The true power of saying YES - how 100 conversations have changed my life forever 04.10.2026 1j 12mntFor this special milestone episode 100 of Project Possible, I look back on a year of throwing myself at the podcast, and the impact these conversations have had on my life, my outlook and my hope to be of service to others.I talk about why building and selling a business didn’t leave me feeling fulfilled, learning to enjoy life again after losing my brother Jordan to suicide, fatherhood, health, money, and what success means to me as I turn 39.I get into finding my own lane in a sea of podcasts - and recognising that asking life's bigger questions and having ambition doesn't stop just because you have responsibilities. I also share some of the friendships and opportunities that have come from just saying yes, and my pride in joining the advisory panel of Dr Susie Bennett’s new charity, Action on Male Suicide.Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/richleighpod====="It's like Diary of a CEO, but for people that have to do the school run."After my younger brother Jordan took his own life last year, I sold the business I’d spent a decade building and decided to go all-in on creating something meaningful.This podcast is the result.Project Possible is about success through adversity.

Fertility Expert: “I Was Given a 0.7% Chance of Having a Baby - Then I Got Pregnant Naturally at 44!” 06.09.2026 1j 45mntLiberty Mills has lived about five different lives.She was an international model, a young single mum, a woman so badly affected by lupus that she needed a Zimmer frame, a health coach and author who rebuilt her life, and then, at 44, a woman who became pregnant naturally after being given around a 0.7% chance of conceiving with her own eggs.She talks about the darker side of the modelling industry, including being weighed and measured before being paid, having money docked if her measurements changed, and being made to walk around in her underwear as punishment.She talks about becoming seriously ill, losing her hair, her independence and much of the identity she had built around being healthy and successful, and the moment her daughter asked: “When you die, how will I pay the mortgage?”We also get into fertility, miscarriage, IVF, stress, relationships, male fertility, and what it does to a couple when having a child starts to feel impossible.And Liberty explains why she refuses to let a diagnosis, statistic or label decide who she is or what happens next.This is a conversation about fertility, but really, it’s about reinvention, agency, and refusing to believe your future has already been written.Follow Liberty on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mills.libertyFollow me on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/richleighpod====="It's like Diary of a CEO, but for people that have to do the school run."After my younger brother Jordan took his own life last year, I sold the business I’d spent a decade building and decided to go all-in on creating something meaningful.This podcast is the result.Project Possible is about success through adversity.

I proved them all wrong." - Apprentice winner Dr Leah Totton 30.08.2026 1j 38mntDr Leah Totton is a doctor, entrepreneur and winner of The Apprentice, where Lord Sugar invested £250,000 in her medical aesthetics business when she was just 24 years old.She talks about being dismissed as “Dr Barbie” by the press. She talks about journalists following her to and from work, and how reporters would approach patients and colleagues while she was working in A&E in a bid to get dirt on her.And, crazily, she told me how one tabloid even sent a journalist and her 14-year-old daughter undercover into her clinic in an attempt to catch her offering Botox to the teenager.At its worst, Lord Sugar stepped in and threatened to sue one outlet over its treatment of Leah.We also get into growing up in Northern Ireland during the Troubles, the Omagh bombing that inspired her to become a doctor and the guilt and personal conflict she felt leaving traditional medicine for aesthetics.She talks about building Dr Leah Clinics from scratch, working seven-day weeks, and more recently selling a majority stake in the business in what she calls a “life-changing” deal, and she told me why she believes luck and timing matter as much as hard work.A rare interview with an incredibly impressive entrepreneur who is, by her own admission, extremely private.This is Dr Leah Totton.Follow Leah on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/drleahtottonFollow me on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/richleighpod====="It's like Diary of a CEO, but for people that have to do the school run."After my younger brother Jordan took his own life last year, I sold the business I’d spent a decade building and decided to go all-in on creating something meaningful.This podcast is the result.Project Possible is about success through adversity.

He Lost The Love Of His Life, Then Made It Funny: interview with comedian Sam Morrison 09.08.2026 1j 12mntIs it possible to turn hope into loss - and even comedy?This week, I'm joined by US comedian Sam Morrison for a conversation about love, grief, comedy, and the show that changed his life.Sam is the creator of Sugar Daddy, a critically acclaimed solo show about losing his partner Jonathan to Covid, being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, and somehow turning the most painful period of his life into something funny, moving and deeply human.We also talk about his show DUCK, which he's currently performing at the Edinburgh Fringe throughout August. In this episode, Sam talks about meeting Jonathan, the silliness and love that defined their relationship, and what it means to keep someone alive by continuing to talk about them. He also opens up about anger, grief, body image, gay culture, and why making jokes about loss is one of the hardest things he has ever had to do.Funny, filthy, tender and unexpectedly profound, I loved this conversation.Info and tickets for DUCK: https://www.edfringe.com/tickets/whats-on/sam-morrison-duckFollow Sam on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/samuelhmorrisonFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/richleighpod ====="It's like Diary of a CEO for people that have to do the school run."Interviews that might just change your life.

His childhood playground, where he and his brothers would play hide-and-seek after hours, was filled with endangered species from around the world.As Managing Director of The Big Cat Sanctuary and one of the stars of CBBC's One Zoo Three along with his brothers Aaron and Tyler, conservation has never just been a job - it's been his entire life.But in 2024, that life took an extraordinary turn.When five traumatised lions were discovered in war-torn Ukraine, Cam led an ambitious mission to bring them to safety in the UK, raising more than £500,000 and overseeing one of the most remarkable animal rescues in history.In this episode, we discuss growing up with big cats in his back garden, the realities of conservation, whether animals can suffer trauma, life in front of the camera, and what it takes to attempt something that most people would consider impossible.Cam also shares the story behind his new book, Lion Heart, and reflects on the lessons he's learned from a lifetime spent protecting some of nature's most magnificent creatures.Follow Cam on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/camwhitnallBuy Lion Heart: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lion-Heart-lifelong-incredible-rescue/dp/1529979501Follow me on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/richleighpod=====Interviews that might just change your life.

Why Elon Musk Is Wrong About Mars - Interview with space expert Dr Niamh Shaw 12.07.2026 1j 31mntDr. Niamh Shaw is an engineer, scientist and storyteller who has spent more than a decade chasing an extraordinary dream: to become a citizen astronaut.Along the way, she's spoken at NASA's Johnson Space Center, covered launches from Kennedy Space Center, trained for space, lived on a simulated Mars mission and experienced zero gravity aboard the infamous "Vomit Comet".We talk about whether humans should ever colonise Mars, why she believes Elon Musk's vision for humanity's future is fundamentally flawed, whether space tourism is closer than we think, the search for aliens, and why astronauts believe we need poets, priests and philosophers in space just as much as engineers.It's a conversation that starts with rockets, but ends up being about something much bigger: perspective, possibility and what it means to be human.You can buy Dr Niamh's book here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dream-Big-Irishwomans-Space-Odyssey/dp/1781177155Follow Dr Niamh on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr_niamh_shawFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/richleighpod=====Interviews that might just change your life.

Ready For the Next Episode - Solo episode 03 02.07.2026 37mntFair warning: this is a solo episode. If the thought of me talking for getting on for 40 minutes with only a loose structure makes you want to jump headfirst into fire, flick back through the other 80+ episodes for one you haven't watched or listened to, or come back on Monday, when I'll have another incredible guest.Since September last year, when I brought this podcast back, I've been healing out loud, somewhat. This podcast has become a real-time document of the aftermath of tragic grief, and this idiot's effort to make sense of - well, everything - while wanting desperately to spread positivity and the idea of possibility.This episode is a quieter mediation on just that. No milestone to speak of, no guest, just an honest update on where I am, what Project Possible is becoming, and what it feels like to start again without starting from scratch.In this episode, I talk about rebuilding, how hope can feel uncomfortable, the idea of “New Game+”, and why I’m starting to look up again after - amidst? - the hardest period of my life.I also talk about what the podcast has given me, the opportunities beginning to appear, and why Project Possible feels like the thing everything else might grow from.I think I'm ready for the next episode.Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/richleighpod =====Interviews that might just change your life.
