About this listen

Just six years ago Ben Watson was sat behind his desk in central London, staring at spreadsheet waiting for the clock to strike 6 so the could get straight to the pub for his mandatory 4 pints of lager before heading home for a takeaway, watching a bit of TV and going to bed, only to get up and repeat the process over and over again. He didn’t hate his life, it’s all he knew. One day however Ben had the overwhelming feeling something needed to change but unlike most he acted on that urge, in fact he didn’t just act on it, he took that idea and ran with it, well cycled with it all the way to a Paralympic Games.

I first met Ben underneath Mt Fuji when I interviewed him after winning his first gold medal for British para cycling and it immediately became one of my favourite interviews I’ve ever done. He literally couldn’t believe wha he had just achieved… Bens story is a great example of how with enough motivation and drive anyone can turn their life around, step on to a new path or chase a dream. How a single decisive moment, the decision to break free of your own enforced narrative can change your life.
