  • What It's Like... to be Rimi Thapar
    2022/06/20

    On today’s episode, I’m sitting down with founder of plant-based chocolate brand, Love Raw. Growing up with two entrepreneurial parents, this week’s guest had no idea how much of an impact her family's businesses would have on her adult life. Taking a detour into the world of finance first, it wasn’t too long before her inner entrepreneur bubbled to the surface and she took a leap of faith into the world of health foods. Setting up shop in her in-laws' garage, she never would’ve expected Whole Foods to be the company that took a chance on her, but an initial order of 500 cases, an appearance on Dragons Den and multiple supermarket shelves later - it’s safe to say this was a risk that massively paid off! To tell her story in her own words, here’s what it’s like to be Rimi Thapar.

  • What It's Like... to be Nathan Quinn-O’Rawe
    2022/04/24

    On today's episode, I’m chatting with the actor playing Mick in BBC Three’s upcoming comedy-drama My Left Nut. Taking classes at the local drama school in Belfast, this week’s guest never anticipated a starring role in an on-screen show. Deciding to leave acting behind him to focus on school studies, it was a random email he got whilst on holiday with his friends, that decided a new fate for him. Catching a flight home to audition, it wasn’t long before he was thrown into intensive filming and well, he can tell you what happened next. Sharing how he navigated a script set around a personal life story and the topic of men’s health, here’s what it’s like to be Nathan Quinn-O’Rawe.

    My Left Nut will be airing on BBC Three tomorrow, Monday 25th April. The series will run over three episodes released weekly and you can catch up on iPlayer for anything you've missed.

  • What It's Like... to be Sukki Menon
    2022/04/04

    On today’s episode, I’m sitting down with women’s rights activist and Singapore’s first ever burlesque performer. Coming from a very conservative, traditional family, growing up this week’s guest stifled her creativity and expression to please her family - but always knew there’d come a point she needed to let it be free. When it came to career choices, she first followed a more conventional path on entering the world of IT. Starting her first job in the UK, she spotted a burlesque club down the street from her office and everything changed. From her first solo show to performing on some of the biggest stages in the world and changing legislation in her home country, she has quite the story to tell. Here’s what it’s like to be Sukki Menon, otherwise known as Sukki Singapora.

  • What It's Like... to be Lara Cullen
    2021/11/02

    On today’s episode, I’m joined by executive coach, leadership development consultant and founder of The People Person. From an early age, this week’s guest was never afraid to rock the boat if it meant she was able to chase after what she really wanted. Driven and ambitious, she followed wherever life took her and ended up rising to the top of the corporate ladder before realising she was deeply unsatisfied. Taking a step back to evaluate things, she found herself being drawn to a new calling - and that’s how The People Person came to fruition. Now, an author and successfully transforming peoples' lives on a daily basis, she’s sharing her words of wisdom and secrets to finding true self-belief. Here’s what it's like to be Lara Cullen.

  • What It's Like... to be Max Fosh
    2021/09/28

    On today’s episode, I’m chatting with a Youtuber and comedian, about to hit the road on tour. From as early as 11 years old, this week’s guest loved to make people laugh. Whether it was his mother on the way to school or a sold out venue, he always had a knack for entertaining and little did he know, would soon make a career out of doing just that. During his time at university, he decided to pursue his then dream of broadcasting and started a Youtube channel to get some video work under his belt. Setting up outside nightclubs, he began interviewing drunk students and StreetSmart was born. From then on, hard work and a chance encounter set the ball rolling. Filling in the gaps and sharing his insights into longevity online, why Youtube is the smart move and his upcoming Zocial Butterfly tour, here’s what it’s like to be Max Fosh.

  • What It's Like... to be Ash Jones
    2021/09/14

    On today’s episode, I’m joined by founder and CEO of Great Influence - the UK’s leading personal branding agency. The expert that’s building some of the internet’s favourite entrepreneurs, it all started for this week’s guest when he met a guy named Steven Bartlett. Joining the team at Steven’s first start-up, Wallpark, it wasn’t until they began cultivating what would become the world-renowned digital marketing agency, Social Chain, that he began to notice a shift in the way things were being promoted. Realising people would more readily buy into people, rather than a whole load of adverts and campaigns, he started honing in on the art of building public profiles. After seeing massive success with Steven, he decided it was time to try make it on his own. Taking what he'd learnt so far, he set up Great Influence. Handling the personal images of Umar Kamani, founder of Pretty Little Thing, Julian Hearn, founder of Huel and Oliver Cookson of MyProtein - to name but a few - he's lifting the veil on the personal branding buzz word that's spreading like wildfire across social media. Here’s what it’s like to be Ash Jones.

  • What It's Like... to be Jay Flynn
    2021/08/24

    On today’s episode, I’m sitting down with founder of Jay’s Virtual Pub Quiz. Doing as it says on the tin, the quiz was a lockdown success story and has since continued connecting people across the world with weekly quizzes online. Keeping the nation entertained, however, was not always this week’s guest’s day job. From acting as a child to ending up living on the streets of London for the guts of 18 months, it’s fair to say life hasn’t always been smooth sailing - but no matter what hit him, he managed to stand firm and weather the storm. Letting me in on everything from breaking a Guinness world record for the biggest quiz with over 180 thousand people, to receiving an MBE from the Queen and how he put his life back together after being homeless, here’s what it's like to be Jay Flynn.

  • What It's Like... to be Elena Perella
    2021/08/04

    On today’s episode, I’m chatting with the founder of Sentidu Life Coaching, a method that specialises in mental focus and emotional mastery. Growing up in a turbulent environment, this week’s guest knows exactly what it means to turn a bad situation on its head. Overcoming eating disorders, a period of domestic abuse and bouts of depression, she decided it was her purpose in life to share her experiences in the hopes of helping others. Giving her tips on how to live life to the fullest, here’s what it’s like to be Elena Perella.

    For more information on Sentidu, visit https://www.sentidu.com/

    A few words from Elena:

    "We live in a troubled world where anxiety, depression, and a lack of happiness are at higher levels than ever before. We need to shift our thinking and our attitude towards life. My mission is to help you become a New Human Being through recognising your limiting conditionings and break through them. Eventually you will master your thoughts and emotions, and live with a sense of fulfilment.

    I am passionate about what I do. I coached myself through a severe depression, eating disorders and domestic violence and my experience has led me on a journey of discovery of how to break out all of these challenges. As a result I created a program to help people experience their own transformation and break free in the areas they feel stuck."
