The 1% Club Podcast - Episode 1 - Neil Fachie MBE

Approaching Excellence, Every Conversation. 

Is there such a thing as destiny? 

Is your future pre-ordained?

Is it possible to be born a high-achiever, guaranteed to succeed? 

In this podcast, 14 x World Champion Cyclist, Neil Fachie MBE and presenter John Mellis ask high achievers exactly that and about their best habits and behaviours in an effort to build a tool box allowing everyone the chance to prosper at an elite level.

In this Episode 1, before Neil joins John on the side of the table where we ask the questions, he guests in the opposite to chair to answer them, in the week he's representing Great Britain at the Tokyo Paralympic Games in Cycling. 

He discusses the highs, lows and highs again of his dual sporting career, his future in business, how his wife  Lora has impacted his life, and ultimately what he believes are the crucial elements of his own character which have proven pivotal in his toolbox for success.
