Welcome to Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained. In this short trailer, hosts Rebecca Rees — an executive coach passionate about how our amazing brains work — and Caroline Bridge — winner of BBC’s Race Across the World — introduce the podcast.

We share why stepping out of your comfort zone matters, what mental fitness really means, and how simple science, good conversation, and a sprinkle of humour (sometimes accidental!) can help us all discover what’s possible when we dare to try.

We’d love to hear from you — your questions, thoughts, or ideas. You can leave us a voice note or message on our Nothing Ventured Nothing Gained WhatsApp +44 7375 220027.

Episode 1 launches on September 19th.
