Instead of succumbing to despair, one can choose to grow through adversity and find new paths in life. Losing a long-held identity as a boxer forced a deep exploration of self. This process led to a better understanding of personal motivations, desires, and the realisation that fulfilment comes from within rather than external achievements. It's essential to appreciate what one has while still aspiring for more. Recognising the value of current circumstances can open doors for new opportunities and enhance overall happiness. Relationships play a crucial role in personal growth. The experience of navigating through a marriage and subsequent breakup provided valuable lessons about love, attention, and the importance of mutual growth in partnerships. BEST MOMENTS "One punch, it wasn't even a punch, it was a forearm. One forearm bashed me in the eye and I lost my career, my dream, my ambition, but also my identity." "I always wanted attention. I realised if I worked really hard at school, I got attention from the teachers. If I did stuff in sport, I got attention, and I loved it." "You can either go through adversity or you can grow through adversity. You can become a better person because of the shit you go through." "It's easy to romanticise the life you think that you would have had as if it was going to happen that way." "I wanted to be a beacon of light for people, not just from my town, but from towns like London, Liverpool, or Birmingham."

On the afternoon of Wednesday 14 August 2024 a group of RNIB campaigners including RNIB Chair Anna Tylor and RNIB Volunteer Paul Goddard handed in a letter to No 10 Downing Street, which sought signatures during the recent General Election, calling for voting to finally be made accessible for people with sight loss. The letter was open for blind and partially sighted people, and concerned members of the public, to sign during the 2024 General Election campaign, closing on polling day. 2,443 people signed the letter, including celebrity supporters such as Joe Joyce, Anthony Ogogo and Chris Skelley. The letter calls for blind and partially sighted people to finally be given an independent and secret vote and for the Prime Minister to make this a reality. RNIB Connect Radio's Toby Davey was joined by Ross Meegan, RNIB Assistant Public Affairs officer and Mike Wordingham, RNIB Policy Manager who were part of the group handing in the letter to No 10 Downing Street to find out how the letter came about, the call for the Prime Minister to make voting accessible, independent and in secret for blind and partially sighted people and how not only the letter but the photo of the letter being handed in will help to make it possible for blind and partially sighted people to vote independently and in secret hopefully in time for the next general election.

In this fan-favorite episode of "Getting Back Up," Anthony Ogogo welcomes back Jax Feely, whose inspiring journey from Jessica to Jax has captivated listeners. Jax shares the intimate details of their transition, discussing the surgeries, the transformative impact of hormone therapy, and the unique challenges and joys of dating as a transgender person. They also delve into the critical issues of media representation and the importance of education and acceptance for the transgender community. This enlightening and popular conversation not only dispels myths but also provides valuable insights into the transgender experience. Tune in to revisit this powerful episode and deepen your understanding and appreciation of the transgender community.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Transitioning is a personal journey and there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Some individuals may choose to undergo surgeries, while others may opt for hormone therapy or other forms of transition. Hormone therapy, specifically testosterone for female-to-male transition, can have a significant impact on physical and emotional changes, such as facial hair growth, voice deepening, and emotional stability. Dating and relationships as a transgender person can be complex, but it ultimately comes down to individual connections and chemistry. Attraction is not solely based on physical characteristics. Education about gender identity and transgender issues should focus on promoting acceptance, understanding, and allowing individuals to explore their own identities without pressure or labels. Representation and media portrayal of transgender individuals can have a significant impact on public perception and acceptance. Clumsy or negative representations can perpetuate harmful stereotypes, while positive and accurate representation can foster understanding and empathy. BEST MOMENTS "So for me, I have had, I've begun taking testosterone approximately nearly, how long has it been? Two and a half years ago."  "I'm so happy in myself now and how I look physically and, you know, that I can present with my chest and how I am and all those things."  "I'm happy. My family's happier than ever. I'm happier, stronger mentally, emotionally, physically than I've ever been."  "I think of the there's not enough representation yet. There's not enough. There's not enough safety. There's not enough acceptance that then causes the fear and the uproar." "I think it's just a massive lack of understanding. Obviously, when you've got people who have known you for a long time, those mistakes are going to happen, and we have to allow people to make those mistakes."  HOST BIO Olympic medal-winning boxer, Anthony Ogogo, teetered on the brink of a world title before a career-ending eye injury left him mostly blind in one eye. Battling years of depression, he reinvented himself as a professional wrestler with All Elite Wrestling in America.

It's essential to stay humble, particularly in fame and success, don't take it for granted and recognise where you are.

I use it as fire. And I use it a way to stay passionate and to stay grounded and to stay focused on what I want to do now."  "Wrestling attracts I can't think of a better word other than misfit, a bunch of misfits. And I'm a misfit. I'm in it. I'm right in the middle." "Even now when people may say something to me that gets me a little bit [upset] it's probably coming from an internal.  It's probably coming from an internal place. It's probably nothing to do with you."

In today's episode, Anthony Ogogo welcomes back Jax Feeley, a transgender man who shares his inspiring journey of transitioning from Jessica to Jax. This episode focuses on the topic of transgender surgeries, including hormone therapy and top surgery, as well as the emotional and physical impact of these procedures. Jax also discusses his experiences with dating as a transgender man and the misconceptions surrounding gender identity and sexuality. The conversation highlights the importance of education, representation, and acceptance in creating a safer and more inclusive society for transgender individuals. KEY TAKEAWAYS Transitioning is a personal journey and there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Some individuals may choose to undergo surgeries, while others may opt for hormone therapy or other forms of transition. Hormone therapy, specifically testosterone for female-to-male transition, can have a significant impact on physical and emotional changes, such as facial hair growth, voice deepening, and emotional stability. Dating and relationships as a transgender person can be complex, but it ultimately comes down to individual connections and chemistry. Attraction is not solely based on physical characteristics. Education about gender identity and transgender issues should focus on promoting acceptance, understanding, and allowing individuals to explore their own identities without pressure or labels. Representation and media portrayal of transgender individuals can have a significant impact on public perception and acceptance. Clumsy or negative representations can perpetuate harmful stereotypes, while positive and accurate representation can foster understanding and empathy. BEST MOMENTS "So for me, I have had, I've begun taking testosterone approximately nearly, how long has it been? Two and a half years ago."  "I'm so happy in myself now and how I look physically and, you know, that I can present with my chest and how I am and all those things."  "I'm happy. My family's happier than ever. I'm happier, stronger mentally, emotionally, physically than I've ever been."  "I think of the there's not enough representation yet. There's not enough. There's not enough safety. There's not enough acceptance that then causes the fear and the uproar." "I think it's just a massive lack of understanding. Obviously, when you've got people who have known you for a long time, those mistakes are going to happen, and we have to allow people to make those mistakes."  HOST BIO Olympic medal-winning boxer, Anthony Ogogo, teetered on the brink of a world title before a career-ending eye injury left him mostly blind in one eye.

In this episode of the podcast, Anthony interviews Scott Oakley, a successful actor and mentor with a remarkable life story. Scott opens up about his difficult childhood, including experiences of sexual abuse and the challenges he faced growing up. Despite these hardships, Scott found solace and inspiration in acting, which he pursued from a young age. However, his journey in Hollywood was marred by addiction and personal struggles. It was a DUI and a traumatic incident in jail that led Scott to find sobriety and turn his life around. He also shares his surprising career as a bounty hunter and the dangers he faced in apprehending fugitives. Through it all, Scott's resilience and determination shine through, making him an inspiring figure for listeners. Key Takeaways Scott Oakley had a difficult childhood, marked by sexual abuse and a lack of support from his family. This led to him seeking identity and escape through acting and other vices. Scott found solace and sobriety through a Christian rehab program after a DUI and a traumatic incident in jail. This marked a turning point in his life and allowed him to start finding himself. Scott became a bounty hunter, or fugitive recovery agent, after completing a course and working with bondsmen. He hunted down dangerous criminals and used tactics such as lying and surprise to apprehend them. Scott's experience as a father was influenced by his own upbringing, and he strived to be a better parent. He acknowledged that he may have left scars but believed he was a good dad and had a strong bond with his children. Scott's journey highlights the importance of resilience, finding one's identity, and overcoming adversity. He has used his experiences to inspire others and show that scars do not define a person, but rather their ability to keep fighting and moving forward.
