For the first episode of season 2, we had the great pleasure of speaking with Professional Disability Golfer Joakim Björkman. He’s a 2x World and 2x European Champion with the Swedish National Team, which he has represented for 15 years. We speak about how it was for him to grow up with a disability and how golf became his free space and outlet at a young age. He opens up about the tough moment where he suddenly collapsed at home one day and how this experience left him feeling reborn, changed him as a person, and played a big role in him getting to where he is today. Joakim also speaks about his winning mentality and goal to become number 1 in the world, as well as shares his advice for how to overcome adversity and find your greatness.

Enjoy the episode!
