    How One Young Man’s Memory Is Saving Men Across the UK | James' Place

    Out of unimaginable loss came a mission to save lives. Claire and Harry from James’ Place share the powerful story of how personal tragedy became a force for hope and change. After losing James, they recognised the desperate need for a safe, welcoming space where men in crisis could find immediate, compassionate support, something James himself never had access to. They speak about breaking the stigma around men’s mental health, the importance of open conversation, and the urgent reality that suicide can touch anyone, no matter their background. Through their pioneering, male-focused approach, James’ Place has already helped thousands of men feel seen, supported, and no longer alone. This is a deeply emotional conversation about love, loss, and turning pain into purpose, a legacy James would be proud of.

    Chris Robshaw: How England’s World Cup Failure Broke Me... & How I Rebuilt Mentally

    Former England rugby captain Chris Robshaw joins Spencer for an honest conversation about resilience, leadership, and life beyond the pitch. Chris reflects on how losing his father at a young age gave him both a drive to succeed and a passion for rugby as a positive outlet. He explains why there are no shortcuts to success, only resilience, consistency, and the support of teammates, and how his leadership evolved from insecurity to trust, delegation, and leading by example. Candid about both triumphs and setbacks, Chris also opens up about the weight of public scrutiny after the 2015 World Cup, the importance of talking openly about mental health, and the culture shift within rugby toward openness and support. He also shares the irreplaceable thrill of representing his country, the challenges of life after retirement, and his optimism for rugby’s future. This is a conversation about overcoming adversity, growing as a leader, and finding purpose on and off the field. Hive 👉 Take control of your home energy - smart, simple, and built for you.
