Louder Now Episode #132. I got connected with Chris through our friend Lee and it has been a few months in the making. I so loved talking with Chris about his mental health journey. We talk martial arts, buddhism, faith, suffering and much more. Chris also has his own mental health podcast.

Chris's BIO:

Hi! I'm Chris and I run the podcast and livestream; "Chatty Geek, Hidden Dragon" an independent podcast and livestream about mental and social health, and embracing all that makes us unique. I am driven to do my bit to try and make the world a better place by raising awareness of mental and social health issues. I have practiced martial arts for over 20 years and have achieved a 4th Dan and represented Great Britain on two occasions.

I follow a Buddhist belief system and am a member of a Sangha called the Western Chan Fellowship. Through my own experience and beliefs I share my own thoughts on how we can improve our own mental and social health, and teach this in my own martial arts classes. I also appreciate and want to give others the voice to share their own beliefs and mechanisms for improving their own mental and social health, as I don't believe there is a "one size fits all" solution.
