The Chopper House by Tom Portsmouth

Welcome to The Chopper House Podcast. A podcast you can listen to on the go. Whether you're on the way to work, school or even in the middle of training.   

Coming up in this episode of the 'Ever Wonder' Series at The Chopper House:  I chat with the man behind Monument Cycling – Owen Lake – about the descent of the British Domestic Scene, and what he is doing to ensure its salvation.   

We also discuss the challenges of organising a cycle race in the UK and how he's using his knowledge in digital production to improve the face of British Cycling.  

The key difference to other podcasts, is that the people I interview are following their dreams right now. And they are NOT finished. They're only getting started. I want to capture the rawness of facing challenges and tests on the road to achieving what you want.

Welcome to The Chopper House Podcast. Coming up in this episode of the 'Ever Wonder' Series at The Chopper House:  

I chat with my mate Inigo Hawkings about his recent – rapid – growth he has witnessed on social media. Specifically Instagram and how he's managed the changes that come with the tenfold increase he's seen.   

We also discuss the positives of social media, and the future he is building for himself in 2023 and beyond. In part thanks to the success and love he has for social media.   

The key difference to other podcasts, is that the people I interview are following their dreams right now. And they're not finished. They're only getting started. I want to capture the rawness of facing challenges and tests on the road to achieving what you want.

Ever wonder how to race British Cycling National A events whilst studying one of the hardest degree? 

Irfan Zaman is doing just that balancing full time education – studying Chemical Engineering – whilst competing against the best the British Cycling Domestic scene has to offer.   

He is now doing his placement in London after his 3rd year of study ahead of his final year of education at the University of Nottingham.   

Episode 3 of Ever Wonder at The Chopper House Podcast. 

I hope you enjoy.

It’s a daunting period, graduating from uni, as we are thrust into the next stage of life with a sheet of paper showing you’re qualified for a job you may or may not want.

To discuss this further we invited Josh Copley to the Chopper House during the graduation period.

I thought it timely to pick his brains about his time a year on from graduating from the University of Surrey.

He talks about:

• His routine, and how productivity keeps him focussed when times of stress show through and high workload build up.
• Uni of Surrey Cycling and Triathlon club, which he passed the reins over to Zak Snell in the 2021/22 academic year.
• Converting his passion as a cyclist into a functional love for his current sport, Hockey.

I hope you enjoy your time at The Chopper House, and here shoes are worn as we never know when we need to take the next step into the unknown.
