Explore real stories of purpose, identity and growth in Beyond the Cage’s new webinar series, hosted by Zak Sylvester with leading ambassadors.
Explore real stories of purpose, identity and growth in Beyond the Cage’s new webinar series, hosted by Zak Sylvester with leading ambassadors.
Real stories. Honest reflection. Lessons that last.
This October, Beyond the Cage launches Conversations That Matter, a new webinar series hosted by Zak Sylvester, bringing together ambassadors, world champions, psychologists, and educators for open discussions about purpose, identity, resilience, and growth.
Each month, Zak will be joined by one of our ambassadors for a live conversation exploring a theme that cuts to the heart of what we do at Beyond the Cage, helping men and boys find meaning, confidence, and connection through positive role models.
Why Conversations That Matter
The idea is simple: when people speak honestly about the moments that shaped them, the challenges, the transitions, and the lessons learned along the way, it helps others find perspective in their own journey.
Zak explains:
“The most powerful conversations I’ve ever had have been the real ones, the ones where people are willing to reflect, to be vulnerable, and to share what they’ve learned.
The First Three Conversations
🎙 Life After Sport: Navigating Identity and Purpose Beyond Competition
with Steven Sylvester, Thursday 6th November, 18:00 GMT
What happens when the game ends? Steven Sylvester, Chartered Psychologist and former professional cricketer, joins Zak to explore how athletes, and anyone going through change, can rebuild purpose and belonging beyond performance.
🎬 Life Beyond the Cage: Finding a Greater Purpose
with Shay Walsh, Thursday 20th November, 18:00 GMT
One year after the premiere of A Journey to Greatness, former MMA World Champion Shay Walsh reflects on how injury, reflection, and storytelling helped him discover a greater purpose beyond the cage.
💪 Less Is More: Building Consistency That Lasts
with Robbie Wells, Thursday 13th November, 18:00 GMT
World Champion and Chartered Physiotherapist Robbie Wells shares how joy, patience, and small daily actions can build long-term consistency, and why doing less, more often, creates the biggest change.
More Than a Webinar
For Zak, these aren’t just interviews, they’re opportunities to connect people through story:
“Everyone’s fighting their own version of a cage. It might not be sport, it could be pressure, expectation, or uncertainty.
Join the Conversation
Each webinar will take place live on Microsoft Teams, hosted through LinkedIn Events, with opportunities for Q&A and reflection.
This series marks a new chapter for Beyond the Cage, one that’s all about dialogue, learning, and growth.

Embracing Fear
"We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
