Nick Ayton has reinvented himself more times than most of us could imagine.

From professional tennis and technology to property, fintech, Bitcoin, writing and public speaking, his story is a masterclass in resilience, adaptability and getting back up when life changes without warning.

We talk about the business collapses that wiped him out, the cost of becoming a whistleblower, and the opportunities that appeared when he stayed open to what came next.

Nick also shares the thinking behind his book, The Slow Bleed, and why ego can be one of the biggest barriers to rebuilding.
