On this week's episode of Life and Lessons, you're going to hear a conversation I had with Ryan Murton.

Ryan is the Director of Organic Acquisition at Bumble. Before that, he spent almost 10 years working for some of the biggest and best-known bookmakers, including Paddypower, Betfair, and SkyBet.

Ryan has a really interesting story and some insights that you won't quite believe.

On this episode, you're going to learn about: 

• Exactly how gambling companies win new customers and what to look out for if you're placing a bet
• Why somebody who has won literally £100,000s worth of bets would quit gambling cold turkey
• Ryan's decision-making process which has led him to make correct predictions about countless events, including the last seven major political results 
• What the world of online dating is going to look like as things start to get back to normal

And so much more.

Make sure you stick around until the end, because I ask Ryan to make three predictions about big events we have coming our way, and I promise you, you don't want to miss his answers.

On this week's episode of Life and Lessons, you're going to hear a conversation between me and Tom Harwood.

Tom is Senior Reporter at Guido Fawkes. If you follow political news, or you've ever seen tweets of a breaking news story unfolding in Westminster, it's likely that you've seen Tom's face.

In the next hour, you're going to learn:

1. What really happens behind the scenes in British politics
2. Why the pub is often the best place to be when working in political journalism
3. How it feels to break a bad news story about somebody you know well, and the feelings involved just before you hit 'publish'
4. What it's like the receive thousands of Twitter mentions every single day

And so much more.

I'm fairly detached from politics; for me, it's a process which occurs every few years when I step into a polling booth, and sometimes it's a sideshow to my life when I happen to watch the news. But this episode was really interesting, to hear about politics from the inside out, from somebody whose job is to be on top of the biggest stories both in and outside of parliament.

On this week's episode of Life and Lessons, you're going to hear a conversation between me and Andrew Tindall.

You may remember Andrew as the guy who managed to last on the BBC's Young Apprentice for three-times longer than I did, but off-screen, Andrew has a really interesting story.

Having studied for a medical degree at a prestigious university, Andrew changed directions not once, but twice; first, by changing his degree halfway through, and then by starting a career in the alcohol industry.

Today, Andrew is a Brand Activation Manager at Bacardi, where it's his job to help you find an affinity with the alcohol brands you interact with.

In the next hour, you're going to learn about:

• The alcohol industry and how it really works
• Why we make the choices we do when presented with a bar full of drinks
• The real benefits of going to university, some of which have absolutely nothing to do with formal education
• What working in care homes and hospices with those at the end of their lives can teach us about ours

And so much more.
