On today’s podcast I have my friend and colleague Mathilde Delorme join me.

We look to cover three key moments in Mathilde’s life to where she is today –identity at youth, growing into an athlete and coming out seeking liberation. Mathilde discusses how people think about sport and the athletes in the system, while also looking at how people often look to extract some value from it.

More broadly we lightly cover some philosophical questions on purpose and talk about Mathilde’s passion project and brand called Bete Noir which is born out of her love hate relationship with sport.
