Talks - Episode 105: BUNKER TALK 001 - Dealing with anxiety, not seeing loved ones & ways that people are coping
Welcome to "bunker talk!"
Bunker talk is my way of being able to help you by adding positive perspective, inspiration and examples of what other people are doing to cope with the current challenges that we are all faced with.
Bunker talk sessions are all filmed and recorded LIVE on Facebook and I always focus on YOU. I take the examples, the comments and the questions from my audience to help everyone else feel more positive, more at ease and more connected.
Things that are very important in this time of isolation.
In this one, we talked about anxiety, dealing with separation from loves ones and I also shared a few ways to cope with this better.
This episode was technically the second ever bunker talk session, but I don't have good audio for the 1st, and this one is more on point!
How are you getting on? I would love to know.

Tommy G Talks - Episode 103: Helping Kids Understand The Coronavirus w/Molly Watts AKA "Nurse Dotty Books"
My guest on the show for this episode is Molly Watts.
Molly is a Nurse on the front line of the NHS here in the UK through this current COVID-19 Pandemic.
She is also a writer and illustration artist.
When my 3 year old Son came home from Nursery on Thursday (for the last time in possibly weeks!) He was talking about "Dave the Dog" being worried about the coronavirus.
When I questioned him, he told me of a book that they had been reading the kids in nursery.
The book helps Children make sense of the virus and all the restrictions in place.
I knew that I had to help and so I reached out to Molly and had her on my Podcast the very next day.
I sincerely hope you are safe and that this helps you.

Tommy G Talks - Episode 102: Coronavirus: A positive perspective from China & UK - w/ Matt Thraxton
The Coronavirus is very much here.
It is causing concern, confusion and in some cases chaos.
So what’s it all about? What’s the deal with quarantine and self isolation?
What’s it like at the epicenter?
I want to be lean to ward solution based thinking among all the noise, and help to install positivity, clear thinking and confidence in people.
Yes, we have a right to be concerned of course, but HOW we think and act is more important THAN EVER right now.
So I thought this would be the perfect time to catch up with my life friend, Matt Thraxton.
This man is living in Shanghai, China and has been in isolation for 14 days.
This is probably one of the most helpful and inspiring things that you will listen to relating to the COVID-19 outbreak.
Listening to this will serve you far greater than any media headline or broken agenda.
Let me know what you make of it and what things are like for you at the moment.
With love,
Tommy G
