Our mind and body can be transformed through the simple act of walking. That’s why Dr Alex George has made this new, ambient podcast. It supports his mission to get us all out stomping, so whether you’re taking the dog out, hiking up a mountain or maybe you simply need some fresh air, Dr Alex and his guests will be here every week as your loyal stomping companions. Every week Dr Alex George is joined by a guest to find out how we can use their expertise to help us become a healthier version of ourselves, mentally and physically. You’ll wind through uplifting and thought-provoking conversations with a soothing backdrop of birdsong, crashing waves or the breeze gently rustling through leaves. Each episode is split into three parts, designed to be listened to on three short stomps, or one long one. So put on your headphones, follow @thestompcast and join us on a good old stomp.

Pt 1: From Rugby Star to Paralysis: The Moment That Changed Everything for Ed Jackson

Ed Jackson is a former professional rugby union player turned adventurer, whose life was completely changed after suffering a serious spinal cord injury in 2017. Ed’s had a phenomenal journey since his accident, and most recently completed the world’s first disability summit, ascending up a previously unexplored mountain in Kyrgyzstan.

In part one, Ed joins Dr Alex George to discuss his path into professional rugby, how easily sport can become your identity and explains how jumping into a swimming pool changed his life forever…

Plus, Ed explains how his values have changed since his accident and unpacks the importance of understanding the differences between hope and expectations.
