Richard Bacon returns to his broadcasting roots with a new ongoing interview series asking successful people the question that keeps him up at night: Why Are You More Successful Than Me?
More about the show
Richard meets people he believes are more successful than him to ask them why. Don’t be thinking Richard isn’t successful. He is. He’s doing absolutely fine. But this series isn’t about Richard’s insecurity. It’s about curiosity, ambition and what really drives people who operate at the top of their fields.
