Show Notes

Prepare for an episode of Thought and Leaders that takes you to the high seas.

Gearoid Towey is an Olympic hero - an athlete, former World Rowing Champion, and Trans-Atlantic rower. 

He competed at no less than THREE Olympics:

Sydney 2000, Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008.

Towey, along with Ciaran Lewis, attempted to cross the Atlantic Ocean in a 23ft rowing boat.

After 40 gruelling days at sea, their boat was capsized by a 10m wave, leaving them adrift 900 miles from landfall.

In this very special episode of Thought and Leaders, Gearoid talks candidly to Jonathan Gabay about the Olympic lessons we can ALL learn, post-COVID… his incredible work helping former sportspeople…the psychology of identity... work expectations and much more.
