In this episode, Fergus is joined by Rory Lawson, former Scotland Rugby Captain, media host and Leadership Consultant. 

Rory won 31 Caps for his country, as well as playing for Edinburgh, Gloucester and Newcastle Falcons. However, in August 2013, Rory had to announce his retirement from professional Rugby, due to a chronic wrist injury.

Rory shares his sporting background with us, what lead him to rugby, the unfortunate circumstances in which he had to retire, his struggle with finding purpose outside of rugby, his passion for leadership and performance, and much much more. 

Expect to evaluate your own leadership qualities. 

Expect to think differently about your goals. 

Expect to learn more about the harsh reality of injuries.
