James Gough: GB Rowing to Hospital Bed to Serial Entrepreneur

Most people suffer unintentionally. James chose it. In this pod, I sit down with entrepreneur and former GB rowing athlete James Gough, who went from having his Olympic dreams cut short by serious illness to building a multi-division global business. From losing his athletic identity to rebuilding from a hospital bed, this episode is about why certainty isn’t motivation, it’s identity. When you know who you are, you stop negotiating. You stop spiralling. And success becomes inevitable.
