  • Reviving an icon - with Sarah Willingham

    Reviving an icon - with Sarah Willingham
    Apr 11 2025

    Straight-talking, inspiring entrepreneur Sarah Willingham tells us about being a curious child, but when her Dad wouldn’t let her have a gap year, she set off to pursue her love of food and international travel in business. After learning the ropes at Pizza Express, she realised she wanted a large family and that she’d have to create her own career to make her life work with small children. She says she loves chaos and having four children in four years has meant she’s had to accept that having it all has to be a giant compromise. After recording Dragon’s Den she took off around the world with her kids and Michael her husband for three years and found clarity once the adrenalin had left her system. She says her life hack is to get back to nature and she walks to empty her mind.Now settled in Brighton, she runs Nightcap, a big hospitality business, with Michael, but when the opportunity came just before Christmas to buy the i360, she stepped in at the last moment and bought the iconic landmark, saving it from being dismantled. Sarah is passionate about regenerating the i360, particularly the building beneath the tower and she’s buzzing with plans. Fresh from the amazing Brighton marathon weekend, Sarah says the middle of the prom deserves to be activated and we couldn’t agree more. Whilst she’d be happy living in a caravan herself and not being at all materialistic, Sarah shows us a special ring that reminds her of her soul mate, Richard, and a romantic small red book she made for Michael.

    Keep on going, girls - with Valentina Harris
    Apr 4 2025

    Chef, broadcaster, food judge, teacher and prolific writer with 56 cookbooks to her name, Valentina Harris joins us for a mouth-watering chat about her extraordinary life and career. Full of wit and wisdom, Valentina shares her love of regional Italian food, the importance of not serving an Italian an incorrect dish and her fury at the current trend of frying gnocchi. Called the ‘Queen of Risotto’, she shares her secrets of Italy’s iconic rice dish, as well as answering many other foody questions, although her experience with roasted stuffed horse penis was somewhat hair-raising! Her special keepsakes include her first award for cookery writing, her grandmother’s jade balls used for hand exercises, a note from Stanley Tucci with his recommendation of a recipe for the spectacular ‘Timpano’ dish as well as her mother’s unusual silver bangle. We were ready to pack our bags for Italy straight after our chat. Fortunately, Valentina runs cookery courses closer to home in the old kitchen at Parham House.

  • Carpe Diem - with Georgie Harris

    Carpe Diem - with Georgie Harris
    Mar 28 2025
    With Mothering Sunday upon us, we’re talking about our mums today. We’re joined entrepreneur and mum of two, Georgie Harris who describes how she had a fantastic job at Burberry, but then her world changed when her son was born with a rare genetic condition, Russell Silver Syndrome which affects growth. After a harrowing pregnancy and birth, Georgie then discovered herself navigating the SEN system and becoming a primary carer, negotiating support for her child’s complex needs. After her second son was born in 2023, she started looking for jobs, but couldn’t find one, let alone one that could fit in with her life. Then, at a kids birthday party, she met Bex who suggested a skills swap and Mums Who Build was born. With a non-mumsy vibe, Georgie and Bex’s networking organisation has the aim of closing the wealth gap and reducing the impact of the motherhood penalty. The MOB (for short) helps Mums at all stages develop skills and confidence through workshops, events and meet-ups based on the three pillars of wellbeing, connections and financial education. With new found sense of purpose and having been on a healing journey through the connections she’s made at The Mob, Georgie says her ambition is to have Mums Who Build around the country. She says she wears her jewellery the whole time, including some personal bangles from her family and shows us her inspirational late grandmother’s engagement ring, who she describes as the glue of the family. She also shows us a dainty gold child protection charm from her husband’s Kurdish heritage. If anything has seen her through, Georgie says it’s not overthinking things and seizing the day.

    The Journey Is The Destination with Nick Pulley
    Mar 21 2025
    All aboard for this week’s guest, Nick Pulley founder and CEO of Selective Asia a tailor-made travel business specialising in responsible, focussed travel from India to Japan. A born adventurer, Nick fell in love with Thailand and South East Asia on his year abroad after school when traveling around the world. After an injury thwarted his dreams of being a rugby player, he pivoted and was at the forefront of internet travel. He’s passionate about sustainable travel and how it’s so much more than just the carbon and flight problem. A lover of logistics, he’s a natural at planning and recently embarked on an epic train two-month journey from Brighton Pavilion to The Taj Mahal. He tells us about his astonishing and emotional trip, including his eye-opening train journey across Iran and a blessing from the Dalai Lama. Nick has brought back all sorts of souvenirs from his travels, but brings his two most precious keepsakes - some gorgeously tactile chopstick holders from Japan and a beautiful hand-made paper book from his girlfriend, Sarah depicting their first year together. Nick says he loves the early morning, but having fun in work and life is the key to happiness. https://www.selectiveasia.com https://www.selectiveasia.com/blog
