Kitesurfing, in Tiree or in slightly warmer waters off Morocco, is the cause of his favourite proclamation of delight  – “yeeeeeeehaaaaaaa!!!!”. Edinburgh Emergency Medicine Music: Bruce Springsteen- Thunder Road What a podcast. Randal is a fantastic example of applying yourself to achieve your goals whatever that may be. It is always a pleasure for me to work with him and speaking to him on the podcast was no exception. We cover a range of topics but the over riding theme is passion. “If there is something that you love in life you will achieve it. You will go out of your way to achieve it” Randal This is true in Brazilian JiuJitsu and it is true in Life.
