I’m super excited to share today’s conversation with a guest whose life journey is as fascinating as it is inspiring. From her early days at the BBC, she became the first newsreader on Breakfast Television at its inception. Through her time raising two children and taking a step behind the camera, producing events for both corporate companies and charities internationally.

But that's not all. There’s another layer to her story. Since childhood, she has harboured a passion for storytelling. This passion blossomed later in life, leading her to a third career as an accomplished author.

It’s my pleasure to introduce a lady of many talents, Debbie Rix.. Join me as we discuss her incredible journey, the challenges she’s navigated, and the creativity that inspires her.

Today, I'm incredibly excited to introduce my second guest, Ros Marshall, OBE – a remarkable businesswoman, cherished client, and friend. Ros stands out not only for her leadership role as Managing Director of Bright Horizons, a childcare and early education leader, but also for her contribution to the British Council and the National Children's Orchestra of Great Britain. Her outstanding work has been recognised with an OBE. Not to mention, she is a dedicated wife and mother to three grown-up daughters; what an honour. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to have her join us today. Get ready for another fantastic conversation brimming with valuable stories, tips and advice to inspire you all.

Diagnosed with a rare form of albinism at 19, Chris faced unimaginable challenges, including being temporarily placed in a psychiatric unit due to disbelief about his condition. Yet, judo became his sanctuary, leading him to the British Judo Centre of Excellence in Walsall. His dedication paid off with a gold medal at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics and he is now currently training for Paris 2024. Off the mat, Chris is a community hero, delivering food parcels during lockdown and winning the UK Sport Social Impact award. 🥇
