I DID. YOU CAN.
People from a wide range of backgrounds, jobs, interests and geographical locations share their stories. How did they get to where they are ? Are they living the life they imagined when they were 14 years old ? What advice would they offer a young person setting off on the journey of life ? Phil Crompton - author of " In Search of My Alumni" and a former school leader - finds out how they did it and how others can do something similar. There will be something for everyone in this series. We all need role models. Here are plenty.
I DID. YOU CAN.
Etienne Stott : Environmental campaigner and Olympic Gold Medalist
Etienne Stott won an Olympic Gold Medal at London 2012. Just pause to think about that. He had devoted so much of his life to pursuit of that medal. And then he had it. Wow. But what next ? Etienne still paddles his canoe but most of his energy goes into trying to draw attention to the climate crisis. Etienne shares his story from school in Bedford to the Olympic Games and then to his work with Extinction Rebellion. What a journey.
