How To Think Like A World-Class Lawyer, with the exceptional Rustum Rau
Lawyers and doctors are revered by society because they solve our problems when we can’t. Doctors fix our bodies, while lawyers fix our minds. So what is it that good lawyers do that would benefit us, if only we could think like them? How do they solve seemingly insurmountably complex problems with enough ease that they have full confidence in what they’re advising us to do? Surely then, for us to know how to think and operate like a top lawyer is to add a crucial string to our bow. Hence this episode’s guest, top lawyer Rustum Rau, whose ability to problem solve on such a sophisticated level sees him advise telecoms giant British Telecom as their ‘Legal Director, Major Transactions.’ How can we tap into his knowledge and skill set to up our own game? Please listen on for a very informative, lively, and mist-clearing exploration into how to problem-solve like the guys at the top. I hope you enjoy the episode and continue to triumphantly forge your way ahead, Ben.

How To Be Happy Again, with the inspirational James Boardman
Prepare to be inspired. When James Boardman retired from the Royal Marines, he was lost; circling the drain of life questioning his own identity and his purpose. The fact that he then developed his own life program to pull himself out of the mire is testament to both his own will to never give up, and proof that no matter how low you can get, you can often make a triumphant comeback. Now a vastly positive, inspirational coach of men who are questioning their own existence, his book ‘It’s A State of Mind: Stop Existing, Start Living’ has totally revolutionised the way people who’ve read it now lead their lives. In this episode, he explains how his system for better living works. Just listening to his perceptions on how to live a better, more fulfilling life lit a fire under my soul — and I hope his words have the same impact on you. Take care — and go down swinging, Ben.

Is animal experimentation torture?
If it’s already been shown that many animals are self-aware, can recognise their own reflection in the mirror, have a sense of their past, their present and their future, then isn’t experimenting on them actually a form of torture? In which case, how can it ever be ethically right? Because, actually, if you look up images on Google of animal experimentation, you’d have to have a very hard heart not to feel disturbed. And yet, getting to a definite conclusion on the issue is far more complicated than one might imagine, as this episode’s esteemed guest Professor David Favre explains. As one of the world's leading thinkers on animal rights, and author of the new book 'Respecting Animals', he’s weighed up this topic for more than three decades. So if you’re looking for an open-minded understanding on the subject beyond the binary - "It’s torture! - It’s not torture!" - Professor Favre's insights are fascinating.
