- Why he’s fed up with journalism
- Why Peter Jones in Sloane Square is unlikely to replace his Mont Blanc pen
- His period ducking and diving in the Sinai Desert
- Why he was cast as a Russian drugs dealer in a Bollywood movie
- Why writing is better than athletics
- How the 5’ 2” Monty learned to use his mouth
- What it’s like to grow 11 inches in 18 months
- Why he declared war on money
- How he personally lost £50K from bitcoin hackers
- Why he’s more interested in the unknown than the known
- How his company turned down Angry Birds
- Why it’s important to laugh at your mistakes
- Why he left the London commute for India
- The difference between ‘running away’ and ‘running towards’ something
- How an experiment in separating himself from friends and family almost killed him
- How not to have a fight in the lift at Covent Garden Tube Station
- The importance of reinventing himself
- What falling in love and becoming a Dad can do to a man
