This episode is all about how you can get ahead. By learning to play, and win the games that we all know are there, but nobody talks about.
Tim meets Will Storr - an award-winning British author, investigative journalist, and narrative researcher, who’s an expert in two key things: Status and Storytelling.

Welcome back to a brand new season of re:WORKING

Today, Tim is joined by one of the UK's most recognisable and successful media personalities, Rochelle Humes.

From topping the charts with The Saturdays to becoming a television presenter, author, entrepreneur and founder, Rochelle has built a career that spans multiple industries. Millions of people know her from their TV screens, but behind the scenes she's spent years learning how to back herself, take risks and build businesses from the ground up.

Tim speaks to Rochelle about why so many people wait until they feel "ready" before making a move.

From her first jobs as a teenager to launching My Little Coco and her latest skincare brand, Rochelle shares the lessons she's learned from navigating fame, business and the pressure that comes with constantly stepping into something new.

Tim and Rochelle discuss:
- Why you don't need to feel confident before taking action
- The myth of being "ready" for the next opportunity
- Going from pop star to entrepreneur
- Why you shouldn't quit your job to start a business
- How to identify the things you're naturally good at
- The mistakes that taught Rochelle the most about business
- Why success can feel lonely
