Kim is Dad to Dexter and husband to Nicola. He runs Touch Video Academy and Unlost He's brave and he's honest and he's decided to do what he can, to. . . in his own words . . . lick the lid of life.\r\n\r\nLike many of the people we've spoken to on this podcast, this is not a story of unadulterated success . . . yet. \r\n\r\nIt's a real story with highs and lows. From mountain adventures and desert islands to living on a leaky boat with nappies on the ceiling, grief and depression.\r\n\r\nWhat I love about Kim is the clarity of his direction. He knows how he wants to spend his time and he also knows it's going to be a hard slog balancing that with the need to earn money. \r\n\r\nHe teaches us that asking for help and conversation are good ways to react to rock bottom and he teaches us that swapping thinking for action . . . in his case . . . restoring Barry the Campervan . . . is powerful therapy too. \r\n\r\nI have very little doubt that Kim will succeed in the way he wants to . . . but there will be more peaks and troughs to come before he finds the balance he's looking for. Kim is one of life's adventurers who simply wants to avoid regrets and understands that discomfort is a necessary part of the process. \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/jg0PbBQJAzGgUv3sJJDH1JKsiLZFmu_3g5Dm1d4pzaI/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzEwMzkvMTU0OTM5/MTk1Ny1hcnR3b3Jr/LmpwZw.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
