In this full length episode of Extraordinary Life Stories, John Reynolds sits down with broadcaster, musician, author and campaigner Myleene Klass for a wide-ranging, deeply human conversation about identity, resilience, and using your voice when it matters most.

Myleene reflects on 25 years in the public eye, from early pop stardom to a career in radio and classical music and why she refuses to stay in one “lane.” She opens up about motherhood across three very different ages, the brutal brilliance of raising teenagers, and the hard-won lessons of boundaries, work ethic, and self-belief.

The conversation takes a powerful turn as Myleene speaks candidly about racism, belonging, and allyship, and about her tireless campaigning to transform miscarriage care, from data collection and access to specialist support, to changing how society talks about loss. Alongside the heavy, there’s humour, warmth, and plenty of “TED Talk” moments, including the surprising ways her kids keep her grounded.

An honest, uplifting episode about pivoting with purpose, building community, and turning personal experience into lasting legacy.

At 24, he turned a side hustle at university into a thriving business. By 35, he’d sold it for $10 million.

In this episode of Extraordinary Life Stories, we sit down with Sam to explore how discovering a simple money-making strategy at university led to a decade-long journey building a subscription business that changed thousands of lives. Instead of keeping his success to himself, he picked up a camera, shared his story, and built a powerful personal brand, long before he even knew that’s what he was doing.

We talk about:

• Making £20,000 at university while others graduated with debt
• Turning knowledge into a subscription business- Why people buy people, not companies
• Handling criticism, hate, and even death threats
• Getting comfortable being uncomfortable
• Authenticity, storytelling, and building trust online
• Why success without purpose can lead to emptiness
• Using social media as a force for good

Now focused on teaching others how to monetise their expertise and build meaningful personal brands, Sam shares why chasing goals matters more than chasing retirement and why fulfilment, not flashiness, is the real definition of success.

In this episode of Extraordinary Life Stories, John Reynolds sits down with Ant Middleton, former Royal Marines sniper and special forces operator to talk about mindset under pressure, leadership, and why Ant says he’s answering a “call back to service” by running for Mayor of London.

Ant breaks down his “Fear Bubble” concept, the moment fear hits, why people freeze, and how to push through it and explains how that same framework applies to business, ambition, and everyday life.

The conversation moves from discipline and routines (Ant argues your night-time routine sets your morning up) to fatherhood, legacy, and the values he’s relentless about at home: respect, manners, and consistency.

They also go deep on what Ant sees as an identity and culture crisis, how frustration turns into anger and violence, and why safety and security are the foundation for trust, unity, and a thriving city. Ant lays out his stance on zero-tolerance policing, accountability in leadership, and why he believes politics has become “military tactics with words.”

It’s a raw, wide-ranging conversation about fear, purpose, responsibility and what it means to stand up when you feel you can’t sit on your hands anymore.
