Dear
Reader,
|
Failure and crisis have
spawned two great podcasts, from hosts who know how it feels.
Elizabeth Day, host of How To Fail, feels the break up of a marriage and not
having children to be among hers. Andy Coulson, former editor of
the News of the World and David Cameron’s Director
of Communications, went through a very public-facing crisis
of epic proportions when he was jailed for his involvement in the
phone-hacking scandal. His podcast Crisis What
Crisis? examines how
people cope with their crises and come out the other side. This
week, he came to speak at one of our Great British
Brands events and held
the room powerfully. I was left with two great bits of advice:
first was how being bitter or resentful is no good for anyone, he
quoted Mandela’s maxim of ‘resentment is like drinking
poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies’; the second was, whatever you’re going
through, know that ‘it will end’. Lessons worth heeding from
someone who knows…

What
The Grand Tourists Did Next…
|
It
used to be men and cars, now it’s men and pubs. Jeremy Clarkson was
heard complaining that his new pub is losing an astonishing £10 per
diner, and meanwhile, his old mucker James May only bought his so
he’d have one within walking distance. Are petrolheads the
answer for saving this British institution?

Travel Habits Of The Super Rich

And it’s not what you think. Long gone are the
‘glitzy resorts and ostentatious hotels’, says Fran Kellett, it’s now
all about ‘mind-blowing experiences and behind-the-scenes access –
the more off-the-chart the better.’ Does that float your
boat?
