What does success actually look like? Is it being brilliant at what you do, or making a difference that people genuinely notice?
How do you know when it’s your moment to lead, and when it’s time to pass the baton?
And what happens when someone tells you, “Sorry, you’re not the right fit”? Do you accept it, or find a different door to knock on?
In this bonus episode, Tim dives into three questions from you! Drawing on stories from his own career, he unpacks what it really means to create value, how to handle feedback that stings, and why sometimes the best advice is the advice you choose not to take.
In this episode, you'll discover:Why being great at your job isn’t enough if you’re not creating real value
How to spot when stepping aside is the smartest move you can make
Why rejection can be a sign to look elsewhere, not a reason to give up

Today, Tim is joined by one of the world's most influential psychologists, Angela Duckworth.
Angela became famous for her groundbreaking work on grit — the idea that passion and perseverance matter more than talent when it comes to long-term success.
But after years studying high achievers, she's come to a surprising conclusion:
What if the problem isn't you? What if it's your situation?
In this conversation, Angela explains why so many ambitious people get stuck trying harder when what they really need is a different environment, different relationships, or a different way of thinking. From burnout and motivation to failure, confidence and career transitions, she shares the research that changed her own mind about achievement.
Tim and Angela discuss:
- Why trying harder isn't always the answer
- How your environment shapes your success
- Why failure feels so personal — and how to recover from it
- Why mentors matter more than most people realise
- The loneliness epidemic and what it's doing to us
- Why confidence doesn't automatically transfer into new situations

Work is not just about being good at your job. It is about being heard, building influence, and knowing how to navigate the people around you.
In this episode, Alastair Campbell shares what decades at the highest levels of power taught him about influence, communication, and getting things done. From working alongside Tony Blair to shaping messages that cut through, he has seen first hand why some people get their way and others get ignored.
This is not about spin or manipulation. It is about understanding how influence really works and how you can use it in your own career.
We cover how to influence when you are not in charge, why being right is often not enough, and how to get people to back your ideas. Alastair also explains how to handle power dynamics at work, deal with difficult personalities, and say what needs to be said even when it is uncomfortable.
If you have ever felt overlooked, frustrated, or unsure how to make an impact at work, this episode will give you the tools to change that.
