One of my favourite traditions on Five of My Life is the 'sixth question'. This is when, at the end of every interview, I ask my guests who they want to hear take the Five of My Life Challenge next.  As this 'sneak peak' into next week's episode explains, it's how the 'Sixers Club' came to be, and brings a beautiful connectedness to the whole exercise - Nigel

I've always admired people who create something new and meaningful from nothing. Particularly, when their creation is something that makes society better.  It takes courage, vision and incredible tenacity to overcome the naysayers and inevitable obstacles. In this special 'Founders' compilation episode I talk to Andrew Penfold, David Handley, Zara Siedler, Ronni Kahn and William Sieghart - five remarkable people who have each successfully founded projects that have made a lasting and meaningful contribution to the world - Nigel
