About this listen
In this episode, I sit down with Ray Fleming for a conversation that goes far beyond first impressions.
We talk about growing up without a dad, the importance of male role models and how confidence, discipline and perspective are shaped when guidance doesn’t come in the traditional way. Ray opens up about living with a disability and why he’s never allowed it to define who he is, choosing instead to see life through the bigger picture.
We also dive into some uncomfortable but important topics: pity & empathy, whether empathy can sometimes hold people back, resilience and how adversity forces you to think differently. Ray shares his experience of leaving school young to care for his grandad, the isolation that followed, and what it took to shift out of a difficult headspace.
This is a conversation about identity, responsibility, long-term thinking, and why short-term fixes often help the giver more than the person receiving them.
A huge thank you to Ray for sharing his story so openly.
And a big thank you to Parliament Sq Coffee for letting us film ☕️
