Meet Charles Cousins – unquestionably, the coolest of my season 1 guests! 🏄♂️ 🏄♂️ 🚣♂️🚣♂️
We covered some serious mileage in our conversation! 😅 But nothing two endurance athletes couldn’t handle! 💪
Some of the topics 👇 👇
🛹 Dreaming of skateboarding.

🛷 ‘Cool runnings’ being the closest he got to watching anything to do with the Olympics.
🤿 Primary school dreams of zookeeping, beekeeping & scuba diving.
👨👩👦👦 How the sacrifice that athletes make, is actually more about the sacrifice that friends and families have to make.
🎯 How the 2008 Beijing Olympics opening ceremony was the catalyst to commit to rowing for a place in London 2012.
🚫 Deleted instagram when Olympics were on this year.
☀️ How a trip to Mozambique and training as a scuba instructor brought a nicely needed distraction, and time to think.
🤩 How an intern opportunity with an awesome company (Passle!) turned into a permanent opportunity and an incredible work environment.
