      Listened to it on audible, it's a great book about a great man and his friends. It's a story about being unapologetically yourself and living life on your own terms.

I am a stand up guy, I try my best in life, I look after friends and family, I do my best by people (strangers and associates alike) I will go out of my way to help someone if I can, I'm successful in business and live a good life, but like my friend Phil here I can only hope to be a percentage of what this guy is! I wish Toby all the best I really do.

    I trained to be a counsellor some years ago. I was a UK Samaritan for 10 years and, together with other voluntary work, I feel I have an innate ability to empathize with others. I was deeply moved by Toby`s high functioning empathy skills for others too and. more crucially, his very high degree of self awareness. In my humble opinion, Toby would also make a very effective counselor/therapist. He could build on his existing university education/1st class degree in business, and train professionally to degree level. He could also be very valuable to the MoD, serving military and veterans. I also feel Toby may have greatly benefited therapeutically from your other podcasts. I really enjoy your work, James, and Toby`s interview is, by far, your best. Much respect to both of you.

Along with many of his friends who died doing the same. If it weren't for people like Toby, the world would be a frightening place. We can never pay you back for what you have done. There are no words, I wish you a happy life, much love.

    Only heard about Toby Gutteridge via Mark Ormrod, (Man Down) another hero sharing a Facebook post. I feel overwhelmed by listening to this, 2 hours of pure honesty and inspiration from someone who literally had to rebuild himself and his life!!! James English literally asks the questions we are all thinking, but in such a way that he draws out Toby’s very deepest and sometimes darkest moments. I am disabled thanks to a chronic illness and sometimes wonder “what’s the point?” But we all have something to give, there is still purpose to being here. Thank you Tony for your Service, Sacrifice and bravery. Your Story is possibly the most inspiring I have ever heard. Everything you said makes total sense. Thank you for sharing it with us, keep on keeping on and I look forward to watching your business grow and hearing much more from you in the future.
