Road To Success with Benedict Fowler

What happens when everything you thought mattered… suddenly doesn’t?
In this episode of Road To Success, I sit down with Dr Alex George for one of the most honest conversations we’ve ever had on the podcast.
We talk about success, identity, cars, grief, anger, and the moments in life that completely change your perspective.
Alex opens up about:
Working hard and buying his dream car

Why success and material things can feel like they have “zero value” from the inside

Losing his brother to suicide and how that moment reshaped everything

Feeling anger after loss — and why that’s a normal human emotion

Not defining yourself by your job or public identity

Why most of the things we worry about never actually happen

This isn’t a conversation about titles or achievements.
It’s about what really matters when life strips everything else away.
If you’ve ever chased success, struggled with grief, or questioned what a meaningful life actually looks like — this episode will stay with you.

Not because he shouted the loudest or pushed the hardest, but because he kept saying yes, kept turning up, and kept driving.This isn’t a polished success story.It’s a conversation about risk, humility, timing, and what success actually means when your only goal was to drive as well as you possibly could.Don’t forget to subscribe to our channel for more exciting content about your favourite shows and celebrities.
