YouTube | Mr JWW
"To say I’m a petrolhead and car fanatic would be an understatement, firmly sat at the supergeek end of the spectrum. Much of the content I consume is therefore car focused, and very few get access like Mr JWW. In this episode, Christian Von Koenigsegg provides a factory tour of the namesake hypercar brand, showcasing their mindblowing innovation and obsessive attention to detail."

"Adriana Brownlee recently became the first British woman to summit all 14 of the worlds 8,000m peaks, as well as being the youngest woman to achieve this. Her content has me both on the edge of my seat, and itching to pack my bags and see how far I can follow in her footsteps."

Audible | Life Under Fire by Jason Fox
"After becoming a fan watching TV’s SAS - Who Dares Wins, I found this a personally significant read by Jason Fox, veteran of the Special Boat Service, who reflects on his military operations and explores how anyone can build the strength and resilience of an elite soldier. We all face conflict in our daily lives. Some encounters threaten to crush us mentally, others cause anxiety and self-doubt, or damage our confidence."

Film | Top Gun
"Perhaps an obvious or clichéd choice. But having watched it well in excess of one hundred times, it can be the only choice. I am still finding people who haven’t seen it, so my crusade continues. For those that don’t know, The Top Gun Naval Fighter Weapons School is where the best of the best train to refine their elite flying skills.

When hotshot fighter pilot Maverick (Tom Cruise) is sent to the school, his reckless attitude and cocky demeanor put him at odds with the other pilots, especially the cool and collected Iceman (Val Kilmer). But Maverick isn't only competing to be the top fighter pilot, he's also fighting for the attention of his beautiful flight instructor, Charlotte Blackwood (Kelly McGillis)."

Podcast | The Therapy Crouch
"A couples therapy podcast from Abbey Clancy and Peter Crouch. The weekly episodes explore the trials and tribulations experienced by the couple, and you the listener, as they navigate their way around complex relationships. It’s hilarious. The only podcast in quite some time to force a physical smile and a blurt of audible giggle on my daily commute."
