Trevor Woodman is an Rugby World Cup winner. One of only 30 Englishmen to win and lift the Webb Ellis Cup.

And yet, if you walked into his house, you wouldn’t know it - he never framed a shirt, and doesn't have anything out that highlights his incredible achievements.

In this wide-ranging and deeply reflective conversation, Trevor opens up about growing up in Cornwall, breaking into professional rugby, feeling like an outsider at Gloucester at first, and the physical toll that ultimately ended his career.

We talk honestly about injuries, ambition, regret, and why chasing “the next thing” can quietly rob you of contentment. Trevor shares why he still describes himself as having “only 22 caps”, why he never did frame an England shirt, and what he learned from watching others chase what they didn’t have.

This is a conversation about reaching the pinnacle of elite sport, yes, but more than that it’s about identity, perspective, and learning when enough really is enough.

A thoughtful, grounded episode with one of rugby’s most quietly impressive figures.

Interviews that might just change your life. And if not…? You’ll probably enjoy them anyway.

While we're all trying to be better versions of ourselves, this podcast asks: 'what's truly possible?'

Project Possible, hosted by me, Rich Leigh, explores this with incredible guests from the world of business, sport, entertainment and academia.

Between the second and third series, I made the decision to go full-time on this show.

I sold my successful 10 year old PR agency after my youngest brother Jordan took his own life. I realised that I needed to run towards passion, purpose and positive impact, and my dream of this being my career.

This is my second solo episode.

Fifty episodes into the podcast feels like a good moment to pause and reflect.

In this, I talk honestly about where I’m at right now — with the podcast, with life, with grief, with ambition, and with the idea of progress when life doesn’t go in a straight line.

I share what I’ve learned from the first 50 episodes, how my interview style has changed, why fame isn’t the goal, and some of the most surprising lessons my guests have taught me along the way.

I also talk openly about health, guilt, loss, and the painful tension between gratitude and sadness.

This episode finishes with a listener Q&A and a reminder I probably needed to hear myself:

Moving slowly is still moving.

Thank you for being here.

In this episode, I sit down with Richard Browning.

Richard is the founder of Gravity Industries, former Royal Marines reservist, entrepreneur and known to millions as the real-life Iron Man!

Richard and I first worked together back in 2017 when Gravity launched to the world, and since then he’s flown jet suits across 50+ countries, worked with elite military and medical teams, built a global business worth $100 million and learned a huge amount about risk, innovation and resilience along the way.

But this isn’t just a conversation about technology or flight. We talk about grief, loss and the moments that shape who we become.

We talk about the huge gaps in education when it comes to innovation and entrepreneurship, and what could be done about it.

Richard opens up about the impact of losing his 'wonderful, creative, maverick inventor' father to suicide as a teenager.

He talks about how that experience fuelled his drive to build and to push boundaries, and why resilience matters more than ever - not just in entrepreneurship, but in life.

We get into:
• why he set out to build a jet suit with no business plan
• the hidden reality of risk, failure and experimentation
• military and medic use-cases that save time - and lives
• how grief changed his outlook on fear and challenge
• the role of resilience in innovation and society
• what flying actually feels like… and why he doesn’t dream of it anymore

This is a conversation about possibility, courage and what happens when we decide not to be defined by the hardest moments in our lives.
