‘Don’t be scared of taking a risk, else you’ll get stuck.’

Welcome to a first for The Next Chapter. Our first Next, Next Chapter Episode!!!

I am delighted and thrilled to welcome back one of my first and very special guests: John Scott.

All my Next Chapter guests are special but those who came on in the very first series are extra special as they had no idea what this podcast was – or if I could do what I hoped I’d do.

John’s appearance was S1 Ep2. (I would highly recommend you listen to this if you haven’t already.) He’s brilliant, fun and what a story. We talk about life as a Hollywood costume maker when he worked on films like Four weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill, Tomb Raider and some of the Bond films. Then, he was a regular face on national television shows like Lorraine and This Morning and when I last spoke to him, he was hosting his own sewing channel and show.

Since then, it’s no surprise John has had even more Next Chapters – including writing and publishing a book (which sold out in minutes) and now he’s starting his very own television platform called Threads of Life. It’s exciting, ground breaking and brilliant- just like John.

In this episode he tells us how there is an actual real-life Princess John Scott in the world (I kid you not), how he manages his energy and why he has no plans to stop yet, in fact looking into the future may be another Next Chapter - watch this space.

John has one of the warmest and most engaged audiences I’ve known on this podcast – which I suppose is no surprise. He is so supportive, wonderful and engaged too. I am so honoured to have him back here again.
