"I was just 5 steps from losing £100,000" - Shaq Brown on winning C4's Hunted

Project Possible with Rich Leigh - interviews that might just change your life

Show Notes

Five steps. A few feet.

That’s how close Shaq Brown came to being caught in Channel 4's Hunted.

He went on the run for 21 days with just £50 and no phone.

He had to survive as a fugitive while experts used every tool available to track him.

On Day 3, his partner - brother-in-law Warren - was captured.

For the next 19 days, he was alone.

In this conversation, he takes me inside what it really feels like to be hunted - the adrenaline, the paranoia, the split-second decisions, the sacrifice of comfort, and the instincts that kept him one step ahead.

We get into behind-the-scenes aspects of the show you might have always wanted to know, and Shaq tells me what it was like to be the solo winner of the biggest prize ever won on the show: £110,000!

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.

Possibilists, pull up a pew.
