Summary

In her most revealing interview to date, Dannii Minogue talks openly about the pressures of fame, the relentless comparisons with her sister, Kylie, and navigating a divorce that left her broke. It’s an extraordinary conversation with a woman who found fame as a 10-year-old in her native Australia. As a teenager Dannii, signed a record deal and acted in Home and Away. In her early 20s her debut album went Gold in the UK, and she went on to have 9 top 10 singles. Over the course of her music career she has spent over 200 weeks in the official UK chart, sold in excess of seven million records worldwide, and scored a record-breaking 19 Number One dance singles. After a four year stint on The X Factor UK, she now hosts her own queer dating shows ‘I Kissed a Girl’ and ‘I Kissed a Boy’, on BBC3 and iPlayer.

0:00.0	Hello there. Did you know that you can hear all of the things that my guests might have failed to divulge in the main episode by joining us in our subscriber community failing with friends? It's where you will hear really riveting pieces of information like Olivia Atwood's dream date location or Miranda Hart's advice on performing bodily functions in front of your
0:22.3	partner. Just follow the link in the podcast notes and we will see you there.
0:35.7	This podcast is sponsored by Ancient and Brave. The wellness brand that takes ancient wisdom and blends it with modern science, to create a toolkit of award-winning collagen blends and supplements that support whole-body health.
0:48.9	Collagen is super important for strengthening bones, joints and muscles, and it also ensures the elasticity and
0:55.7	strength of your skin, hair and nails. However, from our mid-20s, the body produces less and less
1:01.9	collagen and loses 1% per year. Collagen production decreases dramatically up to the age of 40,
1:09.3	and women lose 30% of their skin's collagen in five years
1:13.4	after the menopause. But happily, Ancient and Brave are here to help with their true
1:19.1	collagen powder. It's tasteless and odourless and dissolves completely, which I love,
1:24.9	because it means you can stir it into any hot or cold drinks, smoothies or food.
1:30.2	What sets ancient and brave apart is their commitment to sustainability. They're a B-Corp and proud

1:43.9	to environmental causes that protect our planet.
1:47.2	So every time you buy from Ancient and Brave, you're not just investing in your well-being,
1:52.9	you're contributing to a healthier planet too.

2:02.9	How to Fail for 20% of your first order. Welcome to How to Fail, the podcast where every week
2:10.0	I ask a new guest about three times they failed and what they might have learnt along the way.
2:15.7	I've thought about packing it in many times.
2:19.3	Yeah, you fail at having good judgment.
2:21.1	You've failed at marriage.
