9. BITESIZE - What business can learn from sport, with BBC journalist Simon Mundie

The team were thrilled to welcome renowned former BBC sports journalist, Simon Mundie, to the pod back in early 2021. Simon has interviewed hundreds of elite and world-famous sports stars, and in this episode they discussed how the lessons those stars have learnt can be applied to success in business.

In this bitesize clip of that interview, they discuss imposter syndrome, as well as Simon’s personal journey to try to change the exclusionary language around sport, and how this prompted the creation of his hit podcast, Don’t Tell Me the Score. There’s also a great story about rugby’s Jamie Peacock, not to be missed!

They discuss the philosophy of sport, touching on how and why peak sporting performance is characterised by the loss of the separate self, why identifying personally with sporting excellence often leads to an outsized ego, and why Roger Federer is an artist in the truest sense of the word.

Ep34: Special interview episode with Simon Mundie

Mark and James welcome broadcaster and presenter Simon Mundie.

Simon has been a presenter on BBC Radio 1, and has covered sporting events like Wimbledon as well as a number of large music events. In more recent years, Simon has been hosting BBC Radio 4’s critically acclaimed Don’t Tell Me The Score, which uses sport to explore life’s bigger questions. He has interviewed many of the most well known and successful people on the planet including Caitlyn Jenner, Jonny Wilkinson, Michael Johnson and even a former bank robber turned professional ironman - as well as psychologists, neuroscientists and former Buddhist monks.

He explores life themes including addiction, self-acceptance and tribalism, and we discuss the lessons he's learnt from his interviews to see how we can apply this to the world of business.
