Being famous doesn’t mean you’ve made it. Justin Hawkins, frontman of The Darkness, joins us to discuss the reality behind rock star life — from appearing on Top of the Pops while still skint to the creative disagreements and compromises that come with keeping a band together.
Justin explains why he rarely listens to his own recordings, why he believes modern music has lost its edge, and how YouTube became a financial necessity when touring stopped. He also revisits his chaotic Top Gear appearances, the Ferrari 328 GTS he regrets selling, and why fulfilment matters more to him than happiness.

What does it REALLY take to build a multi-million-pound hypercar company, and why do so many fail before producing a single car? In this episode of Road To Success, Ben sits down with Jens Sverdrup, Executive Chairman of Zenvo Automotive, to uncover the reality behind the world's most exclusive hypercar brands. Having worked alongside some of the biggest names in the industry, including Koenigsegg and Pagani, Jens reveals why even £100 million might not be enough to launch a successful hypercar brand, why he's personally refused to sell cars to certain customers, and the shocking costs of owning and maintaining some of the world's rarest machines. From his relationship with Christian von Koenigsegg to the development of the Zenvo Aurora, Jens shares the lessons he's learned over 30 years in the industry, the secrets behind building a successful hypercar brand, and why money alone will never guarantee success. We also explore the world of billionaire collectors, hypercar investments, Shmee150's influence on Zenvo, and the sacrifices required to turn a childhood dream into reality.
Formula 1 legend and World Champion Nigel Mansell joins Ben Fowler on Road To Success for an extraordinary conversation about his racing career, his fierce rivalry with Ayrton Senna, the terrifying crashes that nearly cost him his life, and why he believes modern Formula 1 has lost some of what made the sport so special. From being told he would never walk again to racing at over 230mph just days after major surgery, Nigel reveals the extraordinary determination and sacrifices behind becoming one of Britain's greatest racing drivers. Nigel opens up about his relationship with Ayrton Senna, his experiences with Ferrari and Enzo Ferrari, the brutal reality of racing in the 1980s and 90s, and his thoughts on Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen and today's generation of F1 drivers. He also shares the heartbreaking moments that changed his life forever, including losing fellow drivers and the near-death experience that saw him being given his last rites. This is Nigel Mansell like you've rarely heard him before. An unforgettable insight into the mindset, courage and determination of a Formula 1 World Champion.
