    Description

    Welcome to the Fail Forward podcast. In this episode I’m talking about addiction.    It’s something close to my heart, and something I don’t shy away from talking about “in real life” but have never really spoken about on the podcast.    Yet it’s an important topic that can affect anyone.    Addictions come in many different forms - exercise, alcohol, food, sex, dieting, drugs - legal and not - the list goes on.    Whatever the addiction is, they stem from the common fact that something in your life is not serving you in a positive way.    For me, drugs were my addiction. As a young person I enjoyed going out, partying and having a great time. Until it stopped being fun.    In this episode I talk about what it’s taken me to get (and stay) clean, how my friends and family have been affected, and how I check-in with my resilience from time to time.   Addictions don’t happen overnight. And they can’t be tackled overnight either.    I invite you to have a listen to my story and, if you’d like to reach out, 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.
