It sent one listener back to his old photo album to remind himself of his showjumping days, and others felt motivated to take up hobbies again.

Our guests include a former college football player, who spent time working as a prison guard before returning to university and ultimately entering the investment industry, an expert on music valuation, multiple ESG and pensions specialists and founders of fund companies – large and small.
