50 VIP Minutes with Ben Garwood
Gaz and Luke managed to pull Ben away from his TV career for 50 heartwarming minutes to moan about stuff. Bet you're glad we got another episode recorded.

Social Media Sadness
The gang is back for a catch up. We discuss current projects and how social media is becoming very difficult to navigate as businesses.
We chat about what we can do as a community to hedge against us being driven off it and keeping touch with customers.

We managed to get Luke, Ben and Gaz in one place so we thought we'd have a quick chat seeing as we missed the previous week. Ben fancied a chunter sesh so why not.

Dealing With Loss
Recorded on Thursday evening instead of the usual Friday morning, Ben and Gaz have a bit of a catch up. Four very busy business owners currently so it's been a push getting us together, but it was nice to get face to face. Once we've had a chat about Bens's new version of HR4K we move on to talk about loss, how we deal with it and how we shouldn't allow it to control us.

Chris Ryan
Gaz, Ben & Luke are joined by Colin Armstrong or 'Chris Ryan' as he's better know in the public eye. A really interesting chat about humility, the need to be honest when mistakes are made and what the fall out is when this doesn't happen. Also the ability to make the necessary changes, however painful and move with the times. A very insightful conversation between two different generations of soldier. The reason we are better at what we do today concerning the issues raised is because of what happened with Colin and the first generation of UKSF who came into the public eye.

Gaz & Luke
Dropping like flies! Gaz and Luke confront the awkward reality of having to have a full zoom conversation with each other whilst no other people are present. Ben woke up to no internet due to flooding again and having to give his kids his phone so they could home school and our planned guest couldn't make it today. Actually turns out to be a pretty good one, especially once Luke prompts a rant from Gaz about social media censorship.

Karl Steadman - SEG Ambassador
A really fun one this, great to have one of our Ambassadors on. Karl Steadman was one of the original CrossFitters in the UK and has helped grow that community. We talk with him about CrossFit in general, what happened with founder Coach Glassmans' departure last year, including building and upholding community.

The 2020 Showdown
Well it's all over, a turd of a year for all involved. We got together for a drink (and had our tea it turns out) and put it to rights as best we could.
The show proper doesn't start until about 10 mins in, but we had a bit of a catch up first and thought we'd leave that in. Expect all the subjects it's not fun to talk about to get covered! Video versions are available in the Sin Eaters Guild Facebook, IGTV and YouTube.

Hugh Keir
Gaz, Luke and Ben sat down with a mate of ours Hugh Keir for a bit of a random chat. Hugh is ex 3 Para and is now the host of the H-Hour Podcast and the Leading minds Podcast.
We talk about 'hats', brands jumping on cause bandwagons, military recruitment, national service and entrepreneurship amongst other things. It's a long one and was really good fun, we'll probably get him back. at some point.
Take a look listen to his shows, he's much better at this than we are!

Tracks Of My Tours - Ben Garwood
Random one this from the brain of Ben Garwood - shock! Ben talks about music from various points in his life and what those tracks mean to him. Spotify listeners will hear full tracks, all other means will get 15 second clips so if you can, use Spotify. Sound is not great due to it being recorded live at HR4K in the working day, you can hear Ben better than Gaz though so it's workable. Whole thing was off the cuff so bear with it. But if you like the idea let us know and we'll do more like this, but more professionally!

Jonny Pain - Project Vertical
We had a great time this morning talking to Jonny Pain about his epic challenge with Fergus Crawley, PROJECT VERTICAL.
The challenge involved 32 summits of Ben Nevis, the highest peak in Scotland, in 11 days in order to complete a vertical marathon. The aim being to draw attention to male suicide and mental health in general and raise money for the Movember charity.
This is what this podcast is about, people talking honestly about subjects that affect us all. We hope you enjoy it.
Please take the time to watch the the accompanying film linked below and visit Jonny & Fergus's Instagram profiles to learn more.

Entitlement In the Veteran Community
After what we saw at the Cenotaph on Sunday we thought we'd discuss one of the major issues we see time and time again, some of the the veteran community believing that they're special and subject to different rules of behaviour than civilians. To do so we invited someone who has worked in the military charity sector and has experienced these attitudes first hand. Ads is a former Royal Marine and now runs the Commando Sundials instagram profile, he's one of the good ones and has worked tirelessly in this field at cost to himself. He joins Gaz, Luke and Ben for a chat about his experiences.
Although not the intention, we also spoke about some of the issues around those seeking help from military charities and the mental health/behaviour/personal history examples that are tied into that.
If we are going to get better we have to talk. It's not negative to highlight behaviour within our own community that damages us all.

Nick Returns: Better Latte Than Never
No Luke this episode but we're joined by Nick, the co founder of Contact Coffee Company. Gaz gets beasted for scaring everyone by being off comms all last week and we answer a few community questions. We finish with the subject we always end up on this time of year, the use of the Poppy to sell products, but we've never gone this far before.

Answering Community Questions
We took questions from the community on instagram and answered them here today. All sorts of subjects, a couple of difficult ones that enabled a bit of ranting, but we can't shy away from this stuff just because it's hard.

Values, Weak Leadership & Conflicting Messages
We were lucky enough this week to receive an audio message via the Anchor link below from a listener (in the podcast I mention I was going to insert his name but decided anon was better), we used his message, which is included, to begin a conversation. More of this please, really great to have interaction from the listeners.

BIG BEN VENT
Fun one this morning. Actually sounds relatively professional due to everyone having the kit they need for a change and NO DOGS! Sound quality issue should be gone now as we're all recording out of our own spaces, no more Gaz's home office/kennel efforts.
We start with Ben talking (at length) about some of the things he's posted about on his insta stories and take it from there (always worth keeping up with the personal insta accounts for the context of the podcast).
TRIGGER WARNING! - I'm ex Para Reg, yes I call everyone who's not Para Reg a screamer, you know it's all good fun, don't cry. I know plenty of Para Reg guys who are screamers too 👀

Sometimes We're Shit
Gaz, Luke and Ben together for a quick half hour chat about procrastination, not having to be on fire all the time, websters customers, Nick doing the basics badly and Ben doing phys! Thought we'd squeeze one in before we try and finally go firm with regular recording dates from Monday.

Building Communities
Gaz, Ben and Luke back together this time, hopefully we'll get Nick for the next one too. We discuss, amongst other things, trying to build communities and the common pitfalls that we've come across so far. Ben sabotaged Luke and I for the first half of the recording by not having his headphones, which resulted in feedback when anyone but him is talking! Good bloke, but we got him muting his mic when we were talking and the second half, the better half, sounds fine.

ALL of the HARD stuff
Well I just about mange to hit all of the controversial or at least hard to talk about topics here. I took the replies to the Monday questions we normally do on instagram and instead of typing responses and posting to stories, I thought I'd use them as jump off points for a chat.

RAF Regiment?
Bit of an off the cuff filler episode whist I was driving back home from the office. We missed last Sundays episode because Lukes misses is about to drop and had a false alarm, so I thought I'd better get one in to fill the gap.
We'll be back this Sunday as usual.

The Good Sound Episode!
Back with Ben from HR4K and Luke from Contact Coffee Co for brews and Sunday morning dit spinning. We've had great feedback from these so we're going to do our best to make them a regular thing every Sunday morning. The solo Gaz versions will drop in midweek when I have something I want to go into. Currently there's some building work going on in the house so it's a nightmare sound wise during the week.
In this episode we answer some questions we received on Instagram and go into a subject we've been discussing recently on our Whatsapp group.
Cheers,
Gaz

Worlds worst threesome
Chilled Sunday morning chat with Ben Garwood, founder of HR4K and Luke one of the Founders of Contact Coffee Co. Hoping to get Nick back for the next one too, but he's currently hating his life somewhere. We figured transition was a good topic seeing as the we're all at different stages of that, but we also go on to speak about a few likes and loathes about our community and its members.
Same as last time it' s a Zoom call so you've got that typical echo feedback at points, but it's still workable once you tune it out! Next one we do we've put stuff in place now to square it, so please bear with it for today.
Please use the message feature to give us some feedback and if you'd like us to clarify anything or cover anything specific we will.
Cheers,
Gaz

Drunken Chat with the Contact Coffee Co Lads
FINALLY we got this one together! I sit down via Zoom to chat with two guys I now consider good friends, Nick & Luke the founders and owners of Contact Coffee Co. They are the original UK military coffee brand and have inspired countless other to have a go at the same thing.
We speak about our businesses, how they started, what they want to achieve and how they're doing that. The lads were actually quite nervous about doing it and it starts off fairly slowly, but it turned out as a great episode once everyone chilled out.
In the last hour or so we discuss a very contentious issue at the moment, the desecration of war memorials. It's not an easy thing to speak about, but it seemed a bit of a cop out not to, so please bear with us. If you feel you need anything clarifying or want to give feedback then the podcast DMs or better the Anchor audio message so that we can have a public dialogue.
Audio wise it's a Zoom call, so that's exactly what it sounds like, it's completely workable.

Groupthink, values, standards and racism
This one can't really be anything but serious. Very difficult subject to talk about and easy to misunderstand. If you need anything clarifying or want to come back to me DM or better yet, use the the link below to leave me a voice message via Anchor and we can have a dialogue.

Our First Audio Message Success!
Bear with the wind noise at the start of this one, lasts for about 6 mins, it's not that bad really, you can hear me fine still. I was out walking the dog and thought I'd test the new set up. In this episode we get our first audio message from a member of the community. Big thanks to Sam for stepping up and being first, I look forward to hearing more from everyone. I spend most of the episode answering Sams question, which was a good one and got me off on a good tangent. Apologies as well because at one point I mention the Westminster Bridge attack, when I actually meant to refer to the London Bridge attack.

Well that got a bit personal!
After nearly a month away we're back with an explanation about where I've been and why. I also explain some changes that are happening with the Podcast and an exciting way that we can bring the community and the Podcast together in conversation. Make sure you listen to the first 10 mins at least to learn how.
