I sit down with Jeremy Lynch to talk about discipline, failure, rejection, consistency, and what it takes to get back up again when you fall down.

Jeremy reflects on being just 20 years old on Britain’s Got Talent, overreaching on the biggest stage of his life, and experiencing a very public failure - and why finishing the performance mattered more than winning.

We talk about his mindset, his work ethic, and his long-term approach to growth.

We get into why motivation is overrated, why systems and focus matter more than feelings, and why most people quit just before things start working.

Jeremy shares how he taught himself skills without formal lessons, why learning by doing has been central to his success, and how consistency compounds over years - not months.

We also talk honestly about money, happiness, fatherhood, impostor syndrome, collaboration over competition, and the pressure creators put on themselves to “make it” quickly.

This is a conversation about doing the work, staying curious, and committing to the long game - even when no one’s watching.

Jeremy has launched a new 'focus-first' supplement brand called HP-1. We talk about the story of creating the company, benefits and more in this conversation. Find out more at: https://hp-1.com

Interviews that might just change your life. And if not…? You’ll probably enjoy them anyway.

While we're all trying to be better versions of ourselves, this podcast asks: 'what's truly possible?'

Project Possible, hosted by me, Rich Leigh, explores this with incredible guests from the world of business, sport, entertainment and academia.

Between the second and third series, I made the decision to go full-time on this show.

I sold my successful 10 year old PR agency after my youngest brother Jordan took his own life. I realised that I needed to run towards passion, purpose and positive impact, and my dream of this being my career.

Possibilists, pull up a pew.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr Luke Kemp, an existential risk researcher at Cambridge University and the author of Goliath's Curse: The History and Future of Societal Collapse.

Luke spends his life thinking about how societies rise, why they fall, and what really puts our future at risk. What surprised me most is how hopeful this conversation turned out to be.

Luke argues that history is best understood as a story of organised crime.

From early civilisations to modern governments, tech giants and today’s global system, he shows how the same patterns keep repeating: power, control and inequality.

Together, we talk about:

- How and why early civilisations formed

- Why data might be the most dangerous resource we have today - and how AI might impact civilisation

- The modern versions of grain, weapons and geography

- How close the world has come to nuclear disaster - and the people who quietly stopped it

- Whether global collapse is actually likely - and what we can do about it

- Why studying worst-case scenarios can sometimes make you more optimistic, not less

This is a wide-ranging conversation about power, history, human nature and possibility.

If you’ve ever wondered where we’re heading - or how we might build something better - I think you’ll really enjoy this one.

Tweedy the Clown is one of the UK's most beloved performers. He's entertained millions around the world over decades, from village circus big tops to Madison Square Garden.

I was lucky enough to have a couple of hours with him, recording in what I later found out to be the late, great Nell Giffords' caravan - Nell co-founded Giffords Circus in 2000.

In this funny and surprisingly philosophical conversation, Tweedy takes us from being a tiny teenager who worried he might only be funny because of his size to perhaps the most famous working clown in the country.

We talk about the art of clowning, the day his hair caught fire on stage - and how that shaped his signature look, how the media made monsters of clowns, how chaos becomes craft, and why the best clowns are really just adults who refuse to let go of their childlike wonder.

This is a joyful deep-dive into creativity, resilience, silliness, and the beautiful craft of making people laugh.

I bet you've never met anybody quite like Tweedy before. I know I hadn't, and I'm honoured to have been able to.
