  • Shocking

    Absolutely horrendous and heinous this man is given a platform. Having watched The Hack on ITV I didn’t realise how vile Coulson’s actions were.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

NICK WHEELER'S CRISIS COMPASS: 4 tools for navigating crisis
Q: What is the greatest piece of advice that you've ever received?
Not to stress about things you can't change and to focus on what you can influence, because energy is wasted on the unchangeable, while taking action on controllable factors leads to progress.
Dame Jenni Murray (1950 – 2026)
Q: What helped you cope with your weight-related crisis and the long journey to surgery and recovery?
She emphasizes a pragmatic, instinctive approach rather than a combative battle; accepting help, maintaining routines, and using small, tangible actions (like pursuing a medical pathway and private funding when needed) to move forward.
Dame Jenni Murray (1950 – 2026)
Q: How did you get through the day you learned you had cancer and your mother had just passed away?
Jenni describes going into practical mode, making an immediate plan for treatment and family logistics, while also drawing on a deep reservoir of resilience learned from childhood—focusing on what could be controlled and leaning on loved ones for support.
RYAN HOLIDAY'S CRISIS COMPASS: 4 tools of a stoic philosopher
Q: What is the first piece of advice you'd pass on if you had to pick just one?
The recommended approach is to remember Epictetus's lesson that it's our opinion about events, not the events themselves, that upsets us, because our interpretations are within our control.
MTV CO-FOUNDER: building a $7bn Media Empire with ZERO experience in TV | Tom Freston
Q: How did you navigate the early financial stresses of launching MTV and keeping the project alive?
We faced money shortages, but we leaned into bold marketing moves like the I Want My MTV campaign, leveraged star power, and kept a tight focus on the consumer, which helped us push through the tough times until distribution and sponsorship began to align.
