    “Business Starts And Ends With Credibility” - The Apprentice’s Tim Campbell Gives His Candid Advice!
    Jun 9 2026
    Tim Campbell MBE, entrepreneur, mentor, and the very first winner of The Apprentice, sits down with Ben. Tim takes us back to where it all started, winning the show in 2005 and stepping straight into the business world with Lord Sugar, before going on to build an impressive career of his own. From launching the Bright Ideas Trust to championing social mobility and helping young people start businesses, Tim’s journey is rooted in purpose as much as profit. We get into the realities of starting from scratch, the mindset needed to succeed, and what people often get wrong about building a career in business. Tim also shares honest reflections on resilience, pressure, and what he’s learned from both the highs and the setbacks along the way. Now back on The Apprentice as one of Lord Sugar’s trusted advisers, Tim brings a unique perspective on what it really takes to make it, and how to stay there.

    ‘What You ACTUALLY Need To Know About Skincare’ - Sarah Jossel Get’s To The Truth Of The Beauty Industry
    May 26 2026
    Sarah Jossel, journalist, broadcaster, and beauty editor of the Sunday Times Style, joins Ben for a lively conversation around everything she's learnt working behind the scenes in the beauty industry, which she reveals all on, in her new book Diary of a Beauty Editor. The conversation explores Sarah’s drive to share her knowledge of skincare, and how she’s built trust by making beauty more accessible and transparent. She reflects on how the landscape of beauty, and media more broadly, has evolved, from traditional editorial to today’s fast-moving, social-first world. Above all, she emphasises why honesty is non-negotiable when communicating with her loyal following, and the responsibility that comes with having their trust.
