My guest this week is Gareth Gore may be a journalist and author of a critically acclaimed book but, more importantly, he’s an old friend

from his working class upbringing in Wigan, to the halls of Cambridge University, then onto the sharp end of financial journalism and best-selling books, he’s never truly forgotten where he came from.

We talk about the importance of hard work, the class divides as you move through the journalism ranks, friendship, and staying grounded at all times wherever you are in the world.

This week we check back in with Greig Paterson, 6 months on from his move to the US with his family.

We do a bit more digging into Greig’s journey, including his time with Clemson Men’s Soccer in the late 90s, coaching in Melbourne 🇦🇺 after a short stint with United Soccer Academy and more of the day to day discoveries (good and bad) as he and his family navigate new surroundings here in the US.
