When it comes to LinkedIn Success stories, Lea Turner’s is hard to beat.

After creating a successful transcription business, Lea decided to give LinkedIn a try in an attempt to attract more clients. 

She had no idea that her voice, approach, and expertise would lead to her profile rocketing in popularity, and within 6 months she had reached 30,000 followers. 

Today, she has a network of more than 125,000, and trains other people on how to use LinkedIn to build their businesses.

She’s faced trauma, self-harm and depression in her life, but she’s resilient, hardworking, and doesn’t take any BS - especially from sleazy blokes creeping into her DMs!

Coming from a turbulent childhood living in hostels for the homeless, Shaa Wasmund was determined to create a financially secure future. 

Whilst studying at the London School of Economics, she seized an opportunity to work with Chris Eubank during the lead up to the biggest fight in British Boxing history against Nigel Benn, and ended up making a name for herself in the sport.

Her intelligence, determination and savviness opened doors, and soon she was helping build the brand of a small vacuum cleaning business with a little known inventor named James Dyson!

Several successful ventures, a Sunday Times Best Selling Book, and an MBE later, Shaa has become a truly great British entrepreneur.

She’s a joy to talk with and I can see why the Telegraph described her as having ‘steal balls with spikes on’

This is the eventful life of Shaa Wasmund MBE.

Bournemouth’s own, Chris Billam-Smith, is a boxer the whole country should get behind.

He’s the Commonwealth, British, and European Cruiserweight Champion, and has been under the guidance of Shane and Barry McGuigan since turning professional.

He’s sparred with the likes of David Haye and George Groves, and during the pandemic he even fought at Matchroom’s Fight Camp in my old mate Barry Hearn’s back garden!

In a sport full of in-your-face trash talkers, Chris remains a very calm, thoughtful and articulate athlete, who lets his performances do the talking.

As a founding member of Scotland Yard’s undercover unit in the 1980s, Peter Bleksley has lived amongst some of the most dangerous and well-connected criminals in Britain. 

He’s passed himself off as an international drug baron, a contract killer, and an arms dealer during his time, but it all went wrong when he was forced into witness protection after the FBI uncovered a plot to have him murdered. 

Peter has since made a name for himself in the media, leading the Hunter Squad in Channel 4’s hit series Hunted, and is now on the trail of a suspected murderer who has been on the run for over 15 years, as part of his BBC podcast ‘Manhunt’.

He has nerve-racking stories of near-misses, some fascinating insight into living undercover for over a decade, and he shares his reasoning behind dedicating his life to tracking down the UK’s most wanted.

In March 2020, as the world was advised to stay indoors, a cultural phenomenon was born. 

The Netflix documentary series, Tiger King, was an instant hit, spawning countless memes, and making stars of Joe Exotic and Carole Baskin.

Carole had lived a life of conservation and animal protection, stemming from a childhood fascination with wild animals.

But following the sudden disappearance of her husband, and an ongoing feud with the outlandish Joe Exotic, controversy seemed to follow her everywhere. 

She’s faced lawsuits, death threats and even accusations that she murdered her husband and fed him to the tigers.

So I wanted to get her side of the story, and find the truth behind Tiger King.

As an elite soldier serving in Afghanistan, Tobias Gutteridge’s life was changed forever by a single bullet. 

The shot penetrated his neck, severing his spinal cord and leaving him paralysed from the chin down.

Toby faced the unimaginable realisation that his life was changed forever, being confined to a wheelchair with a respirator helping him breathe, and requiring around-the-clock care.

He struggled with drug abuse, mental health challenges, and the on-going temptation to pursue an assisted suicide. 

It’s a story of resilience, strength, and hope in the face of the most brutal circumstances. This man is an inspiration, a true fighter, and an example to us all.

Not many lives are eventful enough to warrant a Hollywood movie made about them. But Zak Zodiac and his family are far from average. 

Performing on the wrestling circuit from the age of 10, he grew up on the mat, performing around the country, and wrestling his entire family. 

When his sister Paige hit the Big Time at WWE, Zak’s dreams seemed to be shattered and he watched from the sidelines as she became a household name. 

But after Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson put their story on the big screen, in the movie ‘Fighting With My Family’, Zak found a new purpose, got clean & healthy, and started preparing for one last push for the Big Time.
