The third episode of The Starting Line podcast, with the inspirational James Cracknell OBE.


Two-time Olympic gold medal winner. Six time world champion. Junior world champion.


Add the extensive and impressive list of feats since his Olympic rowing days, which includes rowing the Atlantic with Ben Fogle, finishing as the fastest ever Brit at the time of competing in the gruelling 350km Marathon des Sables and winning The Boat Race for Cambridge as the oldest man to ever compete, and James is undoubtedly one of the most incredible athletes Britain’s ever produced.


James was in a coma for 12 days following a near-fatal and life-changing accident in 2010, when he was hit by a fuel truck driving at 65mph. His road to recovery has been long and continues even today.


Listen to find out more about this one-of-a-kind man.

About The Starting Line Podcast


From a turbulent childhood marred by domestic violence, addiction and crime to being named the #1 most influential PR person, my journey has been anything but conventional.


At 17, I dropped out of school. At 18, I became a father for the first time, and left the chaos of my family council house, determined to rewrite my story and break the cycle so many understandably struggle to.


By 30, I was a successful agency owner with a #1 best-selling book. We were working with some of the UK’s leading brands, entrepreneurs and celebrities, building, shaping and protecting reputations, using my influence to raise more than a million pounds for sick children.


Hosted by me, Rich Leigh, The Starting Line Podcast is your weekly dose of inspiration, featuring powerful interviews with entrepreneurs, entertainers, athletes, philanthropists and more. Together, we explore the themes of curiosity, resilience, ambition, and the relentless pursuit of success, proving that your starting line doesn't define your potential.


Join me every Monday as we discuss life's challenges with positivity, perseverance and a touch of silliness.
