Jake Williamson | Embracing Who You Are | I Did A Runner Podcast

Joining me on the podcast today is Jake Williamson, hybrid athlete, world record holder, former semi professional footballer, and member of the LGBTQ+ community. Jake is one of the biggest names in Hyrox, breaking records and brining so much positivity to the sport. His journey is a special one, from holding back who he really was in the football world, to finally coming out and accepting himself, to then be shut out by people around him for his sexuality. Jake has since advocated for people to speak out, you have one shot at life so we must embrace every second. Jake was so open and honest in this episode, is was refreshing to see how he approaches life, and how he has turned his struggles into a positive not only for himself but a much larger scale through his audience online as well as being an Ambassador for the LGBTQ+ charity, Stonewall. There is so much can be learnt from this episode as well as inspiration for anyone who listens to take a step on that path to begin a journey of happiness.
