Today’s conversation is with Ed Latimore. A heavyweight boxer, physics graduate, author, and returning guest to the podcast.

Ed is not your typical fighter. After an 8½-year break from the ring, he returned at the age of 40 to secure a first-round TKO. But the time away wasn’t idle. He earned a degree in physics, taught calculus, got sober, lived in Portugal, coached boxing, and started a family.

His latest book Hard Lessons from the Hurt Business, is a brutally honest reflection on the tough lessons life and boxing have taught him. In this conversation, Ed shares why a difficult childhood gave him the mindset to endure, how men can build identity without toxic status games, and what he’s learning now as a father.

This is a raw, reflective, and powerful conversation about masculinity, hardship, and redemption.

Expect to learn:

• Why Ed believes pain builds perspective and emotional resilience
• The hardest lessons from boxing and how they shaped him
• How Stoicism helped him avoid becoming a victim of his environment
• Why modern masculinity needs to mature and what’s wrong with red pill culture
• How fatherhood has changed Ed’s outlook on legacy and love
• Why you don’t need to suffer like Ed to learn what he did

Today’s conversation is with Lewis Ellis.

Lewis is the founder of Hussel, a disruptive marketing agency known for bold, raw, attention-grabbing campaigns. You may recognise him from The Apprentice in 2019, but his journey started long before reality TV. From holiday rep to headline-grabbing marketer, Lewis has carved a path that’s anything but traditional.

In this conversation, we unpack Lewis’ early mindset shifts, what he learned from travelling and meeting high-performing entrepreneurs, and how he’s turned rejection, controversy, and chaos into a profitable creative business.

Expect to learn:

• The quote Lewis posted in 2016 that still drives him today
• How travel and exposure to business owners changed his beliefs about money and success
• Behind the scenes of The Apprentice, Lord Sugar’s tweets, and that tattoo
• Why Lewis built Hussel out of necessity, and how it became the UK’s boldest agency
• What “disruptive marketing” really means in 2025
• How documenting a stolen AirPods saga in Qatar turned into a marketing lesson
• Why Lewis nearly got deported from Dubai after a protest-style stunt
• Thoughts on authenticity, personal brands, and why audiences trust people over companies
• Favourite industries and dream projects
• Stalker stories and hecklers inspired by Baby Reindeer
• Lewis’ thoughts on going on Dragons’ Den and how he sees success evolving by age 40
