In October 2020, we spoke with serving soldier, Paul Minter who after 18 years of active service; including 5 front line tours of Iraq and Afghanistan during which time he was blown up twice; Paul was being medically discharged suffering from severe symptoms of PTSD including depression, paranoia and anxiety.

Back then Paul was planning his military retreat. Not on the battlefield, but a place of safety and sanctuary for both serving and ex- military to treat their mental health.

That planning has become reality and with his charity head-up.org.uk established he just needs to raise £3 Million to fund The Retreat.

To achieve this and to create awareness, Paul will be running around the coastline of the entire UK. A mere 5800 miles! Or 191 back to back Marathons or if you're a fitness watch wearer, 9, 176, 000 steps!!!

The run starts on March 1st 2022 in Liverpool and is due to finish back in Liverpool on October 4th 2022.

We caught up with Paul to wish him well and to make sure he was ready for this life changing challenge.

The Scary Guy Podcast

The Scary Guy's sole mission is “The Total Elimination of Hate, Violence and Prejudice Worldwide.” 

These were the first words that Scary spoke when he began his mission in 1998. Since that day, Scary has worked with millions of people through Television, film, radio, social media and live shows around the world promoting peace through the teaching of Love and Acceptance of all people. His audience consists of both youth and adults on an individual, community and society level, unaware of how they are using negative energy to meet their needs.

Scary’s work identifies an enormous cultural and educational void in the upbringing of the World’s children. For years, nations have experienced the relentless growth of “The World’s Number One Social Disease; Hate, Violence, and Prejudice,” which Scary describes as an insidious disease, polarizing our youth and societies and precluding us from achieving the true potential of our common humanity.

The Scary Guy is a unique entity! He is a real force the “Live” person that a sizeable and growing segment of our youth today hunger for – someone to provide them with believable guidance in this current era of social polarization, brought on by hate, prejudice and spiraling “non-responsibility-accepting, no-accountability” conduct. His presence shocks people into an awed state of attention. His message is then delivered to a rapt and receptive audience.

For the first time, this message is being delivered in a dedicated podcast
