Sometimes life doesn't go as planned. In this episode, I share the story of a call from my son's school that changed my day in an instant and what it taught me about real wealth, freedom, and being present for what matters most. I reflect on what real wealth looks like, not in bank accounts or net worth, but in the freedom to stop, respond, and be present when life happens. I also talk about why I wrote Your Journey to Financial Freedom as a roadmap and guide, and how the new paperback edition includes a bonus chapter to help navigate unexpected detours, setbacks, and uncertainty. This episode is about presence, perspective, and the true meaning of financial freedom and it's a reminder that your journey is yours, detours and all. In this episode I share: Freedom isn't just financial it's the ability to make choices when life happens. Real wealth is the flexibility to be present for what truly matters. Your financial journey is a roadmap, not a rigid plan detours are part of the process. Life happens. You're not failing. You're living.

As we celebrate the holidays and the year comes to a close, I reflect on the journey behind my book, Your Journey to Financial Freedom, and share why the upcoming paperback edition feels especially meaningful. I also open up about what financial freedom looks like beyond hitting a specific number, why flexibility and choice matter more than perfection, and how having a framework not a rigid plan has helped me adjust as life has changed. This episode is both a behind-the-scenes look at the book and a reminder that meaningful progress starts by simply beginning. In this episode, I discuss: Why I wrote Your Journey to Financial Freedom and the gap I wanted it to fill beyond the podcast How my life and mindset have shifted since the hardcover release and why pivots are a natural part of the journey What's new in the paperback edition, including updated numbers, a bonus chapter, and a built-in book club guide Why planning for uncertainty is just as important as planning for growth How financial independence is really about having choices, not just reaching a FIRE number What's New in the Paperback Edition of Your Journey to Financial Freedom: A bonus chapter: When Life Happens: Staying on the Path to Financial Freedom Through Setbacks, Shifts, and Uncertainty A book club and discussion guide with prompts, exercises, and action steps Updated corrections from the original hardcover Exclusive bonuses when you purchase the paperback, including: The Fire Starter Course The Find Your FIRE Number Worksheet Other related blog posts/links mentioned in this episode: Get your paperback edition of Your Journey To Financial Freedom if you haven't already.

In these divided times I thought it would be good to reach out across the political divide and get the creator of Jonathan Pie back on. Tom's recent video on discourse provides a great jumping off point for several discussions following the murder of Charlie Kirk (plus we also ask who has more fun, lefties or righties). Then it's on asking 'What is the point of the Lib Dems'? We have slightly differing views on the efficacy of one man banter-train Ed Davey.

In this episode I ponder the frankly preposterous notion that something may have gone right for Keir Starmer. I also have a good laugh delving into the shambles around the launch of the Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana party - plus give my view on Jimmy Kimmel's cancellation for his monologue on the MAGA reaction to Charlie Kirk.

With Donald Trump set to whirlwind into the UK on Tuesday myself and Jacob Hawley wonder out loud what could go wrong. Has Starmer slept at all in the build up? Will the King go on a weird one? Will Donald bounce Keir on his knee? We also talk about the sad death of Ricky Hatton and try to work out how blokes can keep an eye on their mates....oh and there's a theory as to why Mandelson might've been like a creepy Rory Delap.

So in this episode we have a subject which you can joke about and one which isn't funny at all. On the one hand Peter Mandelson leaves Govt AGAIN, and reminds us that New Labour are something like the British version of the deep state. At the other end of the spectrum there was the disturbing murder of US political activist Charlie Kirk. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There's No Bloke Without Fire'.

The ever so naughty Scott Capurro rejoined us this week (trigger alert for any Royal fans or menopausal women). We caught up on a tumultuous long weekend for the govt. From Rayner going to reshuffles and the return of flag nemesis Emily Thornberry. We also discuss Reform's conference and the surprise star in sequins. In the Patreon only we chat about the big marches in London this weekend and why the media might not be ready for what unfolds... CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There's No Bloke Without Fire'.

Could've done an episode every day this week! From Linehan getting nicked to the Rayner revelations it's felt like a lifetime since Monday.

Great show this week as Andrew returns to discuss another shock poll for Reform (aren't they all these days?). We also suggest that - following his recent social media update - Keir Starmer should never speak in public again. Then I ask Mr Doyle about life in the U.S and whether our apocalyptic perception of their politics is in any way accurate. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There's No Bloke Without Fire'.

The excellently insightful Alun Cochrane joined me to ponder whether Angela Rayner is either very normal, or not as normal as she makes out. We also look ahead to Labour going back to school and whether they'll end up taxing luxury dogs. Then we contemplate why young women are moving to 'extreme' left wing politics.

In this week's breaking news I'm trying to work out how Keir 'Britain is Broken' Starmer can pivot to an 'everything's fine' narrative.. I also look at the phenomenon of English flags appearing and ask what the progressive can really say in response. Then it's a good old rant about Lewis Goodall's idea that we should have 100% inheritance tax. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There's No Bloke Without Fire'.

The brilliant Dominic Frisby joins me to mull over Trump's attempts to bring peace to the world (and whether it would be sped up by Vladimir Putin finally coming out). We also talk about how you can openly call for violence but still be found not guilty of calling for violence. Dom then explains his excellent new book about Gold while I ask dumb questions.

As I'm still up at the Fringe I've been fascinated by wee Nicola's PR tour for her book where it turns out she did nothing wrong and everyone should just be nicer to her. I also reflected on a whopping 0.3% quarter of economic growth and even more impressive growth in the number of illegal boat crossings.

The brilliant Rachel Fairburn returns this week. We ask whether pensioners right to protest should be protected or if they should be lobbed in a meat-wagon like anyone else. There's also talk of Starmer's unconvincing attempts to become a right-wing Harman. We then reflect on the Edinburgh Fringe and how it got progressively less funny.

Had to do another episode ahead of going away until next Friday, not least because Ole Slippery Starmer's Palestine plan seems to be unravelling quickly - even for him.

Delighted to welcome back fellow veteran clubber Ian Stone this week. As Parliament headed to recess it gave us the chance to consider the water review (and make puns about it). We also reflected on giving 16 year olds the vote (they'll probably end up voting for Nigel or Jeremy). Then we chatted Trump for the first time in a while: is he on the Epstein list? Is he going a bit mad? All shall be revealed... ATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There's No Bloke Without Fire'.

Iain Dale joined this week to talk to me about his new biography on Magaret Thatcher. We discussed the biggest misconceptions about the the Iron Lady (including how left-wing she was as education secretary and might not have been the first 'milk snatcher'). We also discuss solid reasons why modern politicians are unlikely to ever match her grit, even if she remains a divisive figure. In the Patreon only section I ask Iain how Lady Thatch would've approached this week's spending review. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There's No Bloke Without Fire'.

WMPT favourite Dom Frisby was back on the show to discuss Starmer's big talk on defence. Do the policies match up? And should we show our kids rubbish war films? We also talk about whether the Left teasing Trump led to a rise in steel tariffs (and why we love the way he says 'nasty'). In the Patreon only section we ask if the French are losing their cool as they ban smoking on beaches. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There's No Bloke Without Fire'.
