179: Retiring as an Olympian: What happens after you hit your goals - Ben Hunt-Davis MBE

Ben Hunt-Davis MBE is an Olympic Gold medalist who won the men's team rowing event for team GB at the Sydney Olympics. He explains how to build a new life after you retire from being an athlete and have to move into the rest of the world. There are a lot of great lessons for finding your place and the ways to focus on the right things.

We discuss: * The effects of achieving your dreams and what happens next * How to prioritise what to focus on and what to ignore and setting up bullshit filters * The importance of planning rather than going with the flow

On the growth mindset podcast with Sam Webster Harris, we explore the psychology of happiness, satisfaction, purpose, and growth through the lens of self-improvement. Success and happiness is a state of mind unique to ourselves and is our responsibility to create.

Through a process of honest self-reflection of what is holding us back and what is driving us forward, we can lose the ego and build awareness of how to be our best.
