I am Bernardo Fernandes, a hockey coach, a sports freak with a soft spot for innovation and design.

For a while I have been intrigued about stories of superation of some inspirational figures, mostly sports people.

You remember all those olympic gold medallists crying out of relief and fulfilment when they win their so desired medal? What’s their story? That’s what I would like to find out and have this inspirational people to share on a relaxed way.

Simultaneously I hope this will become a platform where the guests can speak freely and openly about certain chapters on their life that eventually they never had the possibility to look back or to reflect. Not to make anyone look weaker or vulnerable but to give the opportunity to talk openly and to inspire others to live a straight and well lived life.

No shortcuts, only the truth. It’s not just about reliving painful memories but to share the optimistic side of it. There is always a light in the end of the tunnel, even in the darkest ones!

The following will be a hell of a ride, Enjoy it and happy listening!
