Keith McNicol opens up about growing up in care from the age of three, building one of the South Coast’s most iconic independent fashion stores and surviving nearly four decades in an industry that can change overnight.

Born in Glasgow in 1958, Keith spent his childhood moving between care homes in London, Torquay, Poole and Swanage. Raised by nuns and later told by his headmaster he’d never make anything of himself, Keith found his escape in music and fashion before making his way to Bournemouth and starting a life of his own.In 1988, he opened Richmond Classics on Richmond Hill and began travelling across Europe hunting down the latest brands, bringing clothes back from Paris and turning the shop into a destination people travelled from London to visit. An FHM feature sent the business to another level, while buying trips around the world saw Keith discover brands including Von Dutch, Ed Hardy, True Religion and Juicy Couture. But it wasn't always glamorous. His shop was ram-raided, broken into repeatedly and, after 28 years on Richmond Hill, Keith was forced out of the building he had made his home.

Now heading into his 39th year with Richmond Classics, Keith has survived the internet, Covid and the decline of the traditional high street by sticking to what made the shop special in the first place: personality, knowledge and genuine one-to-one service. From growing up in care to travelling the world through fashion, his story is one of resilience, survival and doing what you love.

This is the eventful life of Keith McNicol.

From street fights and prison to broken jaws, mental health struggles and a battle with bulimia, Dan shares the highs and lows behind the fighter people see in the ring.

Raised around fighting, Dan grew up watching his father and family members scrap, eventually finding his own path through judo, boxing and bare knuckle fighting. He opens up about the viral night out dressed as women that led to a fight, breaking his jaw in the ring, and how ADHD shaped his ability to stay focused on one thing. After years of drinking, fighting and trying to prove himself, Dan reveals how he reached one of the darkest points of his life, attempting to take his own life on his son's birthday in 2017. He speaks honestly about living with bipolar disorder, ADHD and suicidal thoughts, losing friends to suicide, and how the gym and fighting helped save him.

Today, Dan continues to fight while using his platform to raise awareness of autism, inspired by his son Theo, who is autistic and non-verbal. He talks about the challenges of raising a child with autism, the abuse he faced online, and the anger he felt when strangers targeted his son. From winning British and world titles to battling bulimia, addiction to alcohol and his own mental health, Dan shares how his children gave him a reason to keep going.

What if ADHD isn't holding you back, but the very thing that's driven your success? Dodge Woodall opens up about growing up above pubs, taking business risks from the age of ten, and why he doesn't believe in failure.

Dodge sits down with the ADHD Beyond the Label team to explore how his ADHD, love of risk, and natural ability to connect with people have shaped his entrepreneurial journey. From selling nightclub tickets and toys as a kid to building businesses, selling over a million event tickets, and pivoting into Eventful Lives during lockdown, Dodge shares how he's always seen obstacles as problems to solve rather than reasons to stop. He opens up about the dopamine, chaos, and sleepless nights that come with entrepreneurship, why he believes you have to love what you do, and how his ADHD has shaped the way he approaches business, people, and life.

Anthony Noble opens up about serving drugs to a corrupt cop, nine years in prison, building a £12 million empire and losing it all to cocaine and gambling - before rock bottom led him to help others break free from addiction.

Raised by loving parents Lynne and John, Anthony found solace in dance from age six, traveling the world before depression pulled him back to his parents' house after overstaying his Australian visa at sixteen. Cocaine was meant to ease the pain - it became his life for twenty years. He started serving up to drug dealers to fund his habit, unknowingly becoming entangled in a corruption investigation when he delivered an ounce to an undercover officer. That drop changed everything. Prison, he says, saved his life. But clean on the other side, Anthony rebuilt - hard. Within three years he'd scaled a facilities management company from £700k to £12 million turnover. Behind the Rolexes, the yacht, and the flash was a man sniffing 6-10 grams daily, gambling his wins away on slots and horses, buying things to fill an empty soul. Then COVID hit, the business collapsed, and he ended up living in a van, showering at the gym.

The real breaking point came when his unborn son was diagnosed with a rare brain disease. After weeks at Great Ormond Street, Anthony held his dying boy in his arms and pressed the button to turn off the machine. He spiralled back into cocaine and pills for months before his parents took him back in - no drugs, no drinking, just the gym and a desperate search for answers. Now five years clean, Anthony has studied human behavior, psychology and neurology. He built the "Noble Reset" - a framework that rewires the eight to ten life elements driving addiction - and mentors men through recovery. He's done ayahuasca in Peru to process his grief, rebuilt his relationship with his daughter, and recently watched his father tell him: "I'm so proud of you."

This is the eventful life of Anthony Noble.

Matt Robson opens up about how he went from airline pilot to building a multi-million pound property business and the mindset that turned quality properties into serious money.

Never comfortable as an employee, Matt was flying for Cathay Pacific in Hong Kong making five figures monthly when the market priced him out. So he started buying back home in Middlesbrough for £100,000 - pulling 6-7 percent yields. By 2016, he had a dozen properties generating income while he slept. Mates kept asking for advice, so he built a website and started a business. His first deal: a house on a £110,000 street that he got for £77,000.

What he discovered changed everything - cheap properties are a false economy. Tenants respect nice things and they hold value. Quality stock in the sweet spot compounds. Now running a multi-million pound operation, he's spotted what everyone's missing: Middlesbrough is changing. Treasury relocating. Net Zero Teesside launching. A million pounds there gets you a spectacular house. Same million in Bournemouth gets a decent semi. His philosophy: every day, get one percent better.

This is the eventful life of Matt Robson.
