Preventing Suicide by Improving Mental Wellbeing

Steve Phillip from The Jordon Legacy joined Jo Thackwary to share his personal story that led to the foundation of The Jordon Legacy whose mission is:Most deaths by suicide are preventable, so we must do everything we can to help people who don’t want to die but are feeling they can’t bear the pain of living in their current circumstances. Our mission is to improve people’s mental wellbeing and the support available; to reduce people’s sense of social isolation; to encourage the development of a kinder society, and help people feel a sense of achievement and contentment because of who they are not what they have or don’t have.

Exploring the world of plant based foods.

Cesar Torres from Devon Garden Foods joined Isabellor Venour,  exploring the world of plant-based foods and share his inspirational story too.
The mission of Devon Garden Foods is to create a range of dairy alternatives that are better for the environment and better for the body. The first product is a milk-alternative made from yellow split peas, one of the most sustainable crops in the world. They can be grown close to home (unlike almonds or soya), and are full of nutrition.
The company was created whilst Cesar Torres was completing his MBA at the University of Exeter. Having quit his job as a geotechnical engineer in the offshore oil and gas and renewable energy industry, he was keen to do something more personally meaningful that would benefit our planet. The idea of creating a highly nutritious plant-milk came after Cesar suffered a bad motorcycle accident that shattered his leg and prevented him from being his normal active self. During his recovery, he found that plant-based products on the market did not have enough protein or fibre and were absolutely packed with sugar.

What Talk are you Walking?
We wear our words. Weaving the warp and weft of our limitations, with words, we build the high fences of our limitations.
We tell our story every day, not realising the power that lies within the telling and the listening. There in the space between, magic can be found and profound changes can be made.’

Inspired conversations with Ruth Owen Episode 8 with Mark Mardell.

In this podcast,Ruth Owen is joined by Mark Mardell.Mark Mardell has been at the forefront of reporting and analysing major word events for radio and TV for twenty-five years.  
He now presents the ‘world at one’ and ‘world this weekend’ on BBC Radio Four, and is currently engaged in making a documentary series on the 45-year relationship of the UK in the EU, called “Brexit – a love story ?”
 He joined the BBC’s political unit in 1989  just before Chancellor Nigel Lawson’s resignation. That’s when the roller coaster began.  As  Newsnight’s political editor and then the chief political correspondent for the BBC’s main TV and radio programmes, he reported on the huge changes in British politics including the fall of Lady Thatcher, the rise of Euroscepticism, the formation of New Labour and the road to the Iraq war.
His weekly diary for “A week in politics” became a main feature of that show highlighting his acerbic humour, and occasionally odd fancy dress. He wrote a political short story broadcast on Radio 4 and a book for children on “how to succeed in TV”. 
After the 2005 election, he became the BBC’s first European editor covering the birth of the Lisbon treaty and EU politics in all its guises.  In 2009 he became the BBC North America editor, reporting on the 2012 Presidential election, the rise and perhaps fall of the Tea Party, and the twists and turns of Barack Obama’s foreign policy. He has made radio documentaries on the relationship between China and the USA, “Harmony and Hostility” and the future of the Republican party broadcast on Radio Four. He’s fascinated by the intersection of domestic and international politics and has now returned to the UK to present “The world this weekend” and “world at one”.
