    Inside The Highest Stakes: Chloe Fox on Playing Celeste and Rising Fast

    Host Izzy interviews actress Chloe Fox about her lead role as Celeste in Paramount’s thriller The Highest Stakes, her audition experience, and how she connected to the character. Chloe discusses her love of psychological thrillers and comedy, her training at Emile Dale Academy, and her early break through commercials and Find Me in Paris. Fox shares her initial experience with the script, having received only one or two scenes without context. This lack of background led her to interpret Celeste's character in a more sinister light at first, realizing later that the character took on a different essence as she became more familiar with the storyline.  When asked what initially drew her to the project, Fox highlights her affinity for psychological thrillers, noting the initial confusion and intrigue of the scene she auditioned with. This element of uncertainty in storytelling was appealing to her. Additionally, her personal interactions during the auditions—with the producer Stephen Paul and fellow cast member Eloise—left her with a favorable impression of the project's collaborative environment. After securing the role, Fox finally had the chance to read the complete script, enhancing her connection to the storyline and her character.

    Dyslexia, Drive & Entrepreneurship: Theo Paphitis on Turning a 'Disability' into a Superpower

    Welcome back to the Spotlight series' Student Page. Host Izzy interviews Theo Paphitis, a renowned entrepreneur known for his appearances on Dragon's Den and his retail group that includes brands like Ryman and Boux Avenue. The conversation delves into Theo's entrepreneurial journey, notably influenced by his experience with dyslexia. He explains that dyslexic individuals often become entrepreneurs because traditional employment opportunities are limited for them, forcing them to create their own paths. Theo highlights that dyslexia comes in various forms, but those affected possess unique problem-solving skills and creativity that align well with entrepreneurship. He shares a personal anecdote about his own academic experiences, describing how his school's approach led him to pursue business out of necessity rather than choice. The discussion shifts to financial literacy and economics, where Theo asserts that understanding finance is primarily about common sense, a trait often enriched in dyslexics due to the need to navigate challenges differently. He explains how he founded a supportive small-business network (SBS), the value of micro-networks for lonely founders. He urges that finance is manageable with the right guidance and resources, suggesting that the wealth of information available today—especially through platforms like YouTube and various AI models—facilitates learning. The key to mastering financial concepts, according to Theo, is maintaining an inquisitive mindset and actively seeking knowledge about financial management, such as understanding accounts and cash flow. In conclusion, he emphasizes the importance of curiosity and the abundance of accessible information in today’s technological landscape.
