  • Alastair Campbell Part Two: How to manage a crisis

    Alastair Campbell Part Two: How to manage a crisis
    Jan 21 2024
    Sam is joined once again by the writer and political strategist, Alastair Campbell. Alastair is the co-host of The Rest Is Politics podcast but is perhaps best known from his time as ex-Prime Minister Tony Blair’s spokesman, press secretary and director of communications & strategy when he was in power. In this episode, we look at managing crises. Alastair talks about embracing the pressure of knowing that some decisions matter more; but we also discuss the flip side. Alastair talks openly and honestly about living with depression and the importance of having a strong support network. We also talk about the power of clear communication, the importance of having a vision and how he and Tony Blair learnt from Premier League managers.

    Dai Greene: Not talking to my training partner brought the best of me
    Jan 21 2024
    This week on Captains, Sam is joined by former World, European and Commonwealth Champion in the 400m hurdles, Dai Greene. Dai was also Team GB athletics captain at the London 2012 Olympics. Dai talks all about his memories of that summer and how he was able to lead the likes of Jessica Ennis-Hill and Sir Mo Farah, as well talking about the benefits of training with the right people - even if you don't get along. This is a fascinating conversation into the mindset of an individual athlete; the motivation and commitment needed to excel and the drive to continue when others don’t want to.
