Description
<p>Mark Hunt is one of the toughest fighters to ever step into a ring or octagon. </p><br><p>This episode needs to come with a very strong warning. There is a lot of coarse language. </p><p>Also, other themes which could be unsuitable for some: drugs, alcohol, gambling, violence, and extreme childhood trauma. </p><p>None of this is done in a gratuitous way- Marks life has been one of extreme highs and lows and he is a man who doesn’t shy away from any of it. </p><p>I’ve included a list of helpful resources at the bottom of this page in case any of the content covered raises concerns for you or someone you care about.</p><br><p>Some of the subjects we cover include his ongoing legal battle with UFC which stems from his staunch anti-doping stance. This legal is stuff has been consuming Marks life in recent years and that becomes very clear during this podcast.</p><p>Beyond that we talk about his future aspirations in philanthropy and business.</p><p>His horrific childhood, forgiveness towards his abusive parents and breaking free from past traumas that shaped him</p><p>Lessons from imprisonment as a young man.</p><p>His reflections on dealing with various addictions.</p><p>Lessons from therapy and much more.</p><br><p>My goal with all these discussions is to try and get a better understanding of a person and their choices through non-judgemental conversation. </p><p>Thank you for listening and understanding.</p><br><p>HELPFUL SITES AND NUMBERS:</p><p><a href="https://www.lifeline.org.nz/services/lifeline-helpline" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lifeline</a> (24/7) - 0800 543 354 or (09) 5222 999 within Auckland</p><p><a href="http://www.depression.org.nz/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Depression Helpline</a> – 0800 111 757 or free text 4202 (to talk to a trained counsellor about how you are feeling or to ask any questions)</p><p><a href="http://www.anxiety.org.nz/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Anxiety phone line</a> - 0800 269 4389 (0800 ANXIETY)</p><p><a href="http://www.alcoholdrughelp.org.nz/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Alcohol and Drug Helpline</a> - 0800 787 797 or <a href="http://alcoholdrughelp.org.nz/contact/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Online Chat </a></p><p><a href="http://www.gamblinghelpline.co.nz/Home_452.aspx" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Gambling Helpline</a> - 0800 654 655</p><p><a href="https://www.familialtrust.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Familial Trust</a> - Provide hope, well-being and understanding to families affected by addiction</p><p><a href="http://www.kidsline.org.nz/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Kidsline </a> - (24/7) 0800 54 37 54 (0800 KIDSLINE) for young people up to 18 years of age</p><p><a href="http://www.youthline.co.nz/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Youthline </a>- (24/7) 0800 376 633, free text 234 </p><p><a href="http://www.2shine.org.nz/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Shine</a> - 0508 744 633 confidential domestic abuse helpline </p><p><a href="http://www.areyouok.org.nz/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Are You OK </a>- 0800 456 450 family violence helpline</p><p><a href="https://www.womensrefuge.org.nz/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Woman's Refuge Crisisline</a> - 0800 733 843 (0800 REFUGE) (for women living with violence, or in fear, in their relationship or family)</p><p><a href="http://www.rapecrisisnz.org.nz/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Rape Crisis</a> - 0800 883 300 (for support after rape or sexual assault)</p><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
