Christian Horner: Red Bull Betrayal, Geri’s WARNING & Unfinished Business in F1 (E443)

Former Red Bull Racing team principal and one of Formula 1’s most recognisable figures, Christian Horner spent 23 years building a life around winning. So when he lost the job he had done for two decades, his first feeling wasn’t anger. It was relief. Christian opens up about the pressure of leading Red Bull through its most successful era, the emotional armour he built to protect his team, and the toll of always being the person who couldn’t show weakness, from the intensity of Abu Dhabi 2021 to the politics that eventually changed how he felt about the sport he loved. But when the “Batman suit” finally came off, Christian had to confront a question he’d spent decades avoiding: who are you when the job that defined you disappears? What he found was a life beyond the pit wall, and a reminder that being on this earth isn’t a dress rehearsal. DRIVE by Christian Horner will be published on 22nd October by Bantam: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1911754785 Christian will be sharing stories from the book on tour across the UK (Nottingham Mon 19th, Bath 20th, London 26th October).

Why You Can't Stop Comparing Yourself

Dina Asher-Smith, Alex Albon, Nick Cox, Richard Osman and Phil Heath help Jake and Damian take on the struggle we hear about from you more than almost any other: comparing your real life to everyone else's highlight reel. Even the people at the very top aren't immune. Dina explains why she deliberately avoids watching what her rivals do in training. Alex Albon opens up on how measuring himself against Max Verstappen at Red Bull pushed him to force it, and how that unravelled his confidence. Nick Cox, former head of the Manchester United academy, explains why comparison "cripples parents", and Richard Osman reminds us we judge other people's highlights against our own blooper reel. Marcus Wareing and Jameela Jamil also feature. Jake admits that professionally he compares himself everywhere he looks, and argues that envy can be a useful energy source. Damian isn't so sure, and shares the school-fair penalty shootout that turned him into prime Peter Schmeichel. Along the way they get into why silver medallists tend to be less happy than bronze medallists, why we underestimate how much other people are struggling, and why it's what's on your screen, not how long you look at it, that does the damage. They finish with practical ways to curate your feed, your inner circle and your environment, because knowing you shouldn't compare yourself doesn't make it any easier to stop. If comparison is something you wrestle with, tell us what helps you. Your comment might be exactly what someone else needs to hear.

Emily Jane Fairs on Marathon Underfuelling Risks & Running Mentality

Eating more helped Emily Fairs become a better runner. Going from never seeing herself as a runner to completing marathons and 100km ultras in just two years, she discovered that better fueling could mean more energy, faster sessions and stronger recovery. Emily shares how running transformed her relationship with food after years of restriction and bingeing, and why learning to fuel properly became just as important as the training itself. From eating more to believing in herself, Emily explains how giving your body what it needs can change both how you run and what you believe you're capable of.

18 Holes With Tom Grennan: Sobriety, Fatherhood And Starting Again

Singer-songwriter Tom Grennan spent years believing alcohol and drugs were part of what made him who he was. Walking away from them meant facing a bigger question: who was he without them? Tom shares the moment he knew he had to change, the work it took to forgive himself, and how becoming a dad gave him a new perspective on the life he wanted to build. Rather than losing his personality, he found himself feeling more alive, more present, and more connected to the people he loves. He also talks about finding an unexpected outlet in golf, where time with mates has brought release, connection and some of life’s most important conversations. For Tom, recovery has become about more than leaving the past behind. It’s about discovering what makes life worth showing up for. Tom's new single ‘Wrapped In Gold' is out now Need Support?

TOP RATED | Andy Wilman: Top Gear Boss On Show's Meteoric Rise, BBC Exit & Clarkson Sacking (E382)

Andy Wilman is the legendary executive producer behind Top Gear and The Grand Tour, the creative force who helped turn a small, ageing motoring show into one of the most-watched programmes on the planet. In this revealing conversation, Andy sits down with Jake to open up about the chaotic, brilliant, and often bruising journey behind the scenes. From the early days when Top Gear was “held together by accidents,” to the lightning-in-a-bottle chemistry that formed between Clarkson, Hammond and May, Andy explains how a mix of creative instinct, insecurity, and outright stubbornness shaped the show’s rise. He also discusses the strange alchemy behind iconic ideas like The Stig, the happy mistakes that became formats, and the moments where the team’s success began to run away from them. Andy reflects on the personal cost of building a global juggernaut: the burnout, the pressure of chasing ever-bigger audience numbers, the fear of being “found out,” and the toll it took on his home life and mental health.. This episode goes far beyond cars. It’s a conversation about leadership, the dangers of unchecked momentum, the creative magic that comes from imperfection, and the deeper human truth Andy only recognised with hindsight: that success means nothing if you never stop long enough to enjoy it.

Your Running Form Is Slowing You Down | Bronson Hearn-Smith

Want to run faster? The secret might not be running further or training harder, but learning to move differently. At just 16 years old, Bronson Hearn-Smith is already one of Britain’s most exciting young sprinting talents. A European U18 200m champion, record-breaking sprinter and viral sensation, Bronson has captured millions of views with his effortlessly smooth running style, and his remarkable rise has even seen him sign with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Talent Agency. But what makes him so fast, and what can runners of any distance learn from him? In this episode, Bronson shares the training principles behind his explosive speed, from plyometrics and strength work to simple drills and running mechanics that help him generate more power, move efficiently and make running fast look effortless. He also reveals why recovery, knowing when to ease off and training smarter rather than harder are just as important as the sessions themselves. Whether you’re chasing a faster 5K, a marathon PB or simply want to become a stronger, more confident runner, Bronson’s approach to speed could change the way you train.

The Permission You're Waiting For Doesn't Exist

Most of us are waiting for someone to tell us we're ready. This week, Jake and Damian argue that moment never comes, and that the people we admire most simply stopped waiting. You'll hear from George Russell on the email to Toto Wolff that started his Mercedes journey, Robin Sharma on why it pays to be "a bit of a pirate", Alain de Botton on why the world is built by humans, not gods, and Adam Grant on the feedback that nearly made him quit public speaking. Francis Ngannou, Shane Parrish and Tom Kerridge unpack what it really means to take full ownership of your life, and Holly Tucker explains why there's never a perfect time to start. Along the way, Damian brings in the research on self-efficacy, why we underestimate how willing people are to help us, and why amateurs wait for inspiration while professionals just get on with it. Then Dame Amanda Blanc complicates everything: sometimes, all it takes is someone else believing in you first.
