Goalhanger Announces Doing It Anyway, New Limited Series Hosted by Katty Kay
Goalhanger, the rapidly expanding podcast and media company, has announced the launch of Doing It Anyway, a new six-part limited series hosted by acclaimed journalist, broadcaster, and bestselling author Katty Kay. Launching July 10 across all major podcast platforms and YouTube, the weekly series explores confidence, ambition, and how people can act effectively in the face of fear and uncertainty.
Presented in partnership with Vanguard, Doing It Anyway combines data, psychology, and real-life stories to examine how confidence shapes the way we live, work, and make decisions—with particular attention to women’s experiences. Each episode will be released every Friday throughout the six-week run, offering listeners practical advice alongside expert research from one of the media industry’s most respected voices.
A Host with Unparalleled Expertise
Katty Kay brings decades of experience studying confidence, leadership, and gender dynamics to this new venture. As co-host of The Rest Is Politics: US and co-author of the bestselling books The Confidence Code and Womenomics, Kay has spent nearly three decades investigating the science behind confidence and its impact on personal and professional success.
Throughout her storied career at the BBC, Kay anchored BBC World News America and covered six U.S. presidential elections. She now serves as U.S. Special Correspondent for BBC Studios, hosts New Normal with Katty Kay, and is a regular contributor and guest host on MSNBC’s Morning Joe. As shown in the promotional material for the series, Kay brings both authority and accessibility to conversations about overcoming self-doubt and taking ambitious action.
“I’ve wanted to do this series for a long time,” Kay shared in her announcement statement. “There are so many things I wish I’d known when I was starting out—the hurdles, failures and fears I’ve had to work through along the way. In these episodes, we’re sharing the best of my research, but also lots of practical advice: how to recognise the obstacles, face them down, and do it anyway.”
High-Profile Guests and Key Topics
The series features an impressive roster of guests, including organizational psychologist and bestselling author Adam Grant; Mika Brzezinski, founder of the Know Your Value movement and co-host of Morning Joe; Ally Love, Peloton instructor and CEO of Love Squad; Anne-Marie Imafidon, CEO of Stemettes and leading computer scientist; Dr Kristin Neff, a renowned expert on self-compassion and wellbeing; and Anthony Scaramucci, Wall Street financier and Kay’s co-host on The Rest Is Politics: US.
Across the six episodes, Kay will explore pressing topics including the confidence gap between men and women, the role of self-doubt in decision-making, the psychology of resilience, and actionable steps listeners can take to move forward even amid uncertainty. The format combines expert interviews with data-driven insights, making the content both intellectually rigorous and immediately applicable to listeners’ lives.
Part of Goalhanger’s Expanding Portfolio
The launch of Doing It Anyway represents the latest addition to Goalhanger’s acclaimed roster of content spanning politics, history, sport, entertainment, science, business, and culture. The production company’s existing slate includes The Rest Is Politics: US, The Rest Is History, The Rest Is Entertainment, The Rest Is Football, The Rest Is Science, The Book Club, and Sherlock & Co.
Goalhanger’s growth trajectory has been remarkable. Recently named Britain’s fastest-growing private company in The Sunday Times 100, the company has experienced rapid expansion across audio, video, live events, membership, and commercial partnerships. This new series continues that momentum while addressing a topic of widespread relevance: how individuals—particularly women—can build and maintain the confidence needed to pursue their goals despite obstacles and uncertainty.
