Dr Louisa Nicola revealed a simple tennis ball exercise that can boost your hand-eye coordination

She said Yes 💍🥺 To say I was nervous is an understatement… I snuck into Morocco where she was on holiday with her family - she thought I was in Europe - and surprised her when she thought she was meeting her fam for dinner. 10 years ago, I didn’t really understand the concept of marriage - but when you meet the right person, a lot of things start to make sense ❤️

Brain expert Louisa Nicola, who's worked with NBA stars, showed me this simple exercise that she believes ANYONE can do to boost their cognitive reserve…

Druski opens up about how a call from Drake changed his life: “The thing that changed my life was Drake calling for The Laugh Now Cry Later music video. Brands started to take me seriously, it was no more sending free merch. It wasn’t until then that the real money was coming in. I can’t believe he took a chance on me”

i cannot believe what I'm reading about Liam Payne absolutely heartbreaking

Before this conversation, I thought I understood Bruno Fernandes. I knew the numbers. The goals, the assists, the leadership, the criticism he’s faced over the years at Manchester United. But I didn’t understand the mentality behind it. Bruno has arguably become United’s greatest player of the post-Ferguson era, carrying their creativity season after season. He’s won more club player of the year awards than Ronaldo, and only five players have scored more than his 70 league goals. So I went to Manchester United Training Ground to ask him questions the footballing world wants to know. Bruno spoke about growing up in Porto, watching his father sacrifice his own football career to provide for the family. He told me his dad never praised him for scoring goals. Instead, he’d point out the small things he still needed to improve. And somehow that mindset shaped one of the most resilient athletes in world football. We spoke about: - Why he believes character matters more than talent in elite teams. - How dressing room culture determines whether talent succeeds or fails. - Why taking risks is essential if you want to create anything extraordinary! - His honest opinion on pressure and why he thinks it’s a privilege. - His thoughts on having Michael Carrick as a manager. - Addressing Roy Keane’s criticism. When you listen to Bruno speak, you understand that what makes him exceptional isn’t just technical ability. It’s his standards. The standards he holds himself to. The standards he expects from teammates. The standards he believes define culture. I really respect how Bruno chose to join United during instability because he believed in rebuilding something meaningful rather than joining an “easy” project. I saw a much softer and more thoughtful side of Bruno that I don’t think people will expect. So, thank you Bruno for taking the time to sit down with me and for being so vulnerable. Even if you don’t care about football, there’s a huge amount to learn from this conversation about leadership, resilience and high performance.

Bruno Fernandes on Man United’s biggest mistakes: "The main mistake that the club has made through the years is that we've changed manager to manager, they were very different. And that's already a bad sign…”

My Nigerian mother and my English father modelled hard work in a way that I never understood growing up. My dad worked a full time job late into the evening and when his work was done, he would go and join my mum at her job in a small, hot, fast-paced restaurant kitchen until the early hours of the morning. They came home when I was asleep and went to work when I was asleep. When my mum left the restaurant, she opened a corner shop called KJS and would work all day and all night. She would end up sleeping in the back room of the corner shop on a bag of rice because local kids would break in, steal things and vandalise the shop because she was pretty much the only black women in the area. My dad again, would finish his full time job, and go straight to my mum’s shop and help her until late into the night. The most remarkable part of this, isn’t just the fact that they worked 7-days a week to provide for their family. It was their attitude towards their work. They never ever described or viewed what they did as hard work. I never ever heard them complain even once about "working hard". They seemed to view work as the ultimate privilege, honour and opportunity. The older I’ve gotten, the more I’ve realised that they were my biggest professional inspirations and influence - not because they gave me profound advice like some parents do, but because they set a profound example without needing to say a word - one that has enabled me to pursue my own dreams with a level of focused gratitude that I wouldn't have had otherwise. "My parents were tasked with the job of survival and I with self-actualisation. What a luxury it is to search for purpose, meaning, and fulfilment." - Bo Ren

When I sat down with CIA whistleblower John Kiriakou, I asked him if he thought Jeffrey Epstein was a spy. This is what he had to say… 👇🏾

She said Yes 💍🥺 To say I was nervous is an understatement… I snuck into Morocco where she was on holiday with her family - she thought I was in Europe - and surprised her when she thought she was meeting her fam for dinner. 10 years ago, I didn’t really understand the concept of marriage - but when you meet the right person, a lot of things start to make sense ❤️

We’re taking The Diary Of A CEO to America for 2 months! 🇺🇸😳 Who should I have on the show while we’re there? 👀

Could this be the next Prime Minister of Canada? Recently, I’ve been finding myself up all night trying to figure out what the hell is going on in the world and if we're on the verge of World War III… So, today I’m sitting down with Pierre Poilievre who is the leader of Canada's Conservative Party and Leader of the Opposition. He became one of the youngest MPs elected to Canadian parliament and has spent 2 decades fighting for working class people and fair opportunities. Pierre told me that he’s on a mission to make Canada the freest and most affordable place in the world, and he’s not stopping until that happens. To give you more context on his background, Pierre was adopted at birth by two school teachers who struggled financially and ended up losing multiple homes which meant that they had to start again from nothing several times throughout his childhood. That experience shaped what he believes about work, money, and fairness. When speaking about his parents, he told me that they taught him that it doesn’t matter where you come from. It matters what you do. That belief is now at the centre of everything he’s trying to change.

Kamala Harris made history as America’s first female, first Black, and first South Asian Vice President. Today, she sits down with me for the longest interview she has ever had… Before becoming Vice President, she served as California’s Attorney General and later as a U.S. Senator. In a time when America feels divided and uncertain, Kamala told me I could ask her anything… and that’s what I did. We spoke candidly about the night she thought she’d won, a moment she says felt almost unreal comparing it to the loss of her mother.

life is so weird! Some years ago, in a Manchester bedroom, i started a podcast with a $100 microphone and called it The Diary Of A CEO... The idea was that i'd share some of the more personal things in my diary - that first episode got 40 subscribers on Apple. Most of them were my friends. Thankfully, two of my friends told me it wasn't as embarrassing as I thought it was, and told me to carry on. Today, about 6 years after bringing the show to YouTube, we hit 16,000,000 subscribers. This month we had 90 million± downloads/views (a new record for us), and added 600,000+ new subscribers to the show. no rational person looking at me sat in that bedroom at 3am, trying to figure out how to edit on garage band, using a sock as a pop-shield for the microphone, would have forecast any of this. i certainly did not. all of this has been so weird to me that it's mentally easier to just not think about it, and focus on the work... which is the decision we've always made and will continue to make In an industry dominated by American media giants, I'm really proud that a show founded in Britain by a team of now hundreds of Brits, many of them young people in their first job, can compete globally... And i'm reminded again what's possible with the right people, the right focus, a willingness to work very hard, (and some good fortune and timing). AND... i'm reminded again of the power of the creative industries in the UK. FLIGHTSTORY, our media company behind The Diary Of A CEO and a growing slate of other shows, just finished its 25,000 sqft campus in central London and is expanding in the US. We're hiring like crazy - so please get in touch if you're looking for a job! We're looking for everything from software engineers, creatives, C-suite level execs and more! To the audience who show up week after week, thank you so much for handing me one of the great, unexpected, privileges of my life! ok, back to work!

What is it like to grow up in one of the most talked about families in the world? Well, today’s guest is Ivanka Trump - someone who’s lived much of her life in the public eye, from childhood through business, and all the way to the White House. From a young age, her life was anything but normal. She grew up surrounded by media attention and moments that most people could never relate to. At just nine years old, she was dealing with reporters outside her school during her parents’ divorce - an experience she says shaped how she saw trust and the world around her. As she got older, that pressure didn’t go away. She built a career in real estate before stepping into government and working at the highest level during one of the most intense political periods in recent history. I found myself coming back to something we discussed around how living under that kind of scrutiny forces you to get really clear on who you are, because if you don’t, the world will define it for you. And a lot of this conversation comes back to that idea. Being intentional with your time and your decisions, and even what you allow into your mind, because without that, it’s very easy to get pulled in a direction that isn’t really yours. I wanted to know: - How do you grow up under constant public scrutiny? - What does pressure actually do to a person over time? - How do you know who to trust when you’re in the spotlight? - What is power really like behind closed doors? There’s a moment where she reflects on how, for a long time, protecting herself meant building walls and not trusting people, but over time she realised those same walls can stop you from having real connection. Let me know your thoughts after watching this one.

Today I sit down with the former Prime Minister of the UK, Boris Johnson for his first long form podcast. He was the 55th Prime Minister, the country’s leader through 3 of the biggest crises of the last century; Brexit, Covid and the war in Ukraine. He is one of the most polarising figures of British Political History. As a podcaster, these conversations aren’t easy - they’re not the ones I enjoy having the most. But they are important as they shed light on the inner workings of the people and systems that govern us. Today on The Diary Of A CEO, we cover: • How his turbulent childhood created a gap in his self esteem. • How is mother being sent to a psychiatric facility when he was 10 changed him. • He reveals details of his personal life and family. • Why he adopted a unique political persona. • He explains that government is and has always been corrupt. • How David Cameron told him that he would ‘f*ck him up, forever’ and tried to bribe him. • Why he thinks that COVID was a lab accident. • His updated view on the ‘Party Gate’ scandal. • He admits to not having a plan for Brexit. • Why he thinks his lockdown measures were ‘bonkers’.
