On lucky number 7 of Win Your Own Personal Olympics with Sean Wroe, we will be flipping the tables by having one of my previous guests, playing the host role. Luke Wallace from episode number two interviews me while I am on the hot seat playing interviewee.
In this episode, Luke and I discussed my life as an athlete, an employee, an entrepreneur and a son. Luke digs deep on the many challenges I went through to win my personal Olympics and persevering to win even more in life. He then uncovers my goals, and my tendency to see the silver lining out of any situation.
