    #336. Criminal Underworld & Nigel Benn's Manager - Peter DeFreitas

    25/03/2026 | 2h 26 mins.
    Peter DeFreitas opens up on a life forged in violence, loyalty, and survival - from the streets of East London to the heart of world championship boxing. Before the spotlight, his reputation was built the hard way, navigating crime, conflict, and a world where respect had to be earned and defended.

    As the right-hand man to Nigel Benn, he stepped into boxing’s inner circle - negotiating high-stakes deals, protecting his fighter at all costs, and going toe-to-toe with some of the most powerful figures in the sport. He reveals the truth behind boxing’s ruthless politics, where loyalty is rare, trust is dangerous, and one wrong move can change everything.

    But with success came consequences. He speaks openly about the price he paid - the relationships strained, the regrets that linger, and the reality of a life lived on the edge.
    This is a raw, unfiltered look at what it really takes to survive at the top.

    This is the eventful life of Peter DeFreitas.

    #335. - Lewis Moody EXCLUSIVE - England World Cup Winner Fighting Motor Neurone Disease

    18/03/2026 | 2h 44 mins.
    Lewis Moody opens up about life after rugby, reflecting on the highs of captaining England to World Cup glory and the brutal physical and mental toll the sport took behind the scenes. From relentless injuries to the pressure of leading a national team, he shares how discipline, resilience and identity shaped both his playing career and the transition that followed.

    He speaks about the reality of elite sport - the constant pain, the sacrifices away from family, and the struggle many athletes face when the career that defined them suddenly ends. Moody discusses rebuilding purpose after retirement, channeling the same drive that fueled his rugby career into business, media and charity work, while learning to adapt his competitive mindset to life beyond the pitch.
    Fiercely committed and deeply reflective, Lewis reveals how leadership, adversity and accountability forged the person he is today - and why the lessons from rugby continue to shape everything he does.

    He also speaks openly about his Motor Neurone Disease (MND) diagnosis, sharing how the progressive condition has changed daily life while highlighting the resilience and mindset he’s using to face it - focusing on staying positive, adapting to the challenges, and continuing to support awareness for MND within the rugby community.

    This is the eventful life of Lewis Moody.

    04/03/2026 | 1h 22 mins.
    James Sinclair opens up about building an 18-brand empire spanning childcare, leisure, food services and hospitality - with 45 companies on Companies House and over 2,000 employees. From buying five businesses in a single year to adding £23 million in revenue, he shares how he leverages distribution, management teams and “love, want and need” sectors to scale aggressively through smart acquisitions.
    He speaks about the pressures of entrepreneurship - £18 million in loans, a £1.5-2 million monthly payroll, dark moments behind the scenes, and why “happiness is a little bit boring” for someone wired to build. Fiercely ambitious and relentlessly driven, James reveals his obsession with growth, buying established businesses over starting from scratch, and his refusal to ever retire - even if the only breaking point is death.

    This is the eventful life of James Sinclair.

    25/02/2026 | 1h 26 mins.
    Farard Darver opens up about leaving a 16-year military career - including tours in Afghanistan - to build a global CBD brand from scratch. After battling chronic pain and relying on painkillers, he discovered an alternative that would change his life and spark a new mission. What started as a personal solution is now a company operating across multiple continents, backed by 38 investors, and on track to become a £1 billion enterprise.

    He speaks candidly about the reality of entrepreneurship - walking away from a guaranteed pension, risking everything, raising £2.2 million, and grinding through years of uncertainty. From combat zones to boardrooms, this is a story of discipline, resilience, and betting it all on a vision.
