You're invariably beaten by your approach to that challenge'.Read the transcription for this episode on www.accesstoinspiration.org and connect with us:Twitter www.twitter.com/accessinspirat1 Facebook www.facebook.com/accesstoinspiration Instagram www.instagram.com/accesstoinspiration LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/company/access-to-inspiration/ Sign up for our newsletter http://eepurl.com/hguX2b Copyright © Access to Inspiration 2021

This week I sat down with Mick Dawson, ex-stockbroker with Davy and Chief Executive of Leinster Rugby since 2001.I've never been a huge rugby fan and so in this chat, I was interested to hear what goes on behind the scenes at a world-class sports franchise; What are the main revenue drivers? How do they think about marketing? Does the executive HQ influence the outcomes on the pitch and what are the key dynamics that drive the business side of the game?Mick gives us an interesting look at how a professional club operates; coach selection, player satisfaction, sponsorships and fan engagement. Covid has hit the sporting world hard. Mick can’t see into the future, but this conversation filled me with nostalgia about rugby matches past, and hope about the future of the sport post-Covid.

Lia is a professional sailor and rower and she’s accomplished some amazing feats. At 25, Lia was the youngest competitor and the only woman to sail across the Atlantic in a race called the OSTAR. She did that solo! She’s gone on to compete in many other single-handed sailing races including the Route du Rhum which goes from France to the Caribbean, and the Transpacific Yacht Race which goes from California to Hawaii. She then got into ocean rowing and, among other things, did the Woodvale Challenge which is from the Canary Islands to the West Indies. But now, NOW Lia is training for a 5,500 mile solo row across the North Pacific from Japan to San Francisco. Yeah, 5,500 miles across the Pacific. Though two men claim to have completed this, as we talk about in this conversation, these guys technically did not complete the journey. You’ll hear how they fell short of the final miles and what Lia has planned for her own adventure so that she actually completes the entire route. This is a pretty fascinating conversation. We take a deep dive into her training, what she’s doing to get ready for this big event and also her diet, which includes a 900 calorie breakfast. We talk a lot about logistics because I had SO many questions since I know so little about sailing and ocean rowing. She really indulged me and allowed me to ask a lot of really basic questions. You're going to love this amazing conversation with Lia Ditton. ***** Have a burning question and want to be featured on a future episode?

RNIB Connect Radio’s Barry Snell speaks to Steve Sparkes and Mick Dawson, the two-man crew of the Cockleshell Pacific Endeavor, who have just created their own unique piece of sporting history.

On the 8th May 2009 Mick Dawson and Chris Martin set off from Choshi in Japan to row 7,000 miles across the North Pacific to San Francisco. Crossing the North Pacific in an open rowing boat was one of the world's great firsts and, after two failed attempts he was determined to make it. Storms, fatigue, equipment failure, intense hunger and lack of water were just some of the challenges. Facing near certain death they eventually reached the iconic span of San Francisco's Golden Gate bridge after a back breaking voyage of over six months. Mick Dawson is a former Royal Marine Commando, a professional sailor, motivational speaker and film maker. Having been gripped by Mick's book 'Battling the Oceans in a rowboat' I had to interview him and find out what we can learn about leadership, strategy and courage from one of the most incredible adventures of modern times.
