Episode 03: How to Build and Maintain Reputation and Relevance feat. Matt Levy

Today we are joined by Matt Levy, who was born 15 weeks premature with cerebral palsy and a vision impairment. He has survived 50+ operations, including brain, heart, lung and ears. 

Today he is an international swim star, having competed in five consecutive Paralympics - winning three gold, one silver and five bronze medals. He swam at five World Championships and countless nationals and other professional meets and holds 120 international medals and four world records. 

We discuss Matt’s outlook that success doesn't come easy, and it doesn't mean that you will win a gold medal or come first in a race. You need to learn through each experience and constantly work on improving from the day before.
