    "I Can" - Interview with Olympic Gold Medalist, Georgina Brayshaw (Part One)

    In this powerful first episode of our three-part series, Luke & Danny sit down with Georgina Brayshaw—Olympic gold medalist, World Champion, and a true force of resilience. At 15 years old, a life-threatening horse-riding accident left her in a coma for nine days and paralysed on her left side. Told she might never fully recover, Georgina refused to accept limits. She defied the odds, relearned how to use her body, and went on to become one of the best rowers in the world. But that’s just the start of her story. She didn’t even start rowing until university. She didn’t make the GB Start program on her first try. And yet, through sheer determination and an unstoppable mindset, she pushed her way to the top—becoming a history-making Olympian. This is a story of persistence, resilience, and proving that anything is possible. Listen now, and stay tuned for Part Two next week, where we talk with Georgie about what it was like winning the Gold at the Paris Olympics 2024.

    The Experience Illusion

    In this episode of Let’s Talk People Development with Luke & Danny, The Experience Illusion, the guys dive into a surprising phenomenon: the assumption that experience is always an advantage. Conventional wisdom suggests that seasoned professionals, with their extensive knowledge and honed skills, should naturally outperform their less experienced peers. But at Revolve, we’ve noticed something unexpected—junior professionals, fresh out of university or with little real-world experience, sometimes thrive in our training programmes, while their more experienced colleagues sometimes struggle. Why is that?
