From Tech Investor to Winter Olympian: David talks to South Africa's Matt C Smith

Today's show is all about belief, courage and resilience. David met Matt at LEAP in February. After a taxi ride for just over an hour, a podcast interview was booked! Why?

His journey shows so many qualities that can be transferred to the world of work - and we want to share it with you!
