695 - JOE WICKS - The Nation’s Favourite PE Teacher on Addiction, Health Fads, & Building A Fitness Empire From An Empty Park

Covid lockdown phenomenon and PE teacher to the nation Joe Wicks joins us for a conversation covering all things nutrition and fitness. From growing up on a council estate with a mum struggling with OCD and eating disorders and a dad battling heroin addiction, to years of grinding before the fame and cycling to parks to run bootcamps where sometimes nobody turned up, to World Record breaking viewing numbers on his ‘PE with Joe’ lockdown livestreams. 

Joe tells us about his unlikely stint as a Dragon on Dragons’ Den, his trip to Windsor to collect his MBE, and what can be achieved with just a 15 minute workout. We cover Joe’s new series ‘Health or Hype’ and the increasingly strange experiments he puts himself through in the name of finding out what actually makes us healthier. There’s also a deep dive into Jaack’s Deliveroo history and Joe is NOT impressed by his dietary choices…
