Ricky hears from people who have faced a massive crossroads or turning point in their lives, and have ended up taking a different road to the one they started on. With the knowledge and experience they've acquired along the way, Ricky finds out how they reflect back on those difficult times and what words of wisdom they wish they could give their younger selves.
