Ladies n' Genmin welcome to another very exciting episode of "The Good Listening To Podcast" with me Chris Grimes!
Welcome to a very special "Brand Strand" Episode of "The Good Listening To Podcast" - with me Chris Grimes - whereby I wrap an Episode of the Podcast (with its strong Storytelling construct) around a particular Company or Individual to amplify their Company (or Personal) Brand:
And to that end, please welcome to the "GLT Clearing" the warm, GENEROUS, incredibly insightful - and gentle man - that is Johann Ilgenfritz Creator & Curator of UK Health Radio - and Health Triangle Magazine.
A truly compelling "Survivor's Story" of acute self-awareness - PURPOSE - and generosity.
As a cancer survivor given only 1 year to live (circa 2012) Johann not only survived but his PURPOSE and true reason for being was born: To create and curate UK Health Radio, as a new & much more restorative form of Radio Therapy for us all!
Backed up by Johann's favourite Mark Twain quote:
"The 2 most important days of your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why."
Here then is his story of the "day he found out WHY."

Think "Desert Island Discs" but in a Clearing!
Also think about William Shakespeare - and about Jaques in "As You Like It" in particular:
"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages..."
Jaques: Act II Scene VII
