Why is it that often people with the hardest beginnings in life become the most successful adults? And is there something to learn from those people who perhaps have the strongest sense of what matters most?

Times Journalists Rachel Sylvester and Alice Thomson return to talk to even more extraordinary people about how they overcame moments in their early lives to achieve great success. This series they are joined by the likes of one of Britain’s most recognisable women in business Deborah Meaden, the nations favourite PE teacher Joe Wicks, acclaimed novelist Anthony Horowitz and more.
