1h 21m · Life In Practice Podcast · 13 Nov 20:05

After completing two degrees at Oxford University, Ben has worked in The City (finance), in venture capital, as a product designer, consultant and entrepreneur.

In 2000 he began evaluating and contributing to the fledgling “wellbeing” sector. At the macro level, his work focused on the relationship between wellbeing, economics and politics; at the micro level, he has developed innovative methodologies to unite and incentivise people to improve their wellbeing. In 2006 his wellbeing concept was adopted by a major UK political party as their core philosophy.

Ben is the author of various books and articles. Recognising the importance of protecting the environment, along with the pressing need for stories featuring powerful female protagonists, his most recent novel, Something in the Water, follows Teal Douglas as she discovers the interconnectedness of all life in the context of the fragile ocean environment.

Ben is an award-winning public speaker. He achieved Toastmasters International’s highest public speaking award and in 2019 became a Gold Ambassador for the organisation. He speaks on a number of topics including wellbeing and trains people in public speaking.

Ben fills his spare time keeping fit and creating intricate wellbeing-themed art.

#012 Sleep And Entrepreneurship With Nina Clark

Nina Clark is the founder of Nightire which was born out of a personal quest to understand sleep, and all that it entails, a bit better… Like many folks I know, I have this thing called can’t-always-shut-my-brain-off-to-go-to-sleep syndrome. I overthink everything and am that person who constantly makes lists in my head and who worries about things that I can’t change; all while lying in bed at night waiting for sleep to set in. 


This led to a few years of having a rather patchy sleep routine.

I began doing research into what could help a person sleep better and tried to apply it in my nightly routine: using black-out blinds, taking a relaxing bath, using no screens in the room (i.e. goodbye to Insta-sessions right before bed), and trying anything I could to keep my body temperature on an even keel. That included buying the right sleepwear, which, in turn, got me to focus on an industry that seemed like it had some room for functional innovation (and a bit more personality), which is how the idea for Nightire came about. To create sleepwear that would aid your sleep, is beautiful enough to wear out and about, and bring some vibe back to the bedtime tribe. 


Not many people care what they wear to bed, which is a shame as you spend about a third (and most important part) of the day in your PJs. We’re happy to shell out for fancy suits and pencil skirts, but when it comes to our home-wear; a grubby pair of last year’s shorts and a freebie t-shirt from that 5km run we did once upon a time, will do.


But no more. Because Nightire is here:)
