Welcome everyone to the latest show of the Travelling Optimist podcast. This latest episode is choc full of goodies. 

Today we’re going to explore the beautiful world of relationships. Now our relationships with everyone in our life has a profound effect on our well being. It’s no secret that over the last 18 months some of our relationships have been understandably strained, sadly some have not been able to recover but some have thrived and grown from a new found connection.

But what’s the secret to having incredible relationships? What’s the secret to having intimate relationships?  I think everyone will have their own answers to these questions but queue my latest guest on The Travelling Optimist podcast, John Kenny, the relationship guy!

John is widely regarding as a pre-eminence in relationships and has been featured Talk Radio and a heap of other media including the Telegraph. 

If I were to describe John in a short sentence I’d say that he’s calm, he’s balanced and he has an energy and light that belies an emotionally destructive past that he endured for a large chunk of his life.

I really enjoyed my conversation with John, we flow into John’s past to find themes of self sabotage that, from the outside looking in, crippled a young and talented athlete and hampered a young man who kept attracting similarly destructive people into his life. 

But John doesn’t have any regrets, and some of the myriad reasons why so many people are turning to him to help rediscover their relationship mojo, is in part due to him mastering the art of forgiveness and acceptance of himself. 

So this is me and The Relationship Guy John Kenny talking about life as a budding GB sprint star , his journey and experiences and how he uses these learnings to help others who find themselves in similar positions. 

But ultimately, this is a conversation with a guy who has found his lane, it’s the lane that has led him to a much higher purpose, a lane where he puts his metaphorical GB sprint vest on every morning and is now embarking on a race with no finishing line,  a race - to change the world, one relationship at a time. Oh - he loves 80’s music too.
