Interview Sessions Ep 54 with Efrem Brynin

Ep 54 of the Always Better than Yesterday Interview Sessions was with Efrem Brynin, director of Strongmen, a charity that aims to tackle emotional and mental health issues brought about by the suffering from bereavement. 

I was a little more nervous before this episode, mainly because I had heard Efrem speak at the Mind Yourself LYL event and it's safe to say I shed a few tears hearing his story. 

It was at that event that I realised the power that one talk or one podcast can have on our lives. I realised it can be life changing. Perspective changing. 

Sadly, in 2013 Efrem's son was killed on his second tour of Afghanistan. 

In 2016 Efrem was #11 on SAS Who Dares Wins Series 2, an experience which likely saved his life as it was there he displayed symptoms that led to his cancer diagnosis. 

Not only has he overcome cancer and now in remission, he has joined forces with Dan Cross from Series 3 of SAS WDW and Ollie Ollerton in setting up StrongMen.

There is so much in this conversation we can learn from. Perspective. Purpose. Leadership. Courage. Resilience. Health and well-being. 

For me, i'm inspired to live more in the moment, make the most of the simple things and to focus on making the best out of life and situations. 

If you are or know a man who is struggling with emotional and mental health issues as a result of bereavement, do share www.StrongMen.org.uk with them. 

It could change their life for the better. 

I'd love to know what you take away from this powerful conversation. 

Interview also available on Facebook and YouTube. 

Much love
