Great Company with Jamie Laing

Frank Warren is one of the biggest names in British boxing, having promoted some of the greatest fighters the sport has ever seen.

I'm a huge boxing fan, so sitting down with Frank was a dream come true. And his life is like a Guy Ritchie movie…

Frank grew up on a council estate in North London, left school at 14 and fell into boxing promotion almost by accident. He went on to build an incredible career, only to be shot and nearly killed at the height of his success.

From surviving that to promoting some of the biggest nights in boxing, Frank has seen it all.

In this conversation, Frank shares:
The moment he was shot and nearly killed in 1989
Why signing Ricky Hatton was one of his proudest achievements
His thoughts on how ‘influencer-boxing’ is changing the sport
What happened when he got punched by Mike Tyson

Frank is a reminder that resilience isn't about avoiding setbacks - it's about what you build after them.

Frank Warren is Great Company.

Usually, Great Moments is all about the advice and takeaways from our amazing guests. But this week it's a little different…

I wanted to share part of my conversation with a good friend of mine, Jack Whitehall. Jack didn’t come on Great Company because he wanted to… in fact, he only agreed to do it because he owed me a BIG favour.

In this Great Moment, Jack reveals exactly what that favour was and what it’s really like to work with his father, the unintentionally hilarious, Michael Whitehall.

How much do you know about menopause? Because, I’ll be honest, before speaking to Professor Sarah Berry, I didn’t really know much…

Menopause affects over half the population, yet 90% of women in the UK weren’t taught about it at school. So many women enter this stage of life without really knowing what’s happening to their bodies… or what to expect.

In this Great Moment, Professor Sarah Berry, Chief Scientist at ZOE and a leading voice on menopause research, breaks down everything we need to know.

From what it is and the symptoms we hear about all the time, to the symptoms we rarely hear about, Professor Berry explains how it can affect day to day life.
