After the Book Ends With Henry Cole
Episode 3
Tuesday, 10 December, 2019
It's not everyday you get the opportunity to chat with the great, great, great nephew of a British Prime Minister! But today was that day. Henry Cole, author of the fantastic memoir that is A Biker's Life, was gracious enough to Facetime with me to talk about his incredible life after his book was published. His lineage can be traced back to William Ewert Gladstone, a Prime Minister in the 1800s. Henry loves all things motorcycles . . . and he apparently loves backyard sheds, too. But there are stipulations on what consitutes a shed! He has the answer to all self-help needs, and it is simpler than you might think. Besides being a producer, a well-known TV presenter, an author, and a recovering addict, Henry is also a family man who has discovered that priorities (a close second only to sheds) do matter. Henry has worked with the likes of Michael Jackson, AC/DC, Elizabeth Hurley, and many more. But what I feel makes him truly great is his desire to keep his feet firmly planted on the ground (or on the pedals of a motorcycle). We get to chat about all sorts of things: from the making of the movie Mad Dogs and Englishmen, to Route 66, to the ideas of his two new books that will be released in the future. Oi, Guvnor, it was fun! Cheers, mate!
