Charlie Robert "Big Stacks" became an internet sensation after a joke video declaring himself the "UK's Hardest Man" spiralled into a viral phenomenon. What started as comedy quickly attracted fighters, influencers and millions of viewers, turning him into one of social media's most recognisable characters.
But behind the viral clips lies a troubled past. Growing up on a council estate, Charlie spent years involved in crime, violence and prison, accumulating dozens of arrests and multiple jail sentences before eventually deciding to change direction. Now focused on boxing, content creation and building a better future, he reflects on the lessons learned from a chaotic upbringing, the pressures of internet fame, and his ambition to use his experiences to help others avoid the mistakes he made.

Every Friday Dodge gets interviewed by Co-Host Mark Masters (You Are The Media).
Dodge and Mark get into why telling your real story, the hard parts, the chaos, the moments you nearly lost everything - is the most powerful thing any business owner can do. Dodge talks about why people hold back, why dropping the front builds more trust than any polished post, and why the ones who just kept showing up even when people were laughing, are the ones who made it. A straight talking episode for anyone who thinks their story isn't worth telling.
This is Ask Dodge.

Mike Bates opens up about two decades spent on the frontline of Britain’s counter-terror operations - from the aftermath of 7/7 and the Manchester Arena bombing to covert surveillance, terror networks, and life inside one of the country’s most secretive worlds. Living a double life, Mike reflects on the pressure of stopping attacks before they happened, the psychological toll of the job, and the brutal realities he witnessed during the war on terror.
But behind the mission was a man battling trauma, identity, and loss. Mike speaks openly about nearly losing his son, leaving the world that defined him, rowing solo across the Atlantic for charity, and the legal battle surrounding the release of his book. It’s a powerful look at service, resilience, sacrifice, and the cost of living in the shadows.
This is the eventful life of Mr Mike Bates.

From working on naval frigates and ferries to landing life-changing opportunities in Dubai, Kevin reflects on the graft, hustle and instincts that helped him break into one of the most exclusive industries in the world.

He also reflects on the friendships and mentors that changed his life, the moments that nearly broke him, and the mentality it took to keep moving forward when everything was uncertain.

Chris Amey opens up about three decades in policing - from joining the Met in the early nineties to dealing with football hooliganism, riots, major events, and the changing face of the force. From Chelsea, Millwall, West Ham and Tottenham clashes to control rooms, CCTV, public order units and moments of real danger, he reflects on what it was like policing London when the streets could turn quickly.
But behind the uniform was a career shaped by pressure, politics, trauma, and frustration. Chris speaks honestly about austerity, recruitment, falling standards, police pay, vetting failures, misconduct, PTSD, and why he believes modern policing has become fractured. He also reflects on high-profile cases, the Jill Dando murder, the London riots, and the officers he believes have been failed by the system.
After leaving the Met for Dorset, Chris helped tackle crime in Boscombe before later facing his own battle inside the organisation he had served for almost thirty years. It’s a raw look at loyalty, leadership, public service, and what happens when the job changes beyond recognition.
This is the eventful life of Chris Amey.

Every Friday Dodge gets interviewed by Co-Host Mark Masters (You Are The Media).
Dodge and Mark get into the moment every business owner eventually faces, when what you've built starts to outgrow you. Dodge talks about letting go of control, hiring people who are better than you at the things you're not, and why the lifestyle business model beats chasing an empire. He also opens up about spotting a gap in the market during Covid, building and selling a business he never planned to start, and why curiosity and staying nimble will always take you further than having a rigid plan.

Sean Standerwick opens up about building a wealth management business from £20 million to over £260 million, and the lessons learned along the way about money, discipline, and long-term thinking. What started as a traditional, hands-off advisory firm evolved into a modern, high-touch service built around ongoing relationships, smarter investing, and helping clients actually understand how to build real wealth. At its core, it’s not just about numbers - it’s about financial peace of mind, structure, and making better decisions early.
But behind the growth is a much bigger conversation around the realities of money in the UK today. From rising taxes and shrinking allowances to the pressure on business owners and high earners, Sean breaks down how the landscape has shifted - and why so many people are unknowingly leaving money on the table. Simple habits like using ISAs, pensions, and tax-efficient strategies become the difference between stagnation and serious long-term wealth.
Alongside this is a deeply personal journey - navigating a complex family management buyout, balancing business with life, and dealing with the emotional weight of taking over something built by a parent. What followed was a year and a half of intense negotiation, pressure, and growth - ultimately reshaping not just the business, but relationships and perspective.
Now, Sean focuses on helping entrepreneurs and founders build wealth the right way - starting early, thinking long-term, and avoiding the common mistakes that cost people years. It’s a grounded look at money, business, and the habits that quietly separate those who build lasting wealth from those who don’t.
This is the eventful life of Sean Standerwick.

Mathew Pritchard opens up about a life built on chaos, extremes, and reinvention - from skateboarding in Cardiff to becoming one of the most recognisable faces of Dirty Sanchez. What started as mates pushing boundaries on camera became an MTV phenomenon, taking them from the House of Doom to packed festivals, nightclub tours, Gumball Rally madness, and a world where the more outrageous it got, the bigger the reaction became.
But behind the laughs and carnage was a darker reality - years of heavy partying, pressure, fractured friendships, anxiety, addiction, and a lifestyle that eventually caught up with him. From wild nights in Ibiza and live shows across the country to finding himself at rock bottom years later, Matt reflects honestly on the cost of living at full speed for so long.
Now sober, disciplined, and focused on health, he speaks about rebuilding his life through routine, endurance, fitness, therapy, and the support of those closest to him. It’s a story of madness, survival, and finding peace after years of pushing everything to the limit.
This is the eventful life of Mathew Pritchard.

Paul Richardson opens up about a journey defined by instinct, timing, and building one of the most iconic modern business success stories from the inside out. After meeting Gymshark founders Ben Francis and Lewis Morgan in a local gym, he stepped into a business that was already growing fast but lacked structure, systems, and experience. Acting as a “fixer,” he brought organisation, connections, and key people into the business - most notably CEO Steve Hewitt - helping transform Gymshark from a £4.5 million operation into a global powerhouse. What followed was explosive growth, fuelled by early social media, smart branding, and a young, hungry team riding a wave few truly understood at the time.
But behind the billion-pound valuation was pressure, tough decisions, and real growing pains - from resolving founder conflicts and implementing structure, to scaling teams into the hundreds and navigating high-stakes investment deals. Paul reflects on the importance of timing, culture, and having the right people around you, as well as knowing when to step away. After exiting, he’s focused on building again - this time alongside his daughters - applying the same lessons in a more grounded way. It’s a rare insight into what it really takes to scale a business at speed, manage success, and stay in the game long enough to catch the wave.
This is the eventful life of Paul Richardson.

Every Friday Dodge gets interviewed by Co-Host Mark Masters (You Are The Media).
This chat is all about why live experiences are more powerful and more needed than ever, how Dodge went from selling queue jump tickets as a ten year old to building a festival that has sold over a million tickets across nearly two decades, and why in a world of doomscrolling and digital everything, getting people in a room together is becoming the most valuable thing you can offer.
Dodge also opens up about remortgaging his house, signing a ten year personal guarantee and the brutal reality of what it actually takes to build a live event that survives long after the competition has disappeared.

Paul Rooney and Grant Smith open up about a life built on risk, resilience, and relentless graft - from teenage beginnings in the underground music scene to becoming pioneers of the UK rave and events industry. Starting out young, they threw themselves into record production, launched their own label, and quickly learned hard lessons after being burned by shady distributors. As the rave scene exploded, they evolved with it - moving from pressing vinyl and selling records directly to shops, to promoting club nights, running record stores, and staging major events at iconic venues like Bagley’s, Brixton Academy, Alexandra Palace, and the Sanctuary.
But behind the success was constant pressure - financial gambles, volatile crowds, industry setbacks, and moments where one bad call could wipe everything out. From building brands like Dreamscape and One Nation to navigating the shift from underground raves to large-scale festivals, they reflect on a journey shaped by reinvention, risk-taking, and a genuine love for bringing people together. Through it all, their long-standing partnership has remained at the heart of everything - built on trust, instinct, and decades of surviving the highs and lows of the events world side by side.
This is the eventful life of Paul Rooney and Grant Smith.

Every Friday Dodge gets interviewed by Co-Host Mark Masters (You Are The Media).
This chat is all about what it means to back yourself when no one else will, why so many people are held back by the fear of being judged, and why feedback from the right people is the only thing that tells you if you're on the right track.
Dodge talks about building businesses from nothing without outside investment, why you have to promote yourself if you want to make it, and how backing the people around you is just as important as backing yourself.

This chat is all about what it looks and feels like to start something from absolutely nothing, why so many people sit on ideas for years and never act on them, and why naivety and curiosity are more powerful than any business plan.
Dodge talks about the reality of entrepreneurship, the pressure, the sleepless nights, the people who quietly want you to fail and why doing your homework, and just being yourself is what separates the ones who make it from the ones who don't.

Richard Harpin reflects on the journey of building HomeServe from a struggling startup into a multi-billion-pound business - a story shaped by risk, resilience, and relentless belief. From nearly going bust in the early days to transforming a simple plumbing emergency service into a global home assistance giant, he opens up about the pressure, pivots, and hard-won decisions that defined the ride.
He shares the reality behind scaling a company over three decades - making painful mistakes, giving away equity to survive, almost running out of money more than once, and learning when to back people better than himself. From cracking the UK market to navigating the brutal lessons of France, Australia, and America, Richard reveals what it really takes to build internationally, lead through uncertainty, and keep growing without losing focus.
But this isn’t just a story about money. He speaks honestly about the sacrifices behind success - the family time missed, the emotional weight of leadership, and the lessons that only come from building something the hard way. He also reflects on life after the HomeServe sale, why wealth never became the end goal, and why he’s now focused on backing the next generation of entrepreneurs.
This is an insightful look at what it really takes to build at scale, survive the setbacks, and create lasting success.
This is the eventful life of Richard Harpin.
