In continuation of sharing incredibly motivational and uplifting stories of redemption, Tim Wenzel and Lee Oughton sit down with Andy Bishop of ManGang to hear his inspiring story.
As a man who was in the military for 22 years of his life, an avid rugby player, and a go-getter, Andy is the spitting image of a UK “man”. Having to sustain this image, Andy had to put aside his internal struggle with severe depression; something that almost led to him ending his life.
After enduring the loss of a close friend who took his own life, and feeling how heavy a loss it was, Andy turned his perception on life around to find strength, happiness, and the drive to found ManGang.
