The Life Lessons podcast has a simple mission: to have discussions that reveal something important about life and how best to live it. My guests range from the biggest sporting names on the planet, as well as neuroscientists, world-renowned philosophers, and psychologists – right the way through to former Buddhist monks.

For 8 years I was the lead sports presenter for BBC Radio 1, covering all the biggest sporting events including the football World Cup in Brazil, the London 2012 Olympics and 16 Wimbledon Championships and counting. It was great fun, but in time I increasingly found the fixation with results, tactics and the score to be shallow. After all – sport is a metaphor for life, and I wanted to explore that.

That’s why I launched the ‘Don’t Tell Me The Score’ podcast on the BBC in 2018, since renamed ‘The Life Lessons Podcast’ after I took full ownership of the podcast from the BBC in 2021. While I increasingly venture into broader territories, I never lose touch with my sporting roots. Guests have included Jonny Wilkinson, Dame Kelly Holmes, Jos Buttler, Tony Adams and Ronnie O’Sullivan.

But I also speak to world-renowned thinkers including Daniel Goleman, Sam Harris, Michael Pollan and Rupert Spira. Key themes include the power of acceptance, digital minimalism, how to set your circadian clock – right through to the nature of reality and ‘non-duality’. These conversations, and the bitesize episodes, have the power to change your life.

Thank you for listening.
