“Happiness should be thought of as just a million tiny steps of nice things adding up.”

was 35 when she was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. Doctors didn’t expect her to see the year out.

She did. And in the process, she threw out everything she thought she knew about suffering, hope, and how to live.

A conversation about what happens when life stops making sense – and what you’re left with when it does.

Her fifth NYT best seller is just out: Joyful Anyway. I thoroughly recommend giving it a read.

The unstoppable joined me on the podcast a little while ago and shared this moving rock bottom story. Bryony is living proof of what can be achieved through recovery. Journalist, author, presenter, podcaster, mental health campaigner, and marathon runner - there is so much we can all learn from her.

Her new book People Pleaser is out later this month. I for one can’t wait to read it.

If you don’t know - I implore you to look him up. David was Daniel Radcliffe’s personal stunt double - they worked together throughout each movie.

On set of the seventh Harry Potter film a mistake was made that resulted in David, who was just 25 and at the peak of his physical ability and career, getting thrown into a wall neck first at high speed. The stunt they were trying to pull off is now banned in the film industry. But the injuries they left David with were devistating. David’s mindset, his outlook, and his resilience, flawed me.

Almost instantly he was able to find forgiveness and drop any pretext of bitterness. He is a true source of daily inspiration.

He is the subject of an exceptional documentary and a wonderful book. I’d recommend both to anyone no matter your background or situation.

Nick Wheeler OBE started in his university dorm room. He had less than £100 to his name and - as he’s admitted - no idea how to make a shirt.

Almost 40 years later he’s still at it, and he has no plans on giving up.

In today’s world of venture capital and private equity selling parts of the business is often seen as a rite of passage. But as Nick says you’re giving yourself a boss - is that really what you want?

This was a great conversation on resilience in business. I would emplore any founder or entrepreneur to give it a listen. Available on Apple, Spotify and YouTube.

I’ve been interviewing a number of founders on the podcast recently as part of our ongoing business series where we speak to leaders about their journey to the top.

This week I spoke with Nick Wheeler OBE, founder of , who started with just £99 and a Morris Minor with a hole rusted through the floor. In 40 years he’s gone bust - twice. He’s never taken outside investment. Never sold a share. Never chased the exit.

Now he’s running a £400 million business and he still can’t quite explain why he kept going when everyone around him said it was finished.

Right at the start of the conversation Nick told me how he’d lost his mother when he was just five years old. That tragedy forced Nick to be resilient and independent from a young age which he thinks set the framework for so much of what followed.
Often behind every great business is a very human story. This one is worth a listen.

One of my more memorable conversations... I spoke to BBC Foreign Correspondent Fergal Keane on the resilience of those who struggle with mental illness. It’s one of those moments that seemed to resonate universally, at the time literally thousands got in contact to say how much they enjoyed listening to Fergal’s story.

“You’re seeing the image they want you to see.”

In a world of filters, highlight reels, and overnight success stories, it’s easy to feel like you’re falling behind.

But as reminds us — envy is just self-punishment.

There were ego-driven, status-obsessed, attention-seeking people in ancient Rome… just as there are today.

Choose not to compare yourself to them.

“Control the controllables — and let go of the rest” is a lesson I learnt too late in life. It’s a lesson that applies both to business and every day life. In crisis it’s an essential mantra for letting go of what you cannot change. I had a truly inspiring conversation with author of who was kind enough to share his wisdom with me.

I sat down with one of Britain’s leading ADHD experts. What he told me stopped me in my tracks.

was diagnosed with ADHD at 45. Before that: decades of feeling like an outsider, burning out in silence, and building an identity around labels that were never true.

In our conversation we spoke about what ADHD actually is, and why 2.5 million people in the UK are living without a diagnosis, and what to do if any of this sounds familiar…
