S1E9: Self-Development, Body Image & Self-Esteem
You can also listen to this episode on Mixcloud, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Anchor, Google Podcasts, Stitcher and others.
In this episode I talk to Phil Stanley, better known as MC Fokus who is a Hitchin based drum and bass MC, signed to Dispatch Recordings. He has been active in the scene for decades and is highly regarded for his versatility and for his lyricism that is infused with meaning and substance.
As you will hear, he is a truly fascinating, inspiring and authentic character who has been a real pleasure to chat with.
During our conversation he really lives up to his moniker, as much of our conversation revolves around the importance and consequences of what you choose to focus on.
We talk about his music career, some of the significant milestones and challenges that he has overcome. Then, we dive deep into his experiences with low self-esteem and body image and the road he took to transform these challenges into fuel to help and support others.
I feel this is an important conversation, as men's mental health challenges are rarely talked about.
We covered a lot of ground and I really admire Phil for his openness, authenticity and honesty about his experiences.
I encourage you to check him out on social media. He also has a free wellbeing workshop coming up, on the 2nd of August, so this Tuesday that you may not want to miss.
