Kieran has won every single notable boat race there is to win, Olympics, World Championships, Boat Race and even came out of retirement to win the Henley Royal Regatta.


We spoke of :


  • A strong work ethic and the importance of proactively seeking advice
  • To be good at something, you need to work at it
  • Why you should do things that make you happy
  • What dreaming big leads to
  • The outcomes from a positive mindset
  • The benefits of being different
  • Making difficult decisions but not being afraid to call things out, why honesty is so important
  • Controlling the controllables
  • What and whose advice to listen to
  • It is never to late to change
