For episode 3, James is joined by great friend and family man Shaun Toner.  Shaun shares his story of growing up in the city of Glasgow - from having to adopt the role of 'head of the family' in his teenage years due to an alcoholic, abusive and absentee father, through to his early twenties and searching for validation in all the corners of the cities nightlife scene, he discusses his journey of finding himself. Through poverty, desperation and second chances, he now finds himself, as he so wonderfully puts it at the start, "happy". Shaun does some fantastic work to support some amazing charities close to his heart - CHAS (Children's Hospices Across Glasgow) and The Trussell Trust (National Food Banks) are two of his most cherished. If you would like to donate to either of these, please click the links. Shaun has also kindly offered for anyone wanting to discuss any of the issues raised in this episode, that his DM's are open - feel free to look him up on Instagram, or you'll find him in the free men's online community 'The Honest Blokes' Society'
