In 2018, at just 17 years old, Ben's world collapsed around him when he tragically and unexpectedly lost his brother to suicide. The loss of Sam, aged only 15 when he died, propelled Ben to take positive action from this tragedy and concentrate his pain into a drive to campaigning around mental health awareness, suicide prevention and fundamentally changing how we approach mental health, especially in schools and the education system.

'Overnight Success' with Tallia Storm

You might recognise singer-songwriter Tallia Storm from your TV screens on shows like Celebs Go Dating and Real Housewives of Jersey. She joins us on the podcast to talk about the real truth behind ‘overnight success’ and opens up about her past in a way she hasn’t ever done before. In this episode of the Talk Twenties Podcast, Tallia discusses some of the real career highs she’s been fortunate to experience, like her break-through moment at 13 when she was asked to open up for Elton John’s concert in Scotland. She also, however, talks candidly about her low moments, such as losing her record deal at 15 and being ‘fooled’ by producers to appear on X Factor: The Band, only for them to mock her and be ridiculed by the media. Tallia Storm has been through a lot, but she is one of the most tenacious and determined celebrities we have ever had on the podcast. Her will to keep pushing herself to learn and grow after 10 years in the limelight is truly inspiring.
