Sam sits down with Gold Medal Olympian Ben Hunt-Davis to learn about growth and the power of being humble. Ben is the author of "Will it make the boat go faster" which is a masterclass on how to become world-class in your pursuits and how we can leverage our strengths and learn from our weaknesses.

Ben's rowing team revolutionized the training methods athletes used to be their best and he now applies his lessons to business coaching working with elite teams to improve leadership and business performance.
