Welcome back to Talking Transitions. This weeks guest is Luke Powell aka Shredfast.

Luke played football for Everton up until 18 years old, until like many others his dream of becoming a professional footballer came to an end.

In his early twenties, he faced mental health challenges and battled depression. Instead of succumbing, he delved into mental health awareness, spirituality, cognitive performance, and physical fitness. His quest took him around the world, from rigorous four-week fight camps in Thailand to braving the frosty peaks of Poland with the legendary Wim Hof.

After many years finding himself in different jobs, his passion always led him back to fitness industry and his mission is clear; to inspire, motivate, and empower individuals on their wellness journey.

ShredFast has grown exponentially, from just Luke and website developer, to now a team of 15. The unique thing is, each member of the team has used the programme to better their lives before joining the team.

Welcome back to Talking Transitions! Today, we have an incredible story to share with you – the inspiring journey of a professional footballer who not only battled on the field but faced life's toughest challenges off it.



Join us as we hear the emotional tale of Anthony Forde, his fiancée's brave fight against a brain tumour diagnosis and the unexpected support he received from none other than Ryan Reynolds.





Anthony found a home and a family in the form of Wrexham AFC. The club, now co-owned by Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds, has become more than just a football team; it's a community that supports its players through thick and thin.



We delved into Anthony’s journey from the remote village of Ballingarry in Ireland to the pinnacle of English football in the Premier League.



Being promoted to League Two with Wrexham and celebrating in style in Las Vegas alongside his team mates and the owner.



Being settled at Wrexham AFC and wanting to see out the rest of his career at the club that has given him so much love.



Without further ado, here’s Anthony's story in his words; the good the bad and the career defining.
