Summary

It was an honour to record this episode. We overuse words such as ‘hero’ and ‘inspiration’ but Sir Chris Hoy is both. Not only is he one of Great Britain’s most successful Olympic athletes (during a record-breaking career as a sprint cyclist, he won six gold medals, one silver medal, and 11 world championships) but he’s currently living with a Stage 4 prostate cancer diagnosis. In September 2023, a seemingly routine trip to the doctor’s turned into a waking nightmare when he was given between two and four years to live. His beloved wife Sarra was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis a month later. And yet, these two extraordinary people say they are lucky. Listen to this episode if you want to feel joy, hear wisdom and learn how to live with love in the face of death. Sir Chris - you’re an amazing human being. Thank you for spending this precious time with me. If you or someone you love is going through a mental or physical health challenge, as Sir Chris Hoy says: you are not alone. You can call the Samaritans 24/7 on 116 123.` All That Matters by Sir Chris Hoy is out now. Have something to share of your own? I'd love to hear from you!

0:00.0	Do you want your Christmas shopping experience to be enjoyable, stress-free and all in one place?
0:05.4	Of course you do. Well, allow me to remind you about one of my favourite shopping destinations,
0:10.9	the one and only Bista Village. Not only do they offer amazing savings in their leading fashion
0:16.1	and lifestyle boutiques, but they've added new brands such as Charlotte Tilbury, Bayreido and a Nina Bing.
0:22.4	Bista Village is in a tranquil setting in the Oxfordshire countryside with free parking if you
0:26.9	want to drive, or it's just an hour on the train from London. To get you into the holiday spirit,
0:32.2	there's also live festive music, Lynts' first chocolate bar, yum, a scent experience and festive menus at the Cotswold Guy,
0:40.6	Viro Latte and Oliphants, plus five-star services such as hands-free shopping, reserved parking,
0:47.7	and restaurants such as farm shop or Latua pasta. And until the 26th of January 2025,

1:03.0	magical experience. T's and C's Apply. This episode is brought to you by Monzo Business. Being your
1:09.7	own boss can be a love-hate thing. You get to follow your
1:12.8	passions, have autonomy over the decisions you make and create your own schedule, but there always
1:18.4	seems to be a multitude of admin tasks that can get in the way of what you do best. Believe me,
1:23.9	I know. When I first went freelance, I used to put off invoicing until the last possible
1:28.4	minute because I knew it would take me so long to go through all the emails and receipts
1:32.9	and then having to chase the unpaid ones and keep track took even longer. It was a nightmare.
1:38.8	At Monzo Business, they love to automate the things you and I hate, like outdated accounting faf.
1:45.3	You can share your balance and transactions to Google Sheets from the app and seamlessly integrate
1:50.6	with zero, free agent or QuickBooks. It's all about getting back to doing what you love.
1:56.3	It's why they're voted smart money people's best business banking provider 2024. Impressive. If you're ready
