Karishma Vijay had £7 left, a collapsing business, family pressure, and everything to prove.

Now, the 29 year old founder of beauty brand KishKin has won series 20 of The Apprentice UK, and the £250,000 investment that comes with it.

In her first and only major podcast interview since the win, Karishma opens up about anger, ambition, rejection, resilience, beauty standards, Lord Sugar, and the life she refused to accept.

Interviews that might just change your life. And if not…? You’ll probably enjoy them anyway.

While we're all trying to be better versions of ourselves, this podcast asks: 'what's truly possible?'

Project Possible, hosted by me, Rich Leigh, explores this with incredible guests from the world of business, sport, entertainment and academia.

Between the second and third series, I made the decision to go full-time on this show.

I sold my successful 10 year old PR agency after my youngest brother Jordan took his own life.

I realised that I needed to run towards passion and purpose, and my dream of sharing positivity and possibility as a career - this podcast is my effort to do just that. Subscribe wherever you watch or listen.

Dr Susie Bennett researches suicide in men at Glasgow University. She is one of the world's leading experts on the topic.

In this episode, I wanted to understand why the biggest killer of men under 50 is still themselves.

This isn’t a conversation about empty slogans or easy answers. We get into what suicidal pain actually feels like, why “men need to talk” often isn’t enough, and how isolation, hopelessness and a lack of real support can build over time.

We also talk about community, male friendship, and why spaces where men feel they belong might matter more than we realise.

This isn't a light-hearted conversation, but it's an honest one, about something we’re still not getting right.

Matt Binge is the founder of Food Review Club - a platform he's built to become one the UK's most popular food critics, with millions of followers, hundreds of millions of views, and a relentless output of content.

On the surface, it’s food reviews. Travelling the country, finding hidden gems, eating great meals.

But it was never just about the food.

In this conversation, we get into what really drives Matt. The reality of building something from nothing, the pressure of constant content, and the chaos that can come with filming in public.

We also go deeper.

Matt opens up about a childhood he describes as chaos, how that shaped his mindset, and the fuel that still drives him today.

We talk about anger, resilience, fatherhood, and why success now looks very different.

This is a conversation about identity, drive, and building a life on your own terms.
