Vulnerability Is a Strength, with Daniel Wilsher | Ep 6

Today’s episode is a very raw, candid and at times emotional conversation with Daniel Wilsher, who at a very early age faced the tough challenge of navigating loss during those formative years. Through the support of his peers, and his love for music, he was able to begin to shift his mindset and move beyond victimhood… to see vulnerability as a strength. Powered by the lessons accumulated during his own journey, Daniel founded LivEdX Learning, a company specialising in leadership and wellbeing programmes that are designed to help deliver social impact by human connection. He is also the founder of the alcohol-free, nootropical Orb Drinks, has spoken at TEDx and is a former finalist for Channel 4’s The Piano. Daniel now speaks across the UK, advocating for institutional and cultural change for young men and how we can help them develop emotional intelligence in a safe and supportive environment. Daniel and I speak about: 🔹Is society in a connection crisis? 🔹Modern challenges facing kids at school 🔹How can we encourage people to ask for help 🔹The role of music and creativity in overcoming trauma 🔹Resisting help (and the mindset shift that can change that) And much more… Enjoy this insightful conversation with Daniel Wilsher. --- 🔔 Follow Connected wherever you get your podcasts, so you don't miss an episode. 💬 Have your questions answered on a future episode!
