From his parents immigrating to the UK to the many sacrifices he made in his journey to becoming an elite sportsman, Lawrence explains how unconditional love is really at the centre of it all.

"I feel a determination that we can do better"

In this episode of Sacrifice and Success, Sir John Hegarty sits down with Lord Daniel Finkelstein, OBE, a renowned journalist and politician.

Daniel has enjoyed a long career at the boundary of where media and politics meet, having worked closely with MPs and party leaders and as Executive Editor of The Times newspaper. He considers himself very fortunate to be where he is today, and chats with John openly about his and his family's relentless optimism, a fact which may surprise given his parents' experiences of the Holocaust.

Daniel explains eloquently that his family's survivorship does not define them, and that he learned a lot from their sense of humour and choice to focus on the important stuff in life.
