For a man who has climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, Mont Blanc and Everest (twice...) Akke Rahman has built up his fair share of death defying anecdotes. In this episode we get to hear some of his wildest tales, but also delve into what drives him to pursue his passion of mountaineering, and how he is using his profile in the talent industry to highlight social issues and raise money for charity.

This week we are joined by two freerunners! Lynn Jung and Corbin Mackin are both at the top of their game, with Lynn appearing in the new Wicked movie and Corbin an elite obstacle course racer and Ninja Warrior champion.

They bring us into their all-action world to discuss how they turned their hobbies into their profession, and the pitfalls that come in a working in a dangerous environment.

Award-winning BBC presenter Nadia Ali joins us this week. As the BBC's only permanent hijab-wearing presenter, Nadia is a trailblazer. Her story is one of hard work, determination and talent that took her from a conservative Muslim family background to achieving her dream of becoming a TV presenter. Life-changing personal experiences led her not only to overcome her own trauma but to want to share her story in order to help others process theirs.

AEG are one of the biggest companies in the music industry. They own live music venues across the globe, and promote some of the biggest acts in the world. In this episode we are joined by the Chief Operations Officer of AEG Europe - John Langford.

From his early days in radio, to working with some of the most important artists in history, John gives us incredible insight into the talent agency world at the highest level.

Aged 23, Tom Lancashire made his Olympic debut at Beijing 2008, with an exciting middle-distance career ahead of him. That would be Tom's only Olympic games, after partnering with a nutrition brand that left him too unwell to compete at the elite level again.

He discusses that draining period of his career with us, as well as his rise to being a professional athlete from Bolton to Beijing (via Miami...)

This is the second part of our conversation with Royal Marine Commando Mark Ormrod. His life changed when he lost three limbs in Afghanistan and one of the changes was his career, as he became a motivational speaker, author, and the UK’s most decorated Invictus Games athlete.

In this episode, he gives us more insight into becoming someone more and more at home in the public eye.

Blue Peter is a British institution, so we were delighted to be joined by the 37th presenter of the iconic children's TV show; Radzi. He shares his journey from a single-parent council house in Wolverhampton to becoming one of the most sought after sports TV presenters in the UK.

It's no surprise that hard work and graft are required, but Radzi brings us an intellectual perspective as well as lessons he would give his younger self.

We have two returning guests this week, but this time they're together! We caught up with international swimmer Michael Gunning, and the SVP of Global Marketing at Pentland Brands Simon Rowe.

The two work together in Michael's role as a Speedo ambassador, and share fascinating insight into how to create a meaningful brand/athlete partnership that transcends the transactional.
