    In this last episode before Christmas, Tom brings you something a little bit different. A story you might have missed, that's so life affirming you can't help but feel grateful for what you already have and the incredible things you're yet to do. Jonathan Acott is not afraid of a challenge; he's run ultra-marathons, scaled mountains, he's swam lakes, cycled hundreds of miles and is now planning to join the Seven Continents Club, with a marathon on every one. But Jonathan has also lived with Cancer for over a decade, surviving its devastating effects 6 times over. Unsurprisingly, his body and his brain have been to the darkest of places, but his determination to remake and rebuild has led him to achieve the extraordinary.  **Content Warning: Now, this episode explores themes that are not suitable for everyone.

    This time around, Tom finds self-styled musician and guitar obsessive, Dodie Clark, in a padded room at Sony's headquarters. Dodie posted her first song and much of her adolescence online as a teen, but 10 years on she's a world-class songwriter with 13 singles, 4 EP's, and a studio album under her belt. And whilst the gigs are getting bigger, she continues to nurture the digital community that helped her grow, vlogging with the same authenticity and brutal honesty as her teenage self. Together, Tom and Dodie explore the emotion that's poured into their lyrics, and agree, that song-writing is often better than therapy. She also reflects on the outsider mindset, her parents' disapproval and winning their acceptance, as well as the on-stage moment she'll never forget. Learn more about your ad choices.

But they also explore how fame has altered his life, often for the better but sometimes for the worse. Finally, Craig passes the personal advice that helped him, on to Tom.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
