Confidence Credentials

Episode 06: Simon Whitaker Episode Description: In this profoundly intimate episode, join us as Simon Whitaker, one of our hosts, bravely unveils the layers of his personal journey. Growing up with divorced parents, Simon candidly shares the impact on his mental health, navigating struggles that persisted into adulthood. A poignant turning point came with the death of his father, leading Simon to embark on the creation of Master Debonair. In this raw conversation, Simon delves into his daily struggles, the battle with alcohol, and the transformative practices—therapy, a nourishing diet, and exercise—that have become pillars of his resilience. Having walked the path of sobriety for three years, Simon reveals how he's developed a healthy relationship with alcohol, offering insights into his ongoing journey of self-discovery and growth. Simon Whitaker is CEO of Master Debonair, a menswear retailer. Dave Algeo is a coach, speaker and writer on achieving success with wellbeing (rather than at the expense of it). He regularly coaches clients on how to regain control over their health and weight and make sustainable changes in their lifestyle and how they feel about themselves - improving sleep, emotional coping, inner-confidence and getting more from life. Dave regularly speaks to groups and audiences about positive coping and putting stress in its place - His phrase 'are you sweating the right sprouts,' has led him to be labelled the 'sprout-guy' in some quarters.
