DONNY J Douglas

From heart-stopping overdose, to sober, to Disciplined ATHLETE.

3 years ago, Donny overdosed after taking 10.5 grams of cocaine in 48 hours, then his heart stopped. He got Defibbed back twice, and the nurse said he shouldn't have survived.

Donny says, “If it wasn't for my beautiful wife Alison Douglas, I wouldn't be here today.” So, he took action and went into recovery.

Now, 3 years later, he’s loving life, happy, and content. Most of all, he’s CLEAN and SOBER.

Donny is here to make a statement. If a little council estate lad can pull his shit around, SO CAN YOU!!!

Anthony Hutton

BIG BROTHER 2005 WINNER, Founder & CEO of the Never Throw In The Towel Project

Never Throw in the Towel is Paul’s inspiring talk on resilience, mental health, and the power of perseverance. Born from his grandmother’s legacy and his own struggles with depression following sudden fame after winning Big Brother, Paul launched the project with one clear message: Keep on Living.

In his talk, Paul shares his personal journey of overcoming adversity while offering practical tools for resilience and suicide awareness. What makes his approach unique is the integration of his barbering craft—he provides haircuts after the talk, creating a relaxed, safe space where men naturally open up. This format has been especially impactful in male-heavy industries like construction and manufacturing, where conversations about mental health are often avoided.

Paul’s story and delivery remind audiences that vulnerability is strength. His mission is simple yet profound: never give up, never stay silent, and above all, never throw in the towel.

Nicola Creen

Nicola has worked with a diverse range of people — from elite athletes and high-performing entrepreneurs to young people searching for self-belief and direction. Her mission is clear: to ignite unshakeable confidence and unlock the limitless potential that exists within everyone.

Through dynamic keynote talks and life-changing programmes, Nicola equips individuals and organisations to break through limitations, rise stronger from challenges, and lead with renewed purpose. Her approach goes beyond inspiration — it creates lasting transformation, empowering people not only to envision a better future but to actively step into it.

MICHAEL LAWSON

Veteran turned international entrepreneur, NLP master practitioner and boxing coach

After completing multiple operational tours in a 10-year British Army Career, Michael moved to Germany under harsh conditions. 

Fast forward a few years, and he was a class A drug addict and on a path to destruction. He found a way out, and he has written an amazing book about his road to recovery and success.

If you're ready or want to break the cycle and be the best version of yourself, then make the first step and attend S2S 2026.

Paul venis

British kickboxer who transformed his life after serving three years in prison.

Paul Venis is a British kickboxer who made his BKFC debut in June 2024, headlining the main event. Known as a knockout artist, he competed in over 30 K1 matches, earning British, European, and World titles before retiring at 31. Beyond fighting, Venis runs a popular YouTube channel where he speaks openly about mental health, addiction, and day-to-day struggles, inspiring thousands with his story.

In 2012, he served three years in prison, but he has since rebuilt his life, using his platform to show others that redemption is possible. Venis has also pursued acting, most notably portraying former gangster Lee Duffy in A New Breed of Criminal. Away from the spotlight, he is a devoted husband and father, calling his wife the “backbone of their little family.” He is also passionate about raising awareness for autism, a cause embraced by many in the BKFC community.

HELEN THOMAS

Helen beat years of severe mental health struggles, and made a full recovery.

Helen is not a public speaker, entrepreneur, or therapist. She is the familiar face in everyday life, the smile behind the bar at the local pub, the friendly checkout assistant, the colleague who seems always cheerful, the friend who lights up a room, or the neighbour walking her dog. To the outside world, Helen looked happy and full of life.

But behind closed doors, her reality was very different. In 2014, she was diagnosed with Complex PTSD and spent years battling severe mental health challenges that touched every part of her life. The smile became a mask hiding deep struggle.

Today, having made a full recovery, Helen shares her journey with honesty and hope. By opening up about her experiences, she shows that trauma can be overcome, and that beyond it lies peace, joy, and true empowerment.

Ben sheriff

Multiple business owner, counsellor, therapist, and motivational coach

Ben Sherriff is a business owner, counsellor, therapist, and motivational coach known for his raw authenticity and powerful life story. After more than 20 years battling alcohol and drug addiction, he turned his life around by retraining as an NLP practitioner and later qualifying as a counsellor through university. Today, he runs Just Breathe Counselling alongside his motivational coaching practice, supporting people to overcome trauma, build resilience, and step forward with purpose.

Driven by passion and service, Ben has taken on extraordinary charity challenges, including busking his way from the UK Midlands to Russia, sleeping rough along the journey to raise awareness. His blend of lived experience, professional expertise, and fearless commitment to helping others makes him a powerful voice of hope. Ben’s story shows that no matter how far someone has fallen, change, growth, and thriving are always possible.

"MICHAEL LANCASTER"

NLP Master Trainer Hypnotherapist, Motivational speaker 
and Head of Discipline Coaching.

I've shared my story to 1000s of people, i've qualified some of the UK's leading NLP practitioners, master practitioners, public speakers and hypnotherapists and had my documentary watched globally.

It's my mission to help ordinary people unlock their full potential through the power of their minds, and I’ve already helped THOUSANDS so far.

"BUT IT WASN'T ALWAYS LIKE THIS"

In my early years, after multiple suicide attempts from a life full of abuse, homelessness, grief and substances, I'd found a route out of it all through the sport of boxing, where I not only thrived but won multiple titles.

But unfortunately, I had one fight that ended with me suffering a stroke, and that meant I could never fight again.

That loss kicked me back down, I felt I had nothing left at all.
I decided it was time to go.

I took one final trip to my hometown, where an old friend of mine told me about a mindset event called “Strength To Succeed”.

I went along with him.

That event changed my life, fixed my mental health, but also introduced me to the world of mindset and coaching.

Here is a clip from the very day my life was transformed.

And the years since have been amazing. I’ve build a 6 figure business, transformed thousands of lives and have now gone full circle and became the HOST of Strength To Succeed 2026!
