For the latest episode of Talking Cod, we're joined by investing guru Jason Graystone to talk about unshackling ourselves from unnecessary worry about our finances.

Jason began his career washing cars to earn money when he was 14. He became financially free at 30 and now is a trader and investor, owning a number of successul businesses.

We talk about the importance of having a plan, about valuing your time, and how critical it is to instil sound financial thinking into our kids.

He also gave us the worst Northern accent we've heard, but given the sound (our kid) advice he gives in the episode, we'll forgive him for that.

In the latest episode of Talking Cod, Dave and Andy sit down with the awe-inspiring Luke Staton, whose journey from aspiring professional footballer to motivational speaker and children's author captures the essence of transformation and resilience.

Luke shares the trials and triumphs of his early days in football, the life-altering times when he had to hang up his boots, and the path that led him to inspire others through his motivational workshops and keynotes.

Beyond the field, Luke discusses the idea behind "Credo," a book aimed at empowering the youth, and how his past experiences fuel his passion for change. Join us for a story of passion, purpose, and the power of a positive mindset.

The latest episode of Talking Cod features our good friend Will Edge, a trustee and facilitator at Mentell, a men's mental health charity.

We'd originally asked Will to come on to tell us about the charity's work and how he'd first come across the organisation, but then things went strangely quiet.

It turns out he'd had a scary accident whilst Wakeboarding in North Wales with his daughter, only to find out after an MRI scan that he'd got a tumour the size of a peach growing on his brain.

It's an incredible story. Had the accident not happened, the tumour might not have been diagnosed for another six years. And had Will not connected with Mentell in the years before the accident, he wouldn't have had the mental preparedness to deal with the trauma.

To find out more about Mentell, head over to their website at https://www.mentell.org.uk/, find them on Facebook, follow them on Instagram (@mentellcharity)
