Episode 1 Guest:
Ryan Hopkins, Future of Wellbeing Leader at Deloitte.
Ryan suffered an accident when he was 19, losing the ability to walk for a year, spiralling into a severe depression, and over the next 8 years went through suicidal periods, bulimia, anxiety, agoraphobia and came out the other end a better person for it. These experiences lit a fire within him, which he uses to try and inspire those around him to be non-negotiable with their wellbeing and for organisations to create cultures of empowerment where people can be their best selves daily.
