In this episode of the HelloTomDyer experience I talk about taking challenges to test our limits and broaden our comfort zone! Jesus Christ Superstar in the Cardiff Open Air Theatre has kicked off and I’m loving it! One example of things I do that is daring. What can you do that is daring..?

My life is non-stop at the moment but I am really enjoying it. I haven’t had an evening off since July 3rd. Am I tired? Yes! So I mind? No! I’m doing what I enjoy with people I enjoy. I hope you’re doing the same and if you’re not, get in touch, I’d love to help! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/hellotomdyer/message

Welcome to another episode of HelloTomDyer Recap! In this episode I talk about my new training regime to run the Cardiff Half Marathon in October and how I’m already injured.

If you want to see pictures of the Volunteer Awards head over to Tenovus Cancer Care’s Facebook page where you can see the love! Also, Jesus Christ Superstar open on Thursday 25th July and Blackadder opens on Monday 12th August! Busy times! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/hellotomdyer/message

This week I reflect on my conversation with Ben last week. Being around people who build you up. Valuing friendship and what that looks like and I ask you to take more action in your life. Life is busy at the minute with Jesus Christ Superstar launching in two weeks and Blackadder in 4 weeks! Excuse the driving and the distraction - I was staying safe! Have a great week! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/hellotomdyer/message

5 Questions returns with this insightful and honest conversation with Ben.  I've known Ben for a over a decade and it was a pleasure to deliberately talk to Ben about my 5 Questions and to delve deeper into conversation than we usually would; we are quite deep talkers anyway! In this episode you will hear Ben talk about his passion for education and where that came from.  You will also hear about his meditation practise.  He goes into depth about how running changed his life and how the online community supported him through that. Ben also talks very candidly about coming out and the impact that had with him and his family and how that has been left. Lastly, Ben leaves with us with his thoughts on what he wishes everyone should know - tune in to find out what that is. As ever, you can contact me on social media platforms on @HelloTomDyer. I would love to talk further with you about the themes raised in this conversation. I believe ordinary people live extra-ordinary lives, this conversation prove it. If you

This week I talk about the impact Tenovus Cancer Care’s fundraising groups have on the charity and our ability to support people affected by cancer. I had the pleasure of hosting an event for our Aberdare fundraising group, Hymns & Pimms. It was a lovely event making me think back to my time in primary school singing hymns in assembly. We also had a guest singer from the local school, Keira who gave a brilliant rendition of Pie Jesus. I love hosting events and have been getting plenty of experience in this last 12 months. That event raised £308 for the charity - not bad for 2 hours work! I hope you enjoy. 5 Questions looks like it will be back next week! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/hellotomdyer/message

This week I have a guest on my show! My very own sister, Abigail Dyer (@Abigail281281)! My vision for this podcast is to not only share what I am doing with my life but to highlight the amazing in the every day person. I believe passionately that we all lives and that this comes from acceptance of who we are and a committing toward our own better future. This can take the form of contentment and in the form of trying to ever progress and learn more in our quest to live on this planet in a way that makes us feel happy and content. Abigail is one of my greatest supporters and I very much doubt I have persevered as much as I have with my #IAccept vision without Abigail's guidance and wisdom. She also loves the Unisex 3/4 Raglan Tee as she has three of them in different colours. I received mine today! In this episode I ask Abigail five questions that I wrote down over a year ago and I think you'll be blown away by Abigail's experiences in life and how this has shaped her outlook on life as she currently trains to

HelloTomDyer: Why ‘I Accept’ This is a revealing podcast explaining my mantra behind ‘I Accept’. My movement to help me and others get out of our own way and move forward with our lives. The movement was started after a calamitous 6 months back in 2017 which saw my relationship breakdown, be homeless, face redundancy and have my car broken into. I kept face about a lot of things during that time and even laughed, loudly, about it all. The car being broken into was the last straw. My laptop and external hard drive with a years worth of video was taken. I was well and truly defeated. I didn’t have a home. I’d lost my network of friends. I had zero job security. And my ex was starting a relationship with a friend of mine. I was devastated. I spent 3 three months away from Cardiff. I fell into depression and anxiety and couldn’t function. Through my family and my old football team I gathered my strength and fortitude again. I started getting ideas again. I was invited to apply for my current role - a pro

I owe what I do to my time spent as a volunteer with Pembrokeshire Citizens Advice Bureau (now Pembrokeshire Citizens Advice) after I graduated university. I now lead a team of 30 volunteers for Tenovus Cancer Care’s ACTivate Your Life - Affected By Cancer service. If you want to gain insight into a career or want to get your foot into the door, volunteer. Particularly in smaller organisations you may have the opportunity to take on more than you would in a traditional employment set up, so for it. Follow that passion and work for free. Listening to many podcasts from business types it’s clear that they all feel the same way. Find what value you can bring someone, provide it for free, the return will be greater than the effort you put in. The value I thought I could bring to Citizens Advice was time, commitment, technologically minded and enthusiasm for law and a willingness to learn. I’ve advised thousands of people since and was offered my first legal job there. The rest, as they say, is history. Tenovus Ca

In this episode I reflect on a week where I’ve been playing a doctor, farmer, man in dress shop and Turkey the Pimp.

I was made aware of this day by Tim Ferriss. Hey, how are you day is the perfect way to show someone that you care and give them time to speak to others. So try it today, whatever day it is. Ask some one how they are, and take the time to listen. I promise you'll feel better for it to. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/hellotomdyer/message

!!Happy New Year!! I wasn't able to just pick my best 9 pictures and I had so much fun looking back over my pictures that I've gone for a top 40! If you haven't already gone back through your camera roll on your phone and look at everything you've been a part of this year, the things you've witnessed, do it now! You've probably done a lot more than you think; it was for me! My year didn't start like this though and January was genuinely stomach-turning but thank you to my family and friends old and new for helping me find me again. Tenovus Cancer Care​ - ACTivate Your Life and Machu Picchu Broad Haven F.C​ - I'm better now than I was 10 years ago! Penarth Operatic & Dramatic Society​ - Spamalot Cardiff Open Air Theatre Festival: Everyman 19​ - Fiddler on the Roof Technicolour​ - Seasons of Love (Sorry if I've missed any other organisations from this list!) There are still things that need work but compared to this time last year, good grief what a difference! My New Years video from last year still exists

Back in November I presented a 5 minute lightning talk on Tenovus Cancer Care's service ACTivate Your Life - Affected By Cancer based on our preliminary findings from our evaluation for the first 6 months of the service.  I hope you find this insightful and helpful and if you have any questions please either drop me a message on the Anchor App or get in touch @HelloTomDyer --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/hellotomdyer/message
