In this week’s episode I tackle a subject that affects every one of us: how we hold politicians accountable for their behaviour both while they are in office and after they leave public life.

Happy New Year! This first episode of 2026 invites you to reflect deeply on what will truly make it a "happy" year. I explore the powerful connection between happiness and success.

I share how this principle has guided my life - from pursuing justice through law, to promot...

I explore how two powerful books, Forbidden Facts by Gavin ...
