This week is a **Radical Recruit Takeover** of the podcast as I'm joined, as my co-host, by Emma Frievogel, Founder of Radical Recruit.

We are joined by a VERY SPECIAL GUEST in the wonderful Deta Hedman.

Deta joins us to talk about how she gained an interest in her sport, how she trains and her mindset to compete at such a top-level consistently and she shares her journey to the top of her sport with all the high's and lows' that a truly great sportsperson will inevitably face on the path to success.

We explore her thoughts about winning and losing, her philosophy and approach to preparing for major tournaments, her joy of winning a major tournament after a 5-year hiatus from the game and how she balances a full-time job alongside being such a high-profile semi-professional sportsperson.

Emma joins the podcast as Deta has agreed to partner with Radical Recruit to promote the social recruitment enterprise when she competes at the PDC World Darts Championships.
