Every guest on the show answers a question left by the previous guest, and leaves a new one for the next. It’s how strangers meet each other before they even sit down in the same room. Here’s how the chain has unfolded so far.
“What's one thing you know you don't do particularly well?”
Keira's honest answer: internalising confidence. Despite her achievements — AAT Level 2 at 87%, shortlisted for AAT Apprentice of the Year, advisory council member — the imposter syndrome hasn't caught up with the CV yet.
“Who or what has been the biggest influence on your career, and why?”
Eleanor points to her grandmother — a quiet, steady influence whose example of hard work and care for community shaped how Eleanor approaches her own career.
“If you won the lottery and didn't have to work, would you carry on working?”
Yes — Millie's too active to sit still. She'd probably open a little coffee shop; something social, something people-facing, something with a standing desk.
“If you could pick someone else's job for a week, what would you pick?”
Fighter pilot — Mark's childhood dream was to join the Royal Air Force, but colour-blindness ruled it out.
“If you could stop what you're doing today and take up a hobby, what would that be?”
Walk the coastal path the whole way around the country — probably in sections, starting somewhere flat and undulating before tackling the harder, hillier bits.
“If kindness was a currency, how could you spend £10 today?”
Buy sweets for everyone in her household sitting exams — her daughter is about to start GCSEs — as a small kindness recognising how fantastic they're being at it.
“What piece of legislation would you change, if you could, and why?”
Implement a land value capture mechanism on all public projects. The Jubilee Line extension cost about £3 billion to build but generated roughly £13 billion of property-value uplift within a kilometre of each new station — captured entirely by existing landowners. Some of that value could be paid forward into other public projects. Not a new idea — Winston Churchill argued for it pre-Conservative-party days.
“If you could take one word from another language that really does heavy lifting in that language, and add it to English, what would that word be?”
