Her practical advice on improving learning in children is what is missing in a lot of education practices. I loved interviewing Janet as she is knowledgable and insightful with a deep pool of experience which makes her a valuable resource.

Paul Glover is a controversial character and I enjoyed interviewing him. His frank discussion about his past and how it has helped him become a coach with a no BS approach is what I admire. His admission to his past decisions and how it has shaped him is what I found fascinating.

His coaching is tough but before you even get to the acceptance phase you have to be assessed. He is for the brave looking to change.

This is part of my archived podcast when I did interviews for obstacle course racing. The reason I have added this episode is because of the grit and determination it took Ken to survive.

I had the privilege of interviewing Ken Jones the author of Darkness Descending. Ken went on a winter trip to Romania and got caught up in an avalanche which resulted in horrific injuries. He had to crawl, hobble and survive without food for 3 days before he got to a small village and was able to get help.

He survived after multiple surgeries and created the successful Fan Dance endurance event in the Brecon Beacons which I attended for a number of years. Its a brutal event which I loved and hated at the same time.

I get to speak with very interesting people and today's guest is no exception. This is an episode for teenagers and parents of teenagers but the lessons are relevant to all.
