What does it take to win Olympic gold, and how can those lessons translate to building a more sustainable future? This week, we're joined by Rowley Douglas MBE, a gold medalist in rowing at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, who shares his incredible journey to the top. Rowley takes us behind the scenes of his Olympic experience, revealing how the team learned from failures, overcame intense pressure, and ultimately achieved victory.
But Rowley's story doesn't end with gold medals. He also offers a perspective on sustainability, drawing on his experience with the London 2012 Olympics. We explore the innovative strategies used to deliver long-term sustainable infrastructure and how we can use transitional solutions to deliver business efficiency more quickly.
Plus, we explore how former athletes are now playing a crucial role in driving sustainability within the sports industry.
