EPISODE 10 

Imagine walking into a stadium packed with thousands of people. The  scream of fans filled the air. Not only are all eyes watching you but  millions around the world are clued to their television sets. This is  the Olympics and the hopes and dreams of an entire country rest on your  shoulders. To get to this level you need to be a super human. You need  to be among the best of the best to be the 1% of the 1%.  I had an opportunity to peer into the world of 2 Time Olympian, 2 X  published author and motivational speaker, Akeem Haynes. Before  competing in track for the greatest games in the world, Akeem endured  countless challenges. From homelessness, to being raised by a single  parent to struggling academically, Akeem proved time and time again that  effort, determination and faith is all that is need to make dreams come  true.  

Join me as we discussed: 

- The early struggles of a new country 

- Knowing that no superhero will save you 

- Accepting the kindness and generosity of others 

- Racing on the biggest stage in the world 

- The mindset needed to overcome advserity 

- Defining success now and beyond 

- Leaving a legacy that inspires others 

- Fun topics such as what he listens to in order to get hyped up, the  advice he would give his younger self and why people are not living up  to their potential.   It's an honour to interview this man.
