“I’m a big fan of self-help books and love anything written by Derren Brown. They remind me that I don’t need to worry about things beyond my control - and it helps me change my mindset in situations. He also has a great sense of humour which helps with these deeper subjects!”

“My favourite podcast is SmartLess with Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett. In each episode, one of the hosts reveals his mystery celebrity guest to the other two. It's really entertaining and a good listen on long journeys."

“I prefer a good non-fiction or life story book as I like to get a behind-the-scenes point of view to someone’s life that you would otherwise have no idea about. My recent favourite is the Diary of a CEO by Stephen Bartlett!”
