NB and Gary are back on the sofa at Tatton Perk in Chelford ☕️ for another fascinating episode of Sofa Stories, packed with travel adventures, personal experiences, laughter, serious conversations and plenty of food for thought.
We kick things off on a more serious note, discussing the worrying riots and unrest taking place across France, with tensions also spreading into countries such as Italy. What’s driving it all, who’s behind the unrest, and could we see similar scenes here in the UK?
Then it’s time for some travel inspiration as Gary shares the highlights of his incredible 16-night adventure around Morocco with Amanda, courtesy of Wendy Wu Tours. From exploring the country’s magnificent cities to experiencing the magic of the Sahara Desert, Gary reflects on the beauty, culture, people and unforgettable experiences that made the trip so enriching.
Meanwhile, NB shares a very special visit with Janette and Harrison to CAFT (Children’s Adventure Farm Trust), as guests of Jason Manford. A behind-the-scenes tour of this wonderful charity left NB hugely impressed and inspired by the incredible work being done for children and families.
And then comes a rather funny moment when Gary asks, “NB, why on earth is there a banner of you and Les Dennis in Alderley Edge?” All is revealed as NB explains his upcoming evening hosting the legendary Les Dennis on Saturday 14th November, raising much-needed funds for St Philip’s and St James’s Church.
We finish with something that really makes us both stop and think. Inspired by a thought-provoking quote from our good friend Ben Wain, we explore the fascinating concept of the sunk cost fallacy.
When is it time to let go?
Whether it’s a business project, a relationship, an investment or simply something we’ve poured years of our lives into, how do we recognise when it’s time to move on rather than keep going just because of everything we’ve already invested?
It’s a question that genuinely makes both Gary and NB pause and reflect, and hopefully it’ll do the same for you.
we hope you enjoy
