From Goals to Growth. With Tales to Inspire's Krish Patel.

In our latest episode of Talking Cod, we're chuffed to introduce Krish Patel, whose journey is a remarkable blend of ambition, adversity, and awakening. From the streets of Bolton to the professional football fields, Krish's childhood dream of becoming a footballer took him on a bit of a rollercoaster.

His career began with promise at Bury, but injuries soon threw a wrench in the works, leading him down a path marked by depression and disillusionment. The lure of a football scholarship in California seemed like an escape, but it was the start of a profound journey of self-discovery.

He talks about his transformation from a materialistic mindset to a life dedicated to giving back through Tales to Inspire.

Join us as we explore Krish's journey, his perspective on life, and the impact of community service. 

If you're moved by Krish's journey or want to share your own, we'd love to hear from you at [e-mail]. As always, if you like what you hear, give us a like, a share, or a follow.

What is Talking Cod: a survivor’s guide to middle age?

Three northern blokes talk about midlife and growing old disgracefully: the kind of things you want to say, but rarely ever do.

Hosts David Eccles, Phil Birchenall and Andy Hall explore how confronting life head-on - with all the crap it throws your way - makes you stronger, older, bolder and, of course, that little bit wiser.

We’ll share our own experiences and talk to friends about life’s ups and downs, what’s worked, and what definitely didn’t.


Frank, fearless, funny. Talking Cod.
