S9 Ep5: Scott Thomas on success, sobriety and his famous family.

On this week’s #MondayMile podcast, I’m joined by entrepreneur, tv presenter and ex-Love Island star Scott Thomas.  When Scott shot to fame in 2016, he was known as a bit of a party animal. In recent years, he’s completely turned his life around after making the decision to go sober. As well as being an obsessive Padel player (like me!), he has several successful business ventures under his belt - a PR agency and a wellness brand, as well as a podcast and a TV series with his brothers Adam Thomas, Ryan Thomas and his late father. We talk about what drove Scott to finally make the decision to give up booze, and how trading in two-day benders for 5am starts has transformed his life. He talks intensely about his drive to succeed in business, and what he thinks about the shadow of Love Island hanging over him. Family is a consistent theme of our chat. Scott opens up about his relationship with his famous brothers, discovering their lineage on Mancs In Mumbai, and how much he loves being an uncle. We also tackle the topic of grief head on, as he tells me how his family banded together to process the loss of their father. Scott's energy and passion for wellness are infectious, and hearing how he turned his life around to achieve his goals is inspiring. Scott, anytime I am in Manchester I'll see you down at the Padel Club in Wilmslow for a doubles match. You and Adam v me and Katya - it's on when he’s finished in the ballroom!
