James Cracknell - Part 1

Desperately Seeking Wisdom

James Cracknell is a double Olympic Gold medallist, adventurer, and now Parliamentary candidate.
He’s faced some extraordinary highs and devastating lows – including being left brain-damaged after being hit by a truck travelling at 65mph.
In part one of our conversation, we discuss how how he bounced back from the agony of having to miss his first Olympics due to illness and was able to use that pain to propel him to win gold four years later. We also talk about his extraordinary determination and ability to “empty the tanks” when you're faced with big challenges.
Part two of our conversation will be out on Thursday 7th March.
