What started as making videos at home with his friends has turned into a cult following of millions and a hit show, Therapuss with Jake Shane, where he’s interviewed everyone from Sandra Bullock to Kylie Jenner.

I’ve been a fan of Jake’s for a long time and sitting down with him was so much fun. But despite having millions of followers and so much success, Jake finds it surprisingly hard to enjoy what he’s achieved.

But growing up in the spotlight wasn’t always easy. In this conversation, Jack reflects on being dragged into bars at 16, struggling with addiction and the moment he began turning his life around.

Now a dad of five, Jack reflects on how far he’s come, the recent heartbreak of losing his dad, Ozzy and he shares why he wants to keep Ozzy’s legacy alive with AI.

In this conversation Jack shares:

• What life was really like at the height of The Osbournes
• The best thing about his dad, Ozzy
• How fame and alcohol helped him rebel as a teenager

Since then, the criminal barrister turned broadcaster has won a BAFTA with Rylan Clark for Rob and Rylan’s Grand Tour, been awarded an MBE for his work in Holocaust education, and written Sunday Times bestselling novels.

Tinie Tempah made his name as a pioneer of the grime scene. Over the past 15 years, he’s built an incredible career, racking up more than five billion streams and giving us iconic hits like Pass Out, Miami 2 Ibiza and Girls Like.

I was so excited to sit down with him on Great Company. And one thing that really stuck with me was just how much he has always believed that he'd be successful.

But for Tinie, that's not just been wishful thinking. He’s always had a clear vision for his life and been intentional about making it happen. Winning at life has always been the goal and that means embracing failures, learning lessons and being open to new opportunities.

In this conversation Tinie shares:

• How he manifested his music career

• What his mum taught him about hard work and success

• His fear of being a one hit wonder

• Why he stepped back from music for nine years - and what’s brought him back

• The secret track he produced for Drake

This conversation is a reminder that believing in yourself is the first step to achieving anything.

Tinie Tempah is Great Company.

Tinie’s new album, The Night’s Not Dead, is out NOW!

Bea Elton, known online as Clean With Bea, deep cleans homes for free, helping people who are often struggling with their mental health or going through an incredibly difficult time.

The jobs can be extreme, with some homes containing mice, maggots, years of built up rubbish and conditions that could be classed as biohazards.

Bea transforms these spaces into clean, liveable homes and shares the journey with her six million followers online.

But Bea’s work is about much more than cleaning. She is passionate about showing that people who are struggling need kindness and support, not judgement.

In this conversation, Bea shares:

- Why she started making cleaning content

- The stories of the people she helps

- How her work has grown into campaigning and driving social change

- What motivates her to keep going and caring for people

Bea is a really special person. She’s a reminder that we can all do more to help others - and that sometimes, simply choosing to care can make a real difference.

Bea Elton is Great Company.
