Summary
Jack Faint reflects on being diagnosed with a brain tumour in his mid-twenties while living in Australia - a moment that completely changed the trajectory of his life. What followed was a deep period of questioning, exploration, and responsibility for how he wanted to live. That path has since led him to run the length of India, raising tens of thousands (£) for cancer charities. In this episode, Tommy and Jack talk life, choice, responding to bad news, the mind–body connection, alternative medicine, and what it really means to move forward when nothing goes to plan. A grounded, thoughtful conversation with someone who has lived - and continues to live - the questions most of us try not to ask. --- Today’s Sponsor: INOV8 - USE THIS LINK to claim your discount (RUNNABLE code is being dodgy) Tommy's GROUP COACHING! ➡️ JOIN NOW ! ⬅️ Click the link for more information, including FAQs! --- If you’d like to contribute to Jack’s fundraiser, you can find that here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/jack-runs-the-length-of-india-4000km-in-80-days Follow Jack on Instagram: @jackefaint Find out more about the India Run: www.jackfaint.com --- SUBMIT A QUESTION : If you want to submit your own burning question, or a topic you think would be interesting to discuss on a future episode, record a short voice note.
