Why is it that often people with the hardest beginnings in life become the most successful adults? And is there something to learn from those people who perhaps have the strongest sense of what matters most?

In this podcast, formerly known as Past Imperfect, Alice Thomson and Rachel Sylvester chat to extraordinary people who have lived astonishing lives and not only survived, but thrived. 

Sporting icons, remarkable politicians and other well known figures give their first hand account on how they achieved success in the face of adversity. 

Plus, Alice and Rachel reflect on their greatest interviews to date from the Past Imperfect archive with new thoughts and revelations.
