Today’s guest is Keith Cummings – plumber by day, skateboard maker and artist by night. Far from suffering the angst of 'not good enough', he is very content in his creativity which he puts down to not putting pressure on it; he extols the virtues of having a job which you can do while your creative ideas are brewing in the background.

He explains why this combination is so powerful for our mental health and how having a creative outlet has also really helped his wife, who is a nurse on the frontline. His creative attitude to life - his adventurousness, openness, gratitude, risk taking, living in the moment - leads to an air of contentment that you can almost feel him exude (even over Zoom).

At 60, he embraces life with the same spirit of adventure and willingness to put himself out of his comfort zone that he always had. He'll inspire you to grow older adventurously and mindfully, complete with tips for first time skateboarders (for those of us whose children keep asking them to try!).
