1:14:27

Here's a great chat we did with Joel Fearon earlier in 2021. What a guy! There's so much in here to enjoy and be inspired by. On the track, he's one of the fastest-ever British sprinters, despite a lack of financial support. And he doubles up with competing in Bobsleigh. He and the GB crew finished 5th in the Sochi Winter Olympics, since upgraded to bronze because of the disqualification of the Russian crews because of doping violations. Joel talks about competing, mentoring, family and his love of country music. We hope you enjoy it! You can find us at @grspodcasr @discusdan @martynrooney…
