An avid mountain biker and all round great guy, we discuss how he spends his time when relaxing and find out where he draws some inspiration to keep moving in his purpose and while doing his highly important but selfless work.
My guest Craig Wilkinson is the Founder and CEO of Father A Nation which focuses on equipping men to be brave, fearless role models and fathers who use their strength to love, protect and stand against abuse. .
