The Starting Line Podcast, as featured on

Series 2 trailer

Your starting line doesn't have to define you. Life is what we make it.

My upbringing wasn’t great. It teaches you to be hard.

I remember thinking - I have to, and I CAN - break the cycle. That single thought changed my life.

At 17, I dropped out of school. At 18, I became a father for the first time and left the chaos of my family council house without a penny to my name, determined to rewrite my story.

By 30, I was a successful PR agency owner with a #1 best-selling book, working with some of the UK’s leading brands, entrepreneurs and celebrities.

Using that influence, I helped to raise more than £1m for sick children.

Hosted by me, Rich Leigh, The Starting Line Podcast is your weekly dose of inspiring entertainment, featuring powerful conversations with the world's most influential entrepreneurs, entertainers, athletes, philanthropists and thinkers.
