PROFESSOR GREEN: Diagnosed With Autism At 40 & Why Working Class Men Are Lost

Stephen Manderson aka Professor Green, in today’s episode really reminded me to listen. The most successful people are the ones who listen rather than talk, they learn rather than pretending to know it all. Although we come from totally different backgrounds, we’ve always connected in such a genuine way. We first met when life was very different; Stephen was dating my friend Millie Mackintosh. A lot has happened since then, a lot of growing up and self reflection... When people come into the studio, sometimes they might ask to not discuss certain topics but Stephen was a complete open book, so no stone was left unturned… We cover: •⁠ ⁠His relationship with Millie Mackintosh •⁠ ⁠Getting an autism diagnosis later in life, and how that has changed the way he looks at his past •⁠ ⁠Surviving getting stabbed in the neck and how knife crime will remain high until we tackle poverty •⁠ ⁠How he’s turned negative life experiences into learning opportunities •⁠ ⁠The self reflection that comes with becoming a father •⁠ ⁠Losing his father & Uncle to suicide and how he handles the grief •⁠ ⁠Why we shouldn’t blame our elders for getting stuff wrong as they didn’t have access to therapy Stephen is such a breath of fresh air. Our conversation reminded me how important it is to keep learning, keep being interesting and interested - keep growing as a person.
