Formula One and premature babies don’t sound like they belong in the same sentence. And yet here we are...

We talk about how the high-speed, high-pressure world of F1 pit stops ended up transforming the care of critically ill babies at Great Ormond Street Hospital. When Dr Martin Elliot and Dr Alan Goodman looked at how F1 teams manage flawless handovers at 200mph, they saw something healthcare desperately needed. Clarity. Rehearsal. Roles that are nailed, not assumed.

By borrowing the discipline of motorsport and applying it to medicine, teams reduced technical errors by 42 percent and shortened handover time by 13 percent. Not through more effort, but through better process.

We unpack why marginal gains matter, why structure doesn’t kill humanity, and how small changes in how we communicate can quite literally save lives. What started as an unlikely crossover became a global model for safer care and a powerful reminder that brilliance often lives in unexpected places.

Proof that sometimes the smartest ideas come from looking completely outside your lane.

Mad Cow. Variant CJD. Government reassurance served with a side of crossed fingers.

This chat pulls apart one of the biggest food and trust scandals the UK has ever quietly moved on from. We’re talking about how contaminated feed made its way into the food chain, how “there’s nothing to worry about” turned into “ah… actually,” and why economic protection kept winning over public safety for far too long.

We also wander into the horse meat scandal, modern food security fears, and why transparency always seems to arrive several years too late.

It’s uncomfortable. It’s necessary. And it explains exactly why so many people stopped automatically believing the official line.

Brew optional. Scepticism encouraged.

Imposter syndrome has a funny way of turning capable people into silent overthinkers.

In this part 2 conversation, we sit down with Dawn Baxter and get honest about what imposter syndrome actually does in real life. Not just the wobbly confidence moments, but the chronic self doubt, the anxiety, the burnout, and the perfectionism that quietly chips away at brilliant people and entire workplaces.

We talk about how it shows up as procrastination, fear of failure, and playing small to avoid being seen. How it impacts productivity, engagement, and retention. And why workplaces often end up rewarding the loudest voices instead of the most thoughtful, innovative, and conscientious ones.

We also explore how positive psychology and supportive leadership can change the game. How recognising imposter syndrome early protects performance, confidence, and wellbeing. And why some of the highest performing people are often the least likely to shout about it.

This one’s for anyone who’s ever thought “they’re going to find me out” while quietly doing exceptional work.

And yes, we wrap things up with a conversation about resilience, because getting your confidence back isn’t about becoming louder. It’s about becoming steadier.
