As Colin reveals in this highly personal episode, surface appearances can be deceptive, especially when it comes to people, and that we should never take our mental wellbeing for granted.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Even when people appear to be capable, confident and competent on the surface, they can be deeply troubled inside.
• Earning a living is necessary, but we must make time for life outside of work. It's about striking the correct balance between these two worlds.

BEST MOMENTS

'Underneath there are all kinds of frailties and vulnerabilities'

'It's so easy for the things we think are important, to get in the way of what's actually important'
