For a truly special episode, Luke Consiglio is joined by MP Sharon Hodgson, filmed on location inside the UK Parliament for a conversation that brings politics, family, and food together in a powerful and personal way.

Sharon shares her journey into politics, reflecting on the moments and motivations that led her to become a Member of Parliament, and the realities of life inside one of the country’s most historic institutions. Away from the political headlines, she opens up about family life, the values that shaped her growing up, and how those experiences continue to influence her work today.

The conversation also turns to school catering, an industry under increasing pressure. Sharon speaks passionately about the challenges facing school food provision, why it matters so deeply to children, families, and communities, and what needs to change to protect its future.

This is an episode that blends insight, honesty, and real-world impact, offering a rare behind-the-scenes look at Parliament while staying true to the kitchen-table conversations at the heart of the series. A must-listen for anyone interested in leadership, family life, and the role food plays in shaping the next generation

Paul takes us back to his school days to reveal the one food he’s sworn off for life after a bad run-in at the dinner table — and how that single moment shaped his lifelong relationship with food. From there, he shares stories of his parents, the family meals he remembers most vividly, and what it was like growing up as a self-confessed fussy eater. We find out how that plays out today in his own family life, where preferences and picky habits still spark plenty of laughs.

But it’s not all about food quirks — Paul also opens up about the bigger picture: his passion for family businesses, the mission behind Family Business United, and why storytelling and community matter so much in keeping these enterprises thriving.

This is an episode full of honesty, humour, and heart. Whether you’re fascinated by family dynamics, food memories, or the challenges of running a business with purpose, Paul’s insights will leave you both entertained and inspired.
