Rob Parsons is an author, public speaker and charity founder with an unbelievable story that encapsulates the true meaning of Christmas.

In part one, Rob recounts the knock at the door that changed his life forever - why he welcomed a homeless man into his home once Christmas, and how that sparked a 45-year long companionship.

Plus, Rob and Dr Alex George discuss how our childhood can influence our self-worth, and unpack why we’re all much more similar than we are different.

Check out Rob’s book A Knock at the Door: A Homeless Man, a Lawyer…and a Family Changed Forever, the proceeds of which go towards his brilliant charity Care for the Family.
