“I like things to happen… and if they don’t… I like to make them happen.” - Winston Churchill

This episode is all about creating opportunities… rather than waiting for things to fall in your lap.

I spoke to the award winning author and journalist Maurice Hamilton, who explained how he got to do the job he loves – in part by taking motivation from the most successful formula one driver of the early 20th century, who overcame immense odds and tragedy to get into motorsport, as Maurice explains.

His bio says it all - "Lucky enough to be able to write - and occasionally talk - about motor sport for a living. One day I'll get a proper job."
