  Touker Suleyman: I Lost Everything! How I Rebuilt My Fortune, Bought A Brand For £1 & Why I’m Leaving Dragons’ Den

  Sep 30, 20261h 12mS1

  Touker Suleyman is one of Britain’s best known entrepreneurs and investors, with more than 50 years of experience building, buying and transforming businesses. But long before millions knew him from Dragons’ Den , Touker lost everything. In his twenties, he was already chairman of two public companies, driving an Aston Martin and enjoying extraordinary early financial success. Then one disastrous investment triggered a domino effect. His businesses collapsed. He lost his home. And he had to start again. In this conversation, Touker explains: ◼ Why early success can be dangerous, and the mistake that taught him the importance of due diligence ◼ How he rebuilt after losing everything and eventually created businesses employing thousands of people ◼ How he bought Hawes & Curtis for just £1, took on its debts and rebuilt the brand to be worth millions ◼ The negotiation principles he has used across more than 50 years in business ◼ Why entrepreneurs often ask for investment when what they actually need is better cash flow ◼ Why you do not need a completely original idea to build a successful company Touker also explains why, after 10 years, he has decided to leave Dragons’ Den and what he wants the next chapter of his life to look like. At 73, he is still launching companies, still chasing new challenges and still asking himself how far an idea can go. His definition of success has changed too. It is not simply about money. It is about freedom, reputation, purpose, happiness and leaving something behind. And after everything he has experienced, his advice remains remarkably simple: Be honest. Work hard. Never give up.

  Metabolic Health Expert: Why You Feel Tired, Bloated & Stressed! How To Reset Your Energy, Sleep, Gut & Metabolism Without Extreme Diets | Rose Ferguson

  Sep 23, 20261h 32mS1

  Rose Ferguson is one of the UK’s leading functional medicine practitioners and has spent nearly two decades helping people understand why they can be doing everything they think is “healthy” and still feel tired, bloated, foggy or stressed. Her message is surprisingly reassuring: Health does not need to become another full time job. In a world of supplements, glucose monitors, extreme fasting, restrictive diets, protein targets and endless wellness hacks, Rose believes many of us have forgotten the foundations that actually determine how we feel. She explains: ◼ Why chronic stress can affect your energy, digestion, sleep and inflammation, and the simple ways she reduces it ◼ Why she recommends starting with a 12 hour overnight eating break rather than jumping into extreme fasting ◼ How to build meals around protein, fibre and healthy fats without obsessively counting everything ◼ What she really thinks about sugar, fruit, alcohol, keto, supplements and protein powders ◼ The simple daily habits she uses for better energy, including daylight, movement, breathwork, journaling and short walks Rose also challenges the idea that getting older automatically means feeling worse. After a career in modelling and years spent working with patients, she says that at 51 she feels better than she ever has. Her final lesson is simple: You do not need to transform your entire life overnight. Small things make big changes.

  World Leading Life Coach: 3 Steps To Build The Life You Actually Want! Find Your Purpose, Protect Your Energy & Stop Waiting To Feel Ready | Simon Alexander Ong

  Sep 16, 20261h 18mS1

  Simon Alexander Ong is a globally recognised personal development coach, international speaker and bestselling author who helps people rethink success, protect their energy and build lives that actually feel worth living. But before speaking on the biggest stages around the world, Simon spent years working in finance, following the version of success he thought he was supposed to want. Good university. Good career. Good salary. Yet he would sit at work dreaming about escaping his own life. Eventually, he realised that success on paper means very little if you feel disconnected from the person living it. In this episode, Simon explains: ◼ How to recognise when discomfort has become genuine misalignment, and what to do next ◼ His SIN framework for changing your future through Skills, Inputs and Network ◼ How to stop letting fear, other people’s opinions and even your family determine your decisions ◼ The four forms of energy you need to protect: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual ◼ Why your partner, friendships and environment can dramatically influence the person you become But this conversation becomes much deeper. Simon lost his mother unexpectedly when he was only 17. Her death changed the way he understood time and left him with two words that have shaped his life ever since: Don’t wait. Don’t wait until you feel ready. Don’t wait for somebody else’s permission. And don’t spend your life becoming successful according to somebody else’s definition. Because, as Simon explains, ready is not a feeling. It is a decision.

  Leading Cardiologist: Why Healthy People Still Get Heart Disease! The Truth About Stress, Exercise, Cholesterol, Diet & How To Protect Your Heart | Dr Aseem Malhotra

  Sep 9, 20261h 21mS1

  Dr Aseem Malhotra is a world-leading consultant cardiologist, practicing doctor and one of the most outspoken voices challenging conventional thinking around heart disease, nutrition and modern medicine. After 25 years in medicine and treating thousands of patients, Aseem reveals why you can look incredibly fit and still have serious heart disease, why chronic stress may be far more dangerous than most of us realise, and why more exercise is not always better for your health. His connection to the heart is also deeply personal. When Aseem was 11, his 13 year old brother died suddenly from viral myocarditis, an experience that helped shape his decision to dedicate his career to understanding heart disease. He explains: ◼ Why chronic stress could be one of the biggest overlooked threats to your heart ◼ Why having a six pack does not necessarily mean you are healthy ◼ How much exercise he believes we actually need, and when it can become too much ◼ What he recommends eating for better heart and metabolic health ◼ Why he challenges conventional thinking around cholesterol, statins and blood pressure medication But this conversation goes far beyond cardiology. Aseem opens up about grief, losing the people closest to him, living with enormous professional pressure, loneliness, relationships and the personal cost of dedicating his life to a mission bigger than himself. And after decades spent thinking about human health, his conclusion is surprisingly simple: Our health is not only determined by what we eat or how much we exercise. It is also shaped by stress, meaning, connection, curiosity and the people we love.

  Insulin Expert: Bread, Rice, Fruit, Potatoes - The Foods Spiking Your Blood Sugar Without You Knowing | Dr David Unwin

  Sep 2, 20261h 52mS1

  Insulin Expert Dr David Unwin has helped 159 patients achieve drug free Type 2 diabetes remission in his NHS practice. He reveals why everyday foods like bread, rice, potatoes and even fruit can spike your blood sugar, why you may be hungry again shortly after eating, and the warning signs that could mean you are becoming insulin resistant. Dr David Unwin is an NHS GP who has cared for the same community for almost 40 years. He has published around 30 peer reviewed papers, and his famous teaspoon of sugar equivalents have been translated into 39 languages. But remarkably, David says much of what transformed his approach to health only became clear to him at 55, after he developed Type 2 diabetes himself. He explains: ◼ Why you could be eating sugar all day without realising it ◼ The everyday signs that may suggest you are becoming insulin resistant ◼ Why bread, rice, potatoes, fruit and other foods can affect your blood sugar more than you think ◼ Why you are still hungry after eating, and how insulin can make losing belly fat harder ◼ What actually works for improving metabolic health, including low carbohydrate eating, fasting, exercise and continuous glucose monitoring And in an unexpectedly personal part of the conversation, David opens up about losing his first wife, reaching some of the darkest moments of his own life, and the lessons about love, failure, hope and resilience that ultimately helped him survive. This is not simply a conversation about diabetes. It is about understanding what is happening inside your body before it becomes a problem, and learning how small changes today could completely alter your future health.
