Podcast Series Fail Harder

Emma Jane Purcell chats to people at the top of their game about failure - from their first memory of failure to how they cope with it now.

After fifteen years of chronic heroin addiction, which was so bad he was deemed too much of a risk to detox, Brian has completely turned his life around. He is now a neuro-science lecturer, motivational speaker, life-change strategist and PHD student. He is also the author of the incredible Bonus-Time, a book where he tells his story of surviving the worst and discovering the magic of every day.

But Brian is not here to talk about success - he's here to talk about failure.
