This podcast is brought to you by RailCard. I adore train journeys and actually I've written

a lot of my books on long train journeys and one of the things that makes a train journey

even better is if you know that you are getting amazing value for money and that's why I

adore RailCards because they are such good value. A RailCard is £30 so if you save £10

one trip visiting the family, £20 visiting friends over the weekend, it's already paid

for itself. It's totally worth getting because it makes train travel cheaper and it pays

for itself after just a few journeys. Perhaps you're thinking about planning a little

city break with a friend or a trip away over a weekend or a little adventure by the sea

and if you travel and book together you can take advantage of the two together RailCard

and that saves you even more money. So think about purchasing a RailCard and taking a journey

now on your next adventure. It's more important than ever in the current climate to save money

where we can. Visit railcard.co.uk to buy now. Thank you very much to RailCard.

But within that we explore three different F words. Feelings, friendships and fuel. By fuel

I mean what motivates us by the way I'm not talking about oil or gas or well cheese. We'll

be talking about ambition, motivation and what drove the army sergeant's son who left

school at 15 to find one of the biggest banks in the world and become a billionaire. Has
