  • £200 MILLION to MAXIMUM SECURITY PRISON - THE INSANE STORY OF RIORDAN MAYNARD
    This episode is a little bit different: it’s with someone whose name I doubt you’ll know, but it’s a story which, as soon as I heard, I knew I wanted to share with you all on Great Company.Riordan Maynard was a high flying business man until one day it all came crashing down - he doesn’t shy away from the crimes he committed - but they resulted in him serving almost seven years in a maximum high security prison in the states for tax fraud. Promised a low-security camp to serve his sentence, instead he was sent to a maximum security prison, he came into contact with real violence and aggression.Riordan doesn’t hold back about the realities of life in prison - how it almost broke him, spiralling mentally, and riddled with guilt for leaving his family without provision. But that time away also taught him mental resilience and he has since come out a different man.This is a raw, powerful conversation about accountability, redemption and the strength of the human mind to shift, even when in the darkest of places.You can also follow us on Instagram and Tiktok @greatcompanypodcast and if you've got thoughts, questions and comments, you can email us at [email protected] to expect in this episode:Writing letters from prisonBeating boredom and making the most of each dayHow I became a businessmanBreaking ground in the mobile phone gameHow I ended up behind barsWhen the business started to fall apartThe morning of the arrestThe charges brought against meFirst impressions of prison lifeHow I felt being found guiltyFighting the temptation to go on the runWhy prison was actually good for meHow brutal those first few months inside wereBeing forced into a gang while in prisonWitnessing a prison murderMy first night behind barsThe impact it had on my familyThe moment I realised I could change my mindsetThe Final Eight Questions--THE CREDITSExec Producer: Jemima RathboneAssistant Producer: Gurlina HeerVideo: Jake Ji & Ryley KirbySocial Media: Laura CoughlanGreat Company is an original podcast from JamPot Hosted on Acast.

  • JAMIE LAING: THE UNEXPECTED COST OF RUNNING 5 ULTRAMARATHONS
    In March 2025, I embarked on probably the hardest challenge of my life, running from London to Manchester, completing five ultramarathons in five days with Radio 1 for Comic Relief.I don’t think anyone anticipated how big the challenge would become - nor did I fully appreciate the scale of what I was undertaking, but needless to say it was a life changing experience and raised £2.26million for an incredible cause.I wanted to bring you - our wonderful Great Company listeners - a bonus episode of the show, to dive back into that week and give you insight into my reasons for running and the toll it took on me mentally.To be totally honest, I’ve not quite felt fully back to normal since completing the challenge, but I wanted to be open with you all and say that wherever you are, and whatever you’re going through, you really are not alone - people are truly amazing and when we support each other, the world is a much brighter place that it can seem. It’s ok to admit when you’re not OK - in fact, it’s more than OK, it’s incredibly strong.So, after a few weeks to reflect, here’s my open and honest account of that wild week in March, when we ran from London to Manchester.Jamie xYou can also follow us on Instagram and Tiktok @greatcompanypodcast and if you've got thoughts, questions and comments, you can email us at [email protected] CREDITSExec Producer: Jemima RathboneAssistant Producer: Gurlina HeerVideo: Jake Ji & Ryley KirbySocial Media: Laura CoughlanGreat Company is an original podcast from JamPot Hosted on Acast.

  • KANE BROWN: AMERICA'S HOTTEST COUNTRY STAR OPENS UP
    Kane Brown is a trailblazer in country music, with two diamond records, platinum albums, and chart-topping collaborations that have set him apart. Despite his massive success, his path has been anything but easy: Kane is someone who finds it hard to open up, so I was honoured to get a chance to sit down with him…We started by talking about emotions—how Kane’s struggle to feel them deeply stems from a tough childhood marked by abuse from his stepdads, and constantly moving, attending over a dozen schools. He shared how depression made happiness feel out of reach, but learnt to communicate through his music which has gone on to connect with millions of people - starting on Facebook and refusing to quit, he built his profile to be one of the biggest country stars of today. Kane also shared with me how his understanding of success has changed since becoming a father: his children are his greatest success.This conversation is the epitome of showing resilience; the strength to keep going, find hope, and change your own path, even when life feels impossible.You can also follow us on Instagram and Tiktok @greatcompanypodcast and if you've got thoughts, questions and comments, you can email us at [email protected] CREDITSExec Producer: Jemima RathboneAssistant Producer: Gurlina HeerVideo: Jake Ji & Ryley KirbySocial Media: Laura CoughlanGreat Company is an original podcast from JamPot Hosted on Acast.

  • DR RANGAN CHATTERJEE: CHRONIC STRESS IS LOWERING YOUR LIBIDO
    Have you ever listened to a podcast and felt it’s changed your life? That happened to me when I listened to an episode of my guest today’s podcast at one of my lowest points. It’s one of the reasons I love podcasting - that ability to really connect and speak to people, and I was so delighted to welcome Dr Rangan Chatterjee onto my own podcast today…Dr Rangan is one of the UK’s most well-known doctors, but he’s also a best-selling author and host of the aforementioned, hugely successful podcast, Feel Better, Live More. We talked about stress—what it really is, how it can spiral into anxiety, and how it is driving the growing issue of low libido in younger age groups. Rangan shared his unique perspective on regrets, and he shared some useful tips on how to change your mindset and grow healthier habits.He also shared two powerful questions he asks himself every morning to start the day feeling empowered, along with his advice for anyone struggling to see how life can get better.This conversation was a reminder that small, consistent actions can have a huge impact—and that showing compassion to others and ourselves matters more than we realise.You can also follow us on Instagram and Tiktok @greatcompanypodcast and if you've got thoughts, questions and comments, you can email us at [email protected] Dr. Rangan Chatterjee’s new book Make Change That Lasts here: https://drchatterjee.com/books/make-change-that-lasts/--THE CREDITSExec Producer: Jemima RathboneAssistant Producer: Gurlina HeerVideo: Jake Ji & Ryley KirbySocial Media: Laura CoughlanGreat Company is an original podcast from JamPot Hosted on Acast.

    Jessie Reyez is a Canadian singer-songwriter who’s worked with the likes of Eminem, Duo Lipa, Calvin Harris - she’s a real musician’s musician, but the thing that has always struck me about Jessie was her energy: her music oozes emotion so I was excited to get her in the studio to chat.Jessie chatted to me about those big emotions she feels - how music saved her from the depths of depression age 16 and has continued to be a necessary outlet for her feelings. She opened up about her sobriety, sharing that even though she is nearly two years sober, she still misses alcohol during her lowest moments, but she is clear that life is so much better now. Jessie also bravely spoke about a producer who took advantage of her, without naming names, and why she the felt guilt in the aftermath of it all.This conversation was a powerful reminder of the importance of giving yourself space to feel and process your emotions and how strength often comes from leaning into those lows.You can also follow us on Instagram and Tiktok @greatcompanypodcast and if you've got thoughts, questions and comments, you can email us at [email protected] Jessie's new album Paid in Memories here: https://www.jessiereyez.com/--THE CREDITSExec Producer: Jemima RathboneAssistant Producer: Gurlina HeerVideo: Jake Ji & Ryley KirbySocial Media: Laura CoughlanGreat Company is an original podcast from JamPot Hosted on Acast.
