The Dark Truth About My Father and the Debt That Almost Killed Me

Simon Morrell — 8th Dan black belt, author, martial arts instructor and motivational speaker — sits down with Princely Samuel Okere for a deeply personal conversation.

Bullied as a child and living with panic attacks and agoraphobia, Simon grew up believing he wasn't good enough. He talks about his difficult relationship with his father, borrowing £500,000 to help him and later facing frightening threats over the debt, his struggles with alcohol and recovery, and the support of Julie, his wife of decades.

From finding confidence through martial arts to writing From Bullied to Black Belt and An Everyday Warrior, his journey is about far more than learning how to fight.
