  • This episode is brought to you by Lloyd's, which has been backing British ambition for over 250 years.

  • Now, when you think about it,

  • every dynasty in history has boiled down to two important elements, aspiration, and action.

  • And a classic example of this from British history, the rise of the House of Wessex,

  • the family of Alfred the Great and his heirs, who between them established the United Kingdom of England.

  • Yeah, it's a great story, isn't it, Tom?

  • A great lesson in leadership, I think, for anybody.

  • So Alfred and his heirs, they marry idealism and pragmatism.

  • They're brilliant at alliances.

  • They're brilliant at managing power.

  • They're brilliant, of course, at managing their money, which is a key part of political leadership.

  • And of course, we are all reaping the rewards of their wisdom and foresight.

  • When it's time to make your next move, you can bank on Lloyd's to be ready when you are.

  • Because from new businesses to new homes and new life chapters, backed by generations of hope and ambition,

  • you can see, Tom, why 14 million people trust Lloyd's to help make their dreams a reality.

  • Based on Lloyd's internal customer data from March 2026. I sold my car in Carvana last night.

  • Well, that's cool.

  • No, you don't understand.

  • It went perfectly.

  • Real offer, down to the penny.
