    CHRIS APPLETON: Bullies Spat on Me at School. Now I’m Kim Kardashian’s Most Trusted Hair Stylist

    Chris Appleton has built a reputation as one of the world’s most trusted celebrity hair stylists. From Kim Kardashian and JLo to Ariana Grande and Christina Aguilera, he’s worked with some of the biggest names in Hollywood.  It’s a world away from his upbringing in Leicester. As a teenager, Chris was bullied at school for working in a local hairdressers and was labelled before he had even begun to understand his own sexuality.   In our conversation, Chris opens up about the abuse he faced from bullies, coming out in his twenties and the difficult period that followed. He tells me about the moment he realised he'd built a career helping other people feel confident - but had never done the same for himself - and how he’s finally learned to accept and love who he is.  In this episode, Chris shares:  Why he cried after styling JLO’s hair for the SuperbowlBeing spat on and bullied at school for being different  How he’s learned to accept himself and love who he is Why his marriage to Euphoria star Lukas Gage didn’t workThe celebrity he wants to style next  Chris is a powerful reminder that the people who seem to have it all figured out are often the ones who've had to fight the hardest to get there.

    TANYA BURR: Dating After Divorce, the Brit Crew & Why I Quit YouTube

    Tanya Burr rose to fame as one of the UK’s original YouTubers. As part of the Brit Crew, she quickly became one of the most recognisable faces on the platform alongside Zoella, Alfie Deyes and Marcus Butler.  I’ve always been fascinated by creators like Tanya and their ability to captivate millions of people from their bedrooms, so I was really excited to have her on Great Company.  In our conversation, Tanya explains why she started YouTube and how quickly it turned into a career. She reveals how her self-worth became tied to how she was perceived online and why, after a very public break-up, she stepped away from YouTube in 2019 to rebuild her life away from the spotlight.  In this episode, Tanya shares:  Her favourite memories of the Brit CrewLiving with anxiety and how she’s learnt to manage it Why she quit YouTube in 2019 Rebuilding her life after a public break up Dating in her thirties and how she knew her boyfriend Dan was the one  Most people would struggle to walk away from something as successful as Tanya’s YouTube career. But she did. She chose herself and her courage stayed with me long after our conversation ended.  Tanya Burr is Great Company.

    PARIS FURY: Tyson Is the Heavyweight Champion But I’m The Boss

    Paris Fury is an absolute powerhouse of a woman. When At Home With The Furys first hit our screens, 2.6 million people tuned in to watch the first episode. We got a glimpse into life with former Heavyweight Champion, Tyson, and the rest of the Fury family. But for me, it was Paris who really stood out.  As Tyson’s wife of nearly 20 years, Paris has been with him through it all. From his boxing wins and losses to his mental health struggles and addiction - and all of that whilst raising their seven children together.  Paris has always been Tyson’s biggest supporter and the glue that holds the Fury family together.  In this episode, Paris shares:  Why her relationship with Tyson worksWhy the misinformation about Travellers frustrates her How Tyson’s mental health struggles have affected her and why she’ll always be his biggest supporterTeaching her seven children to believe they can achieve anythingHer daughter Venezuela getting engaged at 16 A very special rendition of her go-to karaoke song  I loved every second of my conversation with Paris. She reminded me that you can do anything and be anyone you want to be. You’ve just got to go for it.  Paris Fury is Great Company.  If you enjoyed the show, you can also follow us:  Instagram- @greatcompanypodcast TikTok - @greatcompanypodcast  Jamie - @jamielaing And if you've got thoughts, questions and comments, you can email us at: greatcompany@jampotproductions.co.uk  THE CREDITS Producer: Helen Burke & Jack Claramunt Assistant Producer: Issy Weeks-Hankins Video: Josh Bennett Social Media: Laura Coughlan Audio: Rafi Amsili Geovannetti Executive Producer: Ewan Newbigging-Lister   Great Company is an original podcast from JamPot Hosted on Acast.
