Your mum was very unwell, suffered from terrible mental ill health.

I was brought up in quite a privileged environment, Adrian, so everyone in my life would have thought my life looked really nice.

But you walk through the front door of my house and there was a lot of mad stuff going on, really toxic, poisonous, awful, horrible stuff in my house that no one had any idea about.

And part of that was my mum, well, she was an alcoholic, but on top of that, she was a really severe manic depressive.

I know they call it bipolar, but I've always stuck with manic depression because it was so manic.

And in those days, the treatment was brutal and nobody understood or talked about anything in those days.

So I just was, and I was scared of my dad.

You were bumping along the bottom.

It'd be great to understand where you started from and how did you unlock that move into rally driving?

So I have to give you a little bit of the backstory because it's so relevant.

I grew up in a really nice environment, nice place.

It's just that inside my house, it was dysfunctional.

It was just unpleasant and weird.

And there was lots of stuff going on to the point where my parents divorced at 11 and I went to live with my mom at 14.

I ran away and never went back.

But for our audience, it'd be good to cover off some of the building blocks of how people think about mental toughness so that they're able to then help shape that for their own careers.
