Description

In this episode we are talking about the very serious, and incredibly sad fact that suicide is the biggest killer of men under 50 years of age in the UK.   A staggering and heartbreaking statistic I am sure you will agree.    Regular listeners will already know that I am passionate about reaching as many people as possible in order to overcome the fear of failure.    Yet the stark reality is, too many people - but especially men - feel they have no alternative but to take their own lives.    I urge you to take just 13 minutes to listen to this episode.   But more than that, I urge you to take action.   To reach out to someone if this episode resonates because you are feeling low. To reach out if you think someone you know, might be feeling overwhelmingly low. And to share this episode on your social media channels.    If this episode prevents just one person from taking the devastating decision to take their own life, that’s one family who won’t lose a loved one, friends who won’t have to attend the funeral of someone they would have given anything to save and one less avoidable statistic.   In advance - thank you for listening and for sharing.    It’s never weak or “unmanly” to talk about our feelings. Let’s quicken the pace of change and save lives now.    Finally if you listen to this episode and need to talk, my DMs are open.    If you’re enjoying the Fail Forward podcasts, follow me on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok or LinkedIn for all the latest on my mission to help business owners Fail Forward.    Facebook https://www.facebook.com/failforwardhenri LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/henri-ghijben-539132101/ TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@failforward12 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/henrighijben/

Failure is only negative if you don’t learn from it Fail Forward is the weekly podcast hosted by entrepreneur and family man Henri Ghijben. In each episode you’ll hear from Henri and guests as they share real-life experiences of positives born from failure, reflections on the lessons learned from ‘losing it all, and what fuels Henri’s desire to help others overcome personal and business challenges in order to create the lives they want to live. Who is Henri Ghijben? Growing up in Bury St Edmunds, Henri’s first memorable experience of failure left him with the lasting ability to never get lost. It proved to be the first of many times Henri would fail forward. But it wasn’t until he faced losing his home, business and possibly even his family, that he realised the truth. Failure is only negative if you don’t learn from it. Against the odds, Henri has rebuilt from rock bottom. He’s now on a mission to help others avoid making the same mistakes he did, to help those facing failure see that there is a way back and that by failing forward they can enjoy success again. Ever thankful for the love and support of his family, the loyalty of his team and the help of business owners who helped him when the chips were down, Henri now lives in Southampton where he runs HRG Tree Surgeons, has growing property management and investment businesses and runs mentoring programmes for business owners, entrepreneurs and directors who are on their own growth journeys.
