Hayley Browning’s journey is truly inspiring. Paddleboarding entered her life as a beacon of hope after her diagnosis of breast cancer at just 27 years old. It became her lifeline, reconnecting her with the healing power of nature that she had missed since her days living off-grid in a wooden cabin on Wolf Lake in Minnesota.

But it wasn't until she took the leap of faith, quitting her 9-5 office job and risking her life savings to pursue her dream of working on the water, that the true magic happened. Today's episode promises to  inspire you to embrace the unknown, trusting that the net will appear, just as it did for Hayley.

Let me paint a picture of our guest today. Ed Kyrke-Smith established Rebel Farmer as a rebellion against the conventional practices of food consumption. His platform promotes and produces local seasonal food, grown ethically on a smaller scale, while also educating communities on sustainable growing techniques.

With a focus on fostering smaller, more localised consumer-producer relationships, Ed's mission is to reduce the negative environmental impact of farming and create a more resilient food system.

Eight years after nurturing his first tomato plant, and with seven years of dedicated development from his site in Kent, Ed now stands as a leading voice in sustainable growing, ethical agriculture, and principles of NO-DIG and permaculture.

Ed’s dedication to ethical farming and community engagement is truly inspiring. I can't wait to delve deeper into your journey and the impact you're making in the world of food production.

6th August 2016 Darren Edwards life changed forever. Whilst rock climbing in North Wales, he was involved in a serious fall which would alter the shape of his life forever after leaving him instantly paralysed from the chest down. However this life changing injury hasn't stopped Darren pushing himself to the limit - he has trained as part of Great Britain’s Paracanoe Team, pioneered adaptive free diving in the UK, and in 2021 became the first disabled person to kayak from Land’s End in Cornwall to John O’ Groats in Scotland. He says ‘I have refused to let the word disability define who I am as a person and am committed to helping challenge the perception of what those with a disability can achieve.’
