    Elizabeth Day: Your Twenties Shape the Best Years Of Your Life | GREAT MOMENTS

    Your twenties can feel like A LOT. 


    There’s a pressure to find a job that you love, show up perfectly in your friendships and relationships… and somehow keep up with everyone else. It’s hard not to compare yourself when everyone else seems to have it figured out. 


    Author, journalist and host of the award-winning podcast How to Fail, Elizabeth Day understands that feeling all too well. 


    In this Great Moment, she reflects on how each decade of her life has shaped her, and why reframing the way we think about success is so important. 


    She explains how comparison can fuel self-doubt, and why the lessons we learn along the way are what truly matter.


    Because ultimately, life isn’t a sprint it’s a marathon.

    MOSES ITAUMA: I’m the Future Heavyweight Champion. This is How I’ll Do It

    Moses Itauma is one of the most exciting names in boxing right now. He’s a former European and World Junior Champion who’s widely tipped to become Britain’s next heavyweight superstar.


    I’ve always been really interested in the journey someone goes on before they become the next big thing and that’s exactly where Moses is.


    At just 21, he’s on the brink of greatness as he prepares to face Jermaine Franklin this Saturday night. It’s a world away from where it all began… when he first stepped into a boxing gym aged nine and hated every second of it. From a small town in Slovakia to one of the most talked about heavyweight prospects in the world, Moses’s journey has been anything but ordinary.


    In this episode, Moses shares:

    - Leaving Slovakia at the age of 3 and building a new life in Kent

    - Why he refuses to trash talk his opponents

    - What really happened behind the scenes of his fight with Dillian Whyte

    - What professional boxers actually get paid

    - The mindset, discipline and habits that are taking him to the top


    This isn’t just a conversation about boxing. It’s about resilience, belief and what it really takes to become the very best.


    Moses Itauma is in Great Company.

    FEARNE COTTON: How I Set Boundaries & Stopped Being a People Pleaser

    So many of us grew up watching Fearne Cotton on children’s TV and then later listening to her on Radio 1. She’s a broadcasting icon, bestselling author and someone I’ve looked up to for such a long time. 


    At just 15, Fearne was thrust into the public eye when she began her TV career on Disney Club. With that came a huge pressure to be liked and she felt like she needed to change parts of her personality to fit in and keep people happy. 


    In this conversation, she opens up about how, despite her success, she often felt she didn’t deserve the opportunities she was given. 


    In this episode, Fearne shares:

    • How she has learned to let go of people pleasing
    • Her 10 year battle with anxiety which forced her to step away from live radio and TV
    • How she began working on TV aged just 15 
    • Working with incredible artists like Eminem and Amy Winehouse 
    • Why it’s important to push boundaries and care less about being likeable


    This conversation is an important reminder that when you stop worrying so much about what other people think of you, you give space for the real you to shine.


    Fearne Cotton is Great Company.

    Millie Court first captured the nation’s heart when she won Love Island Series 7 back in 2021. Since then, she’s built a successful career while navigating a relationship and a break-up, all in the public eye.

    Munya Chawawa: Why Comedy Matters Right Now | GREAT MOMENTS

    Munya Chawawa is one of the sharpest and funniest voices on social media, known for his brilliantly observant takes on society, politics and the news cycle. 


    In this Great Moment, he explains why the real satisfaction in comedy comes from holding up a mirror to society - and getting people to question the world around them.


    For Munya, comedy is more than entertainment. It’s a language we all share, and a powerful way to start conversations about the things that can be hardest to talk about.


    Because sometimes the best way to make people think… is to make them laugh first.

    TOM DAVIS: I Lost Friends When I Quit Alcohol - But This Is What It Taught Me

    Tom Davis is one of the funniest people I know. We first met ten years ago on Murder in Successville, the hilarious BBC3 sitcom he co-created with his friend James De Frond. 


    At the time, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. What I didn’t realise then was just how much the show meant to Tom. Murder in Successville wasn’t just another job for him. It was a pivotal moment and there was so much riding on it. 


    This conversation is a rollercoaster. I haven’t laughed that much in a long time - but it also reveals a side to Tom that goes far beyond the laughs.


    In this episode, Tom shares:

    • Why he took a risk on me for the very first episode of Murder in Successville
    • How he desperately wanted to be a dad and feared it might not happen
    • Why he decided to go sober and what it’s taught him 
    • What Timothée Chalamet text him after the Critics Choice Awards
    • What happened when Tom was mistaken for Ed Sheeran’s bodyguard 


    This conversation is a reminder that it’s not always a simple road to success - true success is a journey. 


    Tom Davis is Great Company.
