On this week's episode of Life and Lessons, to mark episode 200, we do something a little bit different.
I sat down with my close friend Adam Horton and invited him to switch roles and interview me.
Adam puts your questions to me, on topics including the consistency of this podcast, progress on my book, the behind-the-scenes stories of my time on The Apprentice, dealing with my dad's illness, my Tinder bio and more.
This episode feels really special.
Adam does an amazing job of steering this conversation and getting me to open up, and I feel so fortunate to have got to this huge milestone.
Thank you for being here – here's to another 200!

Oliver Burkeman is a journalist and author of books including The Sunday Times Bestselling 'Four Thousand Weeks' and his latest release, 'Meditations For Mortals'.
No matter how hard you try, you're never going to get everything done. There simply isn't enough time in our finite lives for us to tackle everything we'd like to. Our to-do lists are always going to win the battle. So what can we do about that?
In this conversation, Oliver makes the case that surrendering to reality and being kinder to yourself is the true source of productivity, and offers practical ideas on how you can get more done and feel better in the process.

Rory Sutherland is an author, behavioural scientist, and vice-chairman of Ogilvy.
If you’re anything like me, you could listen to Rory talk for hours. I was lucky enough to speak to Rory for the podcast a couple of years ago, and the scope of our conversation back then was fairly all-encompassing.
This time around, I wanted to get Rory’s insights on how we can use the principles of behavioural science to apply to self-improvement.
But during the conversation, we go into all kinds of interesting rabbit holes and explore some really useful ideas – on everything from self-improvement, the trap of over-optimisation and how to live a more meaningful life, through to the 20mph speed limits in Wales, and the Sainsbury’s in Pontypridd.

It can be tempting to focus your self-improvement efforts on the areas of your life where things are already going well. But this isn't how you bring about meaningful change. In this week's episode of Life and Lessons, I explain why you should focus on the things you suck at first, before trying to hyper-optimise pointless 1% skills.
I also discuss the idea that winners hardly ever realise they're winning, and explain why you need to keep score for yourself.
