Imagine training every day for a decade… and still losing. Then figuring out one question that changes everything.

Olympic gold medallist Ben Hunt-Davis didn’t win because he trained harder, he’d been doing that for years and kept losing. He won because he and his crew started asking one question before every decision: Will it make the boat go faster?

In this conversation, Ben shares the messy reality of chasing big dreams. We talk about missing teams by one place, eating 7,000 calories a day, and why sacrifice isn’t always sacrifice if you’re doing what you love.

Then we jump into how that gold medal shaped his career as a performance coach, why bounce-back ability matters more than talent, and how to apply “filters” to shut out distractions in business and life.

3 Actionable Takeaways:

Ask better questions to unlock better results - ruthlessly align your decisions with your real goal
Build resilience by treating failures as fuel - treat setbacks as data, not drama

Identify and repeat your successes consciously - Start every review by shining a light on what worked.

Listen in and steal the mental frameworks that took Ben from last place… to Olympic champion.
