From The Shed
Formerly From Struggle 2 Strength. Same voices. Same honesty. A bigger conversation.
Brought to you by Dave and Mike, two former British Army servicemen whose lives have taken them through trauma, addiction, recovery, resilience and everything in between.
Dave survived the blast of a suicide bomber while serving in Afghanistan and later faced his own battle with gambling addiction. Mike emerged from the grip of drug and alcohol addiction and is now over three and a half years in recovery. Their individual journeys remain at the heart of the podcast, not as polished success stories, but as lived proof that people can rebuild, reconnect and keep going.
After nearly 4,000 downloads as From Struggle 2 Strength, the podcast is entering a new chapter.
From The Shed keeps the raw honesty, humour and openness that listeners connected with, but widens the conversation beyond struggle alone. Each episode brings real talk about life, recovery, relationships, mental health, parenting, identity, everyday frustrations, daft tangents and the strange little moments that make us human.
This is not a podcast pretending to have all the answers.
It is two mates pulling up a chair, sticking the kettle on and talking openly about the things people often keep bottled up. Sometimes it is deep. Sometimes it is funny. Sometimes it goes completely off track. But it is always honest.
For the listeners who have been with us from the beginning, we are still here. Still talking. Still rising. We have just moved into the shed.
Pull up a chair. Say what’s on your mind. Welcome to From The Shed.

The James Greenop Foundation
On the 22nd October 2013 we lost our son James in a tragic road traffic accident at the tender age of 10. It was decided very early that rather than people sending flowers we wanted them to donate to a cause that was close to our hearts and in turn at least something positive may come out of such a tragic accident. Once this was decided there followed a spontaneous collective outpouring of kindness and generosity in which people from all over the world sent in donations and in just over 3 weeks we raised £11,000 for the Wirral Autistic Society. Now the Rainbow Resource Centre has a room dedicated to our boy called James’ Den. This is a family sensory room which people and families with autism are able to access as part of the already amazing support that is given by Wirral Autistic Society and Autism Together. This is one of the many projects that we continue to support and hope that by establishing our Foundation we hope to continue helping others in a spirit befitting the memory of James. Despite his brief time with us, James’ small feet have left a deep impression and everyone who knew him testifies to the joy, laughter, and love he radiated. James was above all generous and caring. By giving to others, just as he always did, the Foundation will ensure that James will have as much impact in death as he did in life.
Thank you for your support James’ family and friends.
