| 6/23/26 | 62. How Workplace Jargon Damages Trust | In this solo episode of It Starts With YOU, Vic O'Farrell explores the surprising connection between trust and communication. We often think trust is built through big actions and broken by major events, but what if it can also be damaged by something much smaller? The words we don't use. From workplace jargon and acronyms to assumptions about what people already know, Vic explains how language can unintentionally exclude, confuse and alienate others. Whether you're leading a team, presenting to an audience or simply having everyday conversations, the way you communicate can either build trust or slowly erode it. Using relatable examples from business and everyday life, this short but thought-provoking episode is a reminder that clarity creates confidence, inclusion creates connection and trust grows when everyone feels part of the conversation. .

The Bipolar Businessman: How Thomas Duncan Bell Rewired His Mind to Save His Life | In this powerful episode of It Starts With You, Vicky O'Farrell sits down with Thomas Duncan Bell, also known as The Bipolar Businessman, for an honest and deeply personal conversation about mental health, trauma, and the pursuit of purpose. Thomas opens up about living with a "smorgasbord" of mental health conditions including ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and more, sharing how childhood trauma shaped his self-worth and behaviours into adulthood. From standing on a train track ready to end his life, to founding Wellbeing in the Wilderness, a global initiative helping people heal through adventure, Thomas's story is one of raw pain, resilience, and transformation. You as the listener will come away with a better understanding of how early life experiences shape adult behaviour, why performance is often mistaken for self-worth, and how discomfort can be the key to growth. Thomas offers practical insights into wellbeing, including his four-layer wellbeing pyramid, and shares how movement, presence, and human connection can rewire a fractured mind. Whether you've experienced mental health challenges or simply want to better support others, this episode will leave you inspired, informed, and reminded that no one is ever truly alone. .

| 10/14/25 |  45. From Terrorist to Tour Guide: The Frank Portinari Story | In this episode, we sit down with Frank Portinari, whose life story is far from the typical motivational speaker narrative. Instead of tales of daring adventure or overcoming physical obstacles, Frank shares his journey from a tumultuous upbringing in Camden, London, through a life marked by gang culture, criminal involvement, and extremism. Frank candidly discusses his dual life as a school keeper and a senior member of the Ulster Defence Association during the Troubles in the 1990s, a period of his life that led to his arrest and time in prison for arms-related crimes. He explores the complexities of his behaviours, the allure and consequences of gang loyalty, his experiences with violence, and the catalytic events that led to self-reflection and change. The conversation also touches on personal relationships, particularly Frank's enduring marriage to Lisa, and how these bonds have weathered his darkest times. Vicky and Frank delve into how group behaviours, loyalty, and the need for belonging can drive individuals to extremes, and how introspection, communication, and making amends can foster genuine transformation. The episode ultimately highlights the importance of understanding, rehabilitation, and meeting others halfway on the path to change. .

Born and raised in Camden, Frank once led a double life — working as a schoolkeeper while secretly involved in gun smuggling at the height of the Troubles. After serving time in prison, Frank made the difficult decision to walk away from extremism and rebuild his life. He now runs The Dark Side of Camden walking tour, offering a raw, honest, and educational look at the area's murky past, including his own. Frank is also the author of Left Right Loyalist: From One Extreme to Another, a memoir tracing his journey through radical politics, violence, and redemption. Through speaking, storytelling, and his lived experience, Frank sheds light on the psychology of gang culture, radicalisation, and the behaviours that shape us — and how they can be changed.

| 9/16/25 |  43. Recognising and Challenging Our Hidden Biases with Jez Daniels | In this episode of the It Starts with YOU podcast, host Vic O'Farrell has an insightful and powerful conversation with Jez, a cybersecurity and cloud computing consultant with a remarkable professional background including roles in the UK government, retail, insurance, the police, fire service, and the armed forces. The episode centres on the theme of unconscious and conscious biases, particularly those related to race, but also touching on wider aspects such as gender and neurodiversity. Jez shares deeply personal stories, many from his book "Marked by Difference," recounting incidents of racial profiling, workplace discrimination, and the everyday challenges he faces as a Black man in the UK. The discussion highlights how biases sometimes (subtle and sometimes overt) shape lived experiences in society, the workplace, and even simple daily tasks like shopping. Through examples from his life in policing, the armed forces, and as a consumer, Jez demonstrates how he has had to adapt his behaviour to mitigate risk and protect himself from others' assumptions. The episode encourages listeners to reflect on their own biases, recognise their existence and adopt practical strategies like pausing before reacting and asking more questions to reduce harm and foster a kinder, more equitable world. .

Prison, Pain, and Purpose: Neah Tuohy's Message of Hope for Troubled Teens | Title: Prison, Pain, and Purpose: Neah Tuohy's Message of Hope for Troubled Teens DISC Profile: Yellow & Red (I&D) | In this episode of It Starts With YOU, Vic O'Farrell sits down with the powerhouse that is Neah Tuohy, better known as Neah Inspired. From a childhood of undiagnosed ADHD and unhealed trauma, to a violent incident in her 20s that led to a 12-year prison sentence, seven of which she served, Neah's story is as raw as it is transformative. She opens up about the chaos of her teenage years, the pivotal moment that changed everything, and how prison forced her to face herself in a way that nothing else could. But this isn't a story about being defined by your past, it's about resilience, reflection, and the choice to rebuild. Today, Neah is using her experiences to change lives, founding a community interest company to protect vulnerable teenage girls from grooming and exploitation, and speaking out to raise awareness about ADHD, trauma, and systemic failures. Together, Vic and Neah explore how trauma shapes behaviour and how to unpick it, why the right question isn't "what's wrong with you?" but "what's happening with you?", and the lessons seven years inside taught Neah about resilience, compassion, and self-worth. This conversation is powerful, unfiltered, and ultimately hopeful, a reminder that your past does not define you, but how you rise from it can.

Finding Your Voice: Confidence, Identity, and Connection with Fiona Brennan Scott | DISC Profile: Yellow & Green (I&S) | In this episode of the "It Starts with YOU" Vic O'Farrell welcomes Fiona Brennan Scott, a renowned voice and speech coach, to discuss the power and impact of voice, both literally and figuratively, in our personal and professional lives.

Alan Evans on Imposter Syndrome, Fear, and the Art of Great Coaching | DISC Profile: Green & Blue (IC&S) | In episode 39 of the "It Starts with YOU" podcast, host Vic O'Farrell sits down with Alan Evans, a principal learning consultant, to explore the impact of self-awareness and personality on personal and professional life. The conversation dives into how understanding one's own behavioural style can influence relationships, team dynamics, and leadership effectiveness.
