Welcome back to another episode of Stripping Off with Matt Haycox. This week, I've got an exclusive episode featuring a musical maestro, a mentor on a mission, and an entrepreneur. I'm stripping off with Tre Lowe. Get ready to hear about where it all began for Tre, the moments that moulded him, and the grit that's taken him far. We'll chat about his upbringing, work ethic, and how he tackled challenges head-on, all while keeping excuses at bay. And of course, Tre's dishing out some exclusive behind-the-scenes juice on this year’s BBC Apprentice, including his journey to the FINAL FIVE! Do we think Tre could be Alan Sugar's next business partner? Well, you'll have to tune in to find out.

Who is Tre Lowe: Tre Lowe isn't your average musician-turned-businessman. He's a powerhouse, navigating the worlds of music, mentoring, and entrepreneurship. You might recognise him as the standout contestant on BBC's "The Apprentice" 2024, where he made waves by smashing records with a jaw-dropping £38.7 million win in a Formula-E task. But Tre's talents don't stop there - he's also the creative force behind the chart-topping hit "Body Groove" and has lent his magic touch to remixes for industry legends like Usher and Mariah Carey. In addition to his musical endeavours, Tre is a passionate mentor and speaker, drawing from his own experiences to inspire others. Despite facing health challenges at a young age, including temporary paralysis and tinnitus, which ‘made him want to die’, coupled with the unexpected death of his brother, Tre has emerged stronger than ever, founding Alpha Clique to empower future leaders. His mission? To leave a lasting legacy that transcends industries and changes lives for the better.
