    Lessons Learned with Dani Rowe

    My guest today is London 2012 Olympic champion and three time world champion cyclist Dani Rowe. Her career began on the track, and she went on to win three world titles and Olympic gold medal in the team pursuit, before turning her attention to the road, picking up podiums at prestigious stage races like the Tour De Yorkshire and The Women’s Tour. She also won Commonwealth bronze in 2018 on the Gold Coast before retiring at the end of that season. She is now a coach, a commentator, a pundit and a mum and we chat being a perfectionist, resilience, being a mum, and much more.

    Lessons Learned with John Barclay

    My guest this week is former Scotland rugby captain turned commentator, pundit and professional whisky drinker John Barclay. He won the Calcutta Cup in 2018 too - beating England in a Cup tie for the first time in a decade. John also won the Guinness Pro 14 title with Scarlets in 2017, and played for both Glasgow Warriors and Edinburgh Rugby during an illustrious career of almost 300 professional appearances. He also has an alarmingly dry sense of humour, which very much comes to the fore as we talk about school, playing for the Scarlets, injuries and retirement, regrets and becoming a father. Enjoy!

    Lessons Learned with Matt Smith

    I am delighted to welcome Matt Smith as my guest for episode two - Matt is a Championship footballer, who has had a somewhat unusual path to the top ranks of the sport - the striker first played professionally for League One Oldham, and indeed helped them to the FA Cup fifth round in 2013, beating Liverpool on the way.

We chat divorce, THAT FA Cup run, football culture, coronavirus, retirement and much more. Enjoy.
