Episode 5 is a musical special. Fares tells us what life was like building up to the Chopin Competition, effectively the Olympics of piano that takes place every 5 years. This story covers unbearable pressure, geopolitics, racism, sexuality and tonne of self-reflections after Fares' mistakes and mishaps, but is beautiful and entertaining at every stage - we hope you love listening to it as much as we loved producing it.
Recorded next to the piano, throughout the episode Fares plays Chopin for us, and he composed the *amazing* outro you'll hear at the end of the episode! Here is the playlist;

In episode 4 we speak to Louise Hill. Louise's story of creating global financial services mega-brand GoHenry is simply astonishing, but even better is her candour.
She's here to give us a penny for her thoughts, sharing the unexpected struggles of global expansion, why growth can be so hard, and the moment she realised she was part of a problem. This is a powerful look at how successful founders can turn their bloopers into a blueprint for success you can bank on.
