'I was a telegram boy, a junior postman, and I went from that to advise some of the biggest names in the sport and entertainment world'

From starting out as a post boy to advising the sporting greats on the most important financial decisions of their lives to battling cancer, Jonathan Power's life has been anything but dull. There was a point when he had the option to sell his company for seven figures and retire in style, becoming a multimillionaire while still in his thirties. The champagne was on ice, the pen was in his hand, but he didn't sign on the dotted line: "I had so much more I wanted to do," he said.

Jonathan comes from "humble beginnings" but insists that if he can do it, then anybody can. He's speaking from his flat in London but his family home is in Cardiff, where he lives with his wife Emma and daughter Millie.

His address book is impressively full of international sporting names and showbiz royalty. There's footballer Andy Cole, Joe Calzaghe, Rio Ferdinand, Idina Menzel, Ellie Goulding and the late Bobby Robson to name but a few. Oh and by the way, he's jetting off to the States later this year to attend Elton John's Oscar viewing dinner and after party in LA.
