Do we share and tell the world exactly how we're feeling?

I don't know what a man looks like these days.

I think the thing about sharing is interesting because you guys have a slightly different experience to me that Emma works and Vogue works.

My wife Harriet doesn't.

I mean, she does because she's at home with the kids, but she doesn't have a job that she goes to.

So actually, it's very interesting when it comes to do you tell everyone everything?

In the world that we're in, where I work in London and Harriet's in Norwich where we live looking after the kids, there's loads of stuff she does that I don't even know about, right?

You know, like get Seb's hockey stuff.

I wouldn't know where to begin to find that stuff.

Then there's a load of things that I do that Harriet wouldn't get involved in or know about.

And actually that does create a really interesting dynamic in a relationship where something happens and your partner goes, why are you not telling me everything?

And actually, you can't tell everyone everything.

And also, I think that I see my responsibility as going out, coming to work, creating high performance, building a few other businesses and then making sure there's enough money that the mortgage gets paid and everything happens.

And if there's a month where things are a bit tight or I have to have a conversation with Harriet about money, there is like a definite shame or embarrassment linked to that.

Mm-hmm.

where she's done her side of the bargain, everything at home is rocking and rolling, and I've had a month where cash flow's been challenging in the business or something, and it's like, oh!

That is a really weird sort of tightrope, I think, that I tread sometimes.

Yeah, I do.

I think I like to... Because actually, we live in this world where we think that everything is flowing and perfect for other people.

And it's when you talk to someone else that you would put either as an equal or above you in the business world or something.
