"I Haven't Got Time for Cancer" - 85 Marathons, Hidden Depression and Refusing to Stop | Sally Orange MBE (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sally Orange broke her leg at 16, her boyfriend went off with her best friend while she was in hospital, and she failed her A-levels twice. It took her six years to get into physiotherapy. The same university that rejected her six times in a row later gave her an honorary doctorate. She served 22 years in the British Army — hiding a depression that eventually became a suicidal crisis in 2013, and that ultimately led to her medical discharge. What followed was 85 marathons across every continent
"Boxing and My Wife Saved My Life" - Jamie Moore on Boxing, Resilience and Starting Over (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jamie Moore grew up in Salford with no boxing gym nearby and no obvious way out. A friend rang him at 13 to say one had just opened around the corner — the first night it opened. He went. He stayed for seven years. He became British, Commonwealth, Irish and European champion — the first fighter from Salford in over 100 years to win a British title. He reached number two in the world. He survived something that had nothing to do with boxing. And when the fighting stopped, he became one of the mos
Wisdom from a 103 Year Old, Our Oldest Ever Guest! Life Advice from Dennis Field (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dennis Field was born in 1923, three miles from Windsor. He served in the Marines during the Second World War. After it ended, he tracked down his eventual wife Joan on his motorbike across post-war Britain — using ration coupons for petrol and a phone book to find her address. They were married for over 67 years. He broke his neck in his mid-90s. He had cancer. He's 103. When you ask Dennis the secret to a long life, he doesn't give you a supplement or a morning routine. He says: don't get too
"At Some Point I'm Going to Leave My Own Club" - Living With Dementia and Building Something Anyway | Ian Carter (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ian Carter was 57 when he noticed something was wrong. The anxiety about seeing his golf mates. The mistakes at work he'd never made before. The arguments he couldn't stop starting. By 2024 it was confirmed: frontal temporal dementia. A condition, as Ian puts it, that doesn't kill you. It changes you. He fell into the void between diagnosis and deterioration — a gap the NHS has almost nothing to fill. He didn't want triangle sandwiches and a tambourine. So he started his own group. No Tier Snook
From Free School Meals to Spending £4 Million a Week: Building Communities in Britain's Forgotten Towns | Tim Heatley (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tim Heatley was fired from every retail job he ever had, failed at being a lawyer, and sold his mates' artwork at university rather than get a part-time job. Then he bought a derelict house for less than it would cost to rebuild — and something clicked. Tim is co-founder of Capital & Centric. They spend £3–4 million a week repurposing abandoned buildings and forgotten town centres — and unlike most developers, they never sell what they build. They stay, operate, and build communities from the in
