S1 Ep10: Ben Shephard - "Find a job you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life"

This week on Monday Mile I head to West London and the beautiful open space at Richmond Park, to meet Ben Shephard. We chat all things work, the importance of fitness in his life and how he manages to find the best version of himself not only when on our TV screens, but also when spending precious time at home with his family. He's paved his own way from quite literally "dancing in a leotard" to hosting the crowd at the London Olympics in 2012.  Now fronting GMB, hosting Tipping point and of course to where I first met Ben, which was on the set of Ninja Warrior.  What I really enjoyed about this Monday Mile, was learning just what it takes to be at the top of your game in the media space. We as the public get to see Ben working from 6am on GMB, but we don't get to see behind the scenes and the rigorous hours of commitment to his craft. It's inspired me, and I hope it inspires everyone to keep chasing their own dreams. Former Team GB double winter Olympian Aimee Fuller is on a mission to find the secrets for Monday motivation from some of the most successful sports men and women of our time and other well-known celebrities which will drop every week.  Aimee will be probing for answers from the full spectrum of routines; the early birds who have finely tuned Monday mornings, to the late risers who struggle to get up before 11am. How do elite athletes find the motivation to kick start their week come rain or shine? How do celebrities deliver no matter what the time of day? What knowledge can they pass on?’  Each episode will drop on a Monday morning and plays out in real time. Aimee will meet each of her guests for a walk and a chat and over the course of the mile she will find out how they cope on a Monday morning - their idiosyncrasies, breakfast routines, alarm noises - and how, when they need to, find the motivation to kick-on through the week.  Dropping every Monday as a bitesize 20/25 minute piece of content and weekly dose of motivation - right when you need it - sharing some of Britain's greatest athletes’ secrets on self-motivation, candid thoughts on what they struggle with and a sideways look at some of their more unusual morning habits.
