What makes something worth more than the sum of its parts? Why do certain brands command belief whilst others struggle for attention? What does ‘luxury’ even mean? What qualifies? Investigating the minds, mechanics and mythologies of modern luxury, What The Luxe is a series of conversations with the founders, directors and creatives behind modern marques. Together, we unpack the psychology of value, the business of brand, and the spirit that drives today’s best-in-class. Expect founding stories, bold positioning calls, and the messy truths behind polished brands. Because whether it’s craft, commerce, psychology or lore—all roads lead to value.

S5E5: Trust, Truth and Time in Mental Healthcare with George Broke, COO of The Soke

George Broke, COO of The Soke, joins Fred Moore to discuss how mental healthcare is evolving beyond traditional clinical models toward a premium, hospitality-driven approach. From their unique client services team that acts as healthcare concierges to daily multidisciplinary meetings that ensure no practitioner works in isolation, George explains how The Soke is addressing the fragmented UK mental health landscape.

The conversation explores the concerning rise in under-35 suicide rates, the shift from crisis-driven to preventative mental health approaches, and why George believes we're living through a crisis of safety rather than just mental health. We also delve into The Soke's international expansion strategy, the challenge of regulation and George's personal journey from banker to healthcare innovator.
