Katie Piper was on her way to becoming a successful model and TV presenter. But that all changed in 2008 when a man she had been dating for two weeks brutally attacked her and arranged an acid attack, causing severe burns on her face, neck and arms, as well as leaving her blind in one eye.

Despite the pain and setbacks that Katie has endured, she has gone on to become a best-selling author of 8 books, a successful TV host, has founded the Katie Piper Foundation in aid of burn victims, and has multiple brand deals - among many, many other accolades, proving that absolutely nothing will hold her back!

In this episode, we discuss near-death experiences, dealing with depression and anxiety, her surprising business advice, and where she draws motivation from.

Have you always wanted to start your own podcast but not sure where to start? Have you worried about whether it will be successful or if you’ll be able to get sponsors? Well, discover today how all this is possible as Rob is joined by three people whose podcasts regularly top the podcasts charts. Discover how they turned their hobby into an income and how you can do the same.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Develop your passions into something that can turn into a moneymaker. When you forget about what you think people want and what people will pay for and just do what you want then it will become really popular. If you have an interest in your topic this will come through in your content.
  
  
• When you start your podcast, you may not think you are not very good at interviewing however the more practice you get, the better you will become. A good interviewer makes time for preparation for the guest, listens and gives people the space to talk.
  
  
• Podcasting is an easy passive thing to do, you can listen to it whenever and wherever you like as a form of escapism. People are starting to use podcasts as an easy way to get their personal brand out there. It is an authentic version of reality as opposed to the scripted and structured reality seen on other platforms.
  
  
• Many brands are yet to branch out into podcast advertising and sponsorships. It is about having connections and conversations with brands and not being afraid to be turned down or going back to them a month later with some new ideas. The more you do that, the tide will come and the sponsors will come to you.
  
  
• Your job as a podcaster should be creating great content, getting really good guests and marketing your podcast in as many countries to as many listeners as possible as well as monetising your podcast.

BEST MOMENTS

“Sometimes you're allowed to do your podcast for you.”

Today in the clinic Maryam and Fiona welcome a very special guest in the form of the wonderful presenter, model and campaigner, Katie Piper!

Katie has endured hundreds of surgeries as a result of an acid attack 12 years ago, which could have robbed her of confidence to participate in public life - and for a while it did - but ultimately her incredible, inner spirit wouldn't allow that side to win through.

Not only do we hear about some of the procedures Katie has had to re-build her face and body, but we hear about her journey with beauty and her love of products and make-up which has never relented, plus some of the tweakments she has found to have amazing results.

This is a truly inspirational listen and will lift anyone's spirits - which we could all do with right now... ENJOY!

One of Kevin’s ambitions for the show has been to interview the fabulous writer, activist, model, presenter and mum, Katie Piper, and today the dream becomes a reality.

Katie is one of the most familiar and beloved personalities in Britain, not just for her dazzling beauty and warm wit, but also for her courageous championing of charitable causes and her renowned compassion and relatability. 

In this very special edition of The Kevin Clifton Show, we get up close and personal with Katie, discussing everything from balancing work and home, the importance of stepping outside of your comfort zone, and the ways in which self-analysis and self-belief can help lift you back to the light in the wake of life’s darkest moments.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Being busy, and living through a hectic schedule, is a mark of positivity and productivity. Both Katie and Kevin enjoy the hustle of creativity and development.
• Strictly Come Dancing were keen to sign Katie for many years, but her exclusivity deal with Channel 4 prevented her from doing so. However, when that expired in 2018, she jumped at the chance to take to the floor.
• Whenever you start in something new, you always feel that sense of being stranded. For Katie, the Strictly experience was starkly different to anything she’d experienced before. She was used to being on TV, but dancing on TV was a whole new world.
• In life, we must always seek the challenge of the next thing. If we’re feeling safe, then it’s usually a sign of being static.
• Only when we let go of our inhibitions can we truly begin to enjoy our endeavours. It doesn’t come straight away, so don’t expect it to happen instantly, but when it does come, that feeling of release will allow you to enjoy life so much more.
• Podcasting allows Katie to express herself, and to show the world the real, unfiltered side of herself. it also allows her to express her ideas quickly, with complete editorial control, while they’re still relevant.
• Even if you live in the public eye, it’s important to have boundaries. People will respect you more in the long run if you can separate your private life from your public life.
• Confidence is an issue that all performers deal with, and sometimes struggle with. For Kevin, confidence is a huge issue, and although he may seem like an extrovert on Strictly, in social situations and in normal life, he is very shy.
• Confidence allows us to bounce back from rejection. The self-belief we must have in ourselves, especially as performers, picks us up in the face of a setback, and spurs us on to the next challenge.
• Life-changing injuries are just that - they never truly heal. Physically, Katie has, and will continue, to receive treatment. Psychologically, she finds herself having to readjust her outlook every now and then. It’s an ongoing struggle, but she refuses to let it beat her.
• It’s okay to be negative sometimes. It’s okay to be lazy. It’s okay to want to isolate yourself, All these things, in the wake of a life-calamity, are your own way of getting through this. So long as you realise this, and that you know it’s only temporary.
• We’re so obsessed with identity and occupation. When we ask “What do you do?”, the answer can be so complicated. It’s unfortunate that occupation is how we categorise people.
• Resilience comes through life experience and age. When we are shown the thing we can survive, we discover the things we’re capable of.
• Confidence comes through our embarrassment being shrugged away. We can’t spend our lives living in fear of what people think of us, or we’re lining ourselves up for a very poor existence.
• There’s a fine line between being self-serving and arrogant, and being nothing but a people pleaser. You need to say no sometimes. You need to remember that your life is your own. You can’t please everyone, so you may as well please yourself.
• We never really use a positive internal commentary by default. Our standard position is to question, and to worry about something. We need to nurture the positive voice.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I feel really fortunate to be able to say that I do a job that I’m passionate about’

‘I still don’t know the grammatical difference between their and there’

‘I feel like I’m doing a wee with the door open!’

‘Can I change this?’

‘It’s normal to get rejected in life. That’s okay’

‘I wanted the burn to live with me, not for me to live with the burn’

’There was a moment of clarity’

‘Rock bottom is a great place to start’

‘Politely saying “no” is quite empowering’

’The negatives happen before you’ve even tried’

‘I am the female Tyson Fury!'
