Sunday Summary from Tom the Taxi Driver

Hey , welcome back to my Sunday Summary, a collection of insights and my behind the scenes from the past week.

This week has a particular theme of health and wellbeing.

🏃 A new fitness regime:You might remember on a previous email that I have struggled with finding a reliable and consistent fitness regime.Recently I've started on T25 by Shaun T (he was the legend who made the Insanity workouts all those years ago!).Effectively, it is a 25 minute home HIIT (high intensity interval training) workout.  I had great success with the original Insanity during the 2020 lockdown, and now I have conditioned myself that if I cannot find 25 minutes a day to dedicate to my health, then what am I really doing with my life?

🇬🇧 Future Tour Guiding:I’ve had a lot of contact with regards to tours of London.At this time I am pausing all my tours of London to prioritise my YouTube and social media’s.  I will be back in the near future with tours and will update you as soon as they are ready. I want to optimise my tours and process to ensure I deliver the very best London has to offer! Stay tuned to this newsletter as I will let you know when I launch again.  If you have any suggestions or unique experiences you’d like me to offer, please just reply to this email 😊 🎧 What I'm listening to:"Can't Hurt Me: Master Your Mind and Defy the Odds" - David GogginsYou may have come across David Goggins on your socials, or frequently mentioned as the madman he is on the Joe Rogan podcast.He is an ultramarathon runner and ex US Navy Seal, I sought to listen to his popular book in an inspiration to get up on my arse and working out.Couple of chapters in, his unbelievable childhood just shows that no matter our individual circumstances, we can use pain and trauma to break free.  Whilst I have never had anything akin to his experiences, it shows that if he can generate the success and determination he has, we can all be capable of great things.Remember if you are not already on Audible, using my link will get you a free month trial. I highly recommend if you drive a lot for a living!

This week on YouTube:

I open up about my tattoos.  I’ve never really shared this with anyone so was a hard video to make. Slightly different from taxi driving but a huge bonus for those of you who wish to find out a bit more about me 😊 .

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Please feel free to reach out to me with your; comments, concerns or just general conversation.  I'd love to know what you're up to or what you might be working on! 📝😁Have a great week everyone!Tom
