"Thank God I have done my duty."

This episode explores leadership through the life and legacy of Admiral Horatio Nelson. Gareth and Chris unpack the myth, the reality, and the enduring lessons behind one of Britain’s most iconic naval commanders.

What makes someone a great leader when history elevates them to near‑mythical status? And what happens when we discover the real person beneath the legend?

Nelson’s success came from clear communication, trust, preparation, and personal courage. His “Nelson touch” showed how leaders build unity and belief through simple, human behaviours.
