  • 'I'm a sex worker - it is nothing like people expect' - Meet Emily Payne

    Emily Payne is many things.
     
    An author. A singer. A public speaker who has even delivered talks to the WI.
     
    And she's also a sex worker.
     
    And in this fascinating episode of PRsonal, she sits down with host, Charlotte Nichols, to lift-the-lid on the oldest job in the world.
     
    From the type of men who pay for sex, to the very blunt reason why it isn't as empowering as many say, Emily pulls no punches as she also talks about her book 'Sex is Hard Work: The Tourist’s Guide to the Sights and Smells of Prostitution'
     
    Expect laughs. Expect shock.
     
    This is an episode like no other.

  • 'My uni job was on Richard Branson's private island' - Meet Robert Brasington

    Some students help fund uni by pulling pints.

    Robert Brasington did things a bit differently.

    Instead, a chance meeting ended with him coaching tennis on Sir Richard Branson’s Necker and Moskito private islands.

    And Robert admits to host Charlotte, that short trip to the British Virgin Islands reshaped both his perspective and career trajectory.

    After graduating from Durham Uni, Robert founded Rosemont Dental Group, a business already valued at millions.

    And on this episode of PRsonal he talks about his growth journey, the buzz of the deal - and coaching tennis in paradise.

  • 'I don't think I've ever been happy': Meet Andy Preston

    Andy Preston's career has been incredible.

    Hugely successful city trader. Investor. Mayor. Charity founder.

    And that's just half of it.

    But since leaving the political front line, Andy has become a commentator - and is known for not holding back.

    He doesn't shy away from sharing his views on the big issues, which he's happy to do on this episode of Personal.

    Immigration. Black Lives Matter. Poverty. Donald Trump.

    They all come up - but so does Andy's own personal life, as he discusses his incredible career but also reflects on the passing of his brother in 2021 - and the "frailty of life".

  • 'I had eight hours to live - then the phone rang' - Meet Louise Prashad

    When Louise Prashad was pregnant, she told hospital staff she thought she was going to die.

    She almost did.

    After being sent home, she went to bed. When she woke up, she vomited two pints of blood.

    Louise was in multi-organ failure. Her twins no longer had a heartbeat.

    And doctors told her husband the chances of Louise surviving were tiny.

    But she did.

    And on this episode, she relives that ordeal with host Charlotte Nichols - but also shares her inspirational story, and how a liver transplant not only saved her, but led to her competing for Team GB.

  • PRsonal Ep 87: 'My death sentence gave me a second life': Meet Kerri Douglas

    Aged 24, Kerri Douglas felt she'd been given a death sentence.

    She was diagnosed with HIV.

    But in this remarkable episode of PRsonal, Keri reveals how it actually saved her.

    With the virus no longer detectable, Keri's story is a remarkable example of the resilience humans can have.

    Aged just 13, she was a child on the street. By 19, having been failed by the system and having suffered abuse, she turned to heroin.

    But she refused to be a victim.

    Breaking the cycle, she took herself off the street, driven by a desire to keep being a mum.

    She's since become a public speaker and has written a book, 'Gutter to Glory'.

    Sitting down with host Charlotte Nichols, she talks about her incredible journey - from being jailed for stealing a Sainsbury's sandwich to supporting the charity CEO Sleepout  - and her deep desire to change people's perceptions around homelessness.
