These days, we talk a lot about mental health and self-care and rightly so.

The most simple aim in life is to be happy. And if we can leave everyone we come into contact with a little happier for the experience, then surely that's a day well spent.

My guest on today's podcast is Oscar Bond, not only is he one of the happiest people I know, but he's also a great hairdresser, a very accomplished educator, a great entertainer, and he has a stutter, and the most refreshing thing is he couldn't care less about it.

Like most of us, Oscar admits to having all the daily challenges that we all face, and amongst the good times he has had some tough times in business.

But through it all, he's always smiling and makes those around him lighten up and laugh.

In today's podcast, we will discuss:

● Happiness

● Stuttering …and…

● Overcoming the challenges that life throws at you

And lots more!
