    The true power of saying YES - how 100 conversations have changed my life forever

    For this special milestone episode 100 of Project Possible, I look back on a year of throwing myself at the podcast, and the impact these conversations have had on my life, my outlook and my hope to be of service to others. I talk about why building and selling a business didn’t leave me feeling fulfilled, learning to enjoy life again after losing my brother Jordan to suicide, fatherhood, health, money, and what success means to me as I turn 39. I get into finding my own lane in a sea of podcasts - and recognising that asking life's bigger questions and having ambition doesn't stop just because you have responsibilities. I also share some of the friendships and opportunities that have come from just saying yes, and my pride in joining the advisory panel of Dr Susie Bennett’s new charity, Action on Male Suicide.

    "I Learned to Cook My Daughter’s Favourite Meals Blindfolded Before Going Blind" - CanSeeCantSee's Claire Sisk

    Claire Sisk is a content creator, disability and accessibility advocate. You might recognise her as ITV’s This Morning's first blind chef. She's built a large and loyal following online as Can See Can’t See, showing people how she accomplishes daily tasks others might take for granted, having lost her sight at the age of 37. I sat down with Claire to talk about having two strokes at 29, being told she would be blind by 40, and learning to cook her daughter’s favourite meals blindfolded while she could still see. We talk about motherhood, feeling like a burden, accepting help and her bid to find a new career after more than 250 unsuccessful job applications. She talks about how she believes ticking the disability box meant an instant no - and gives a shocking example. We also get into her love of boy bands, making concerts more accessible, and the three choices she gives herself on difficult days: give in, give up or give it your all.

    The Mindset Coach: Can Losing Control Be the Thing That Sets You Free?

    Loz Antonenko is a mindset coach, dubbed The Mojo Mentor, entrepreneur and author of Get the F*** Unstuck. After losing her first husband to suicide, Loz began questioning a life built around achievement and other people’s approval. In 2024, she sold the business she’d run for 17 years, describing it as “the safety net that strangled me”. We talk about grief, family estrangement, losing friendships, chronic illness, the pressure to look successful, and whether losing control can be the thing that sets you free. There’s also ADHD, 13 bodybuilding shows in 14 months, the problem with self-help gurus, finding love again, and a childhood video that helped her recognise herself after years of trying to be someone else. Content note: This episode includes discussion of suicide, bereavement and family violence.

    From Sleeping in a Car Boot to Lending £1 Million - confessions of a Posh Pawn star

    James Constantinou is the founder of Prestige Pawnbrokers and star of Channel 4’s Posh Pawn. Expelled from school at 15 and told he’d never amount to anything, he spent nights sleeping in a car boot. Years later, he was lending £1 million against a collection of art and artefacts. We talk about building businesses, taking risks, spotting a con, the fear of being poor again, raising children with money, and why some of his happiest memories come from when he had nothing. There’s also the story behind Posh Pawn, Queen Victoria’s knickers, an offer involving Nigerian fighter jets, and why he’d put Lord Sugar in Downing Street.

    Fertility Expert: “I Was Given a 0.7% Chance of Having a Baby - Then I Got Pregnant Naturally at 44!”

    Liberty Mills has lived about five different lives. She was an international model, a young single mum, a woman so badly affected by lupus that she needed a Zimmer frame, a health coach and author who rebuilt her life, and then, at 44, a woman who became pregnant naturally after being given around a 0.7% chance of conceiving with her own eggs. She talks about the darker side of the modelling industry, including being weighed and measured before being paid, having money docked if her measurements changed, and being made to walk around in her underwear as punishment. She talks about becoming seriously ill, losing her hair, her independence and much of the identity she had built around being healthy and successful, and the moment her daughter asked: “When you die, how will I pay the mortgage?” We also get into fertility, miscarriage, IVF, stress, relationships, male fertility, and what it does to a couple when having a child starts to feel impossible. And Liberty explains why she refuses to let a diagnosis, statistic or label decide who she is or what happens next. This is a conversation about fertility, but really, it’s about reinvention, agency, and refusing to believe your future has already been written.

    "They called me Dr Barbie. They followed me to work. I proved them all wrong." - Apprentice winner Dr Leah Totton

    Dr Leah Totton is a doctor, entrepreneur and winner of The Apprentice, where Lord Sugar invested £250,000 in her medical aesthetics business when she was just 24 years old. She talks about being dismissed as “Dr Barbie” by the press. She talks about journalists following her to and from work, and how reporters would approach patients and colleagues while she was working in A&E in a bid to get dirt on her. And, crazily, she told me how one tabloid even sent a journalist and her 14-year-old daughter undercover into her clinic in an attempt to catch her offering Botox to the teenager. At its worst, Lord Sugar stepped in and threatened to sue one outlet over its treatment of Leah. We also get into growing up in Northern Ireland during the Troubles, the Omagh bombing that inspired her to become a doctor and the guilt and personal conflict she felt leaving traditional medicine for aesthetics. She talks about building Dr Leah Clinics from scratch, working seven-day weeks, and more recently selling a majority stake in the business in what she calls a “life-changing” deal, and she told me why she believes luck and timing matter as much as hard work. A rare interview with an incredibly impressive entrepreneur who is, by her own admission, extremely private. This is Dr Leah Totton.

    The Life Coach Who Lost His Wife to Cancer, Filmed It All - and Told Me To Forgive Myself - an interview with Pete Cohen

    This week, I’m joined by Pete Cohen. Pete is best known as The People’s Coach, having spent more than a decade as the resident life coach on ITV’s GMTV, with regular appearances on This Morning. For 30 years, he has helped people imagine a better life for themselves. Then life forced him to face the one thing none of us can think our way out of: losing someone we love. After his wife Hannah was diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumour, Pete began filming their life together. Years later, after Hannah’s death, that footage became 'Hannah’s Story', a beautiful, devastating, award-winning documentary about love, hope, grief and what it means to keep going. We talk about who Hannah was, the making of the film, its impact, Pete’s life, his career, his famous clients, success, purpose, peace, and the difference between being there and truly being present. Then, at one stage, Pete does something I’ve never experienced in more than 100 interviews. He turns the interview back on me. It could have been uncomfortable. Instead, it became one of the most powerful conversations I’ve ever recorded.

    An interview with Arthur Morgan! Actor Roger Clark on Red Dead 2, Loss & the Role of a Lifetime

    This week, I’m joined by Roger Clark, the actor behind Arthur Morgan in Red Dead Redemption 2, the third best-selling video game of all time. We talk about his life and career. The years of struggle before his secret audition with Rockstar, losing his mum at 15, creating Arthur over five years, performance capture, and why the character still means so much to people nearly eight years later. This one is personal, too. My last ever time with my brother Jordan was playing Red Dead 2 online, just 36 hours before he took his own life. Afterwards, I disappeared back into that world. There were days and weeks where I was more Arthur Morgan than myself.
