Alice Thorneycroft talks to some of the highest achieving people on the planet, to find out their history, and what makes them "Brilliant Minds".

Alice talks to Max Thorpe, who while racing across the Atlantic, encountered a rogue wave, resulting in one of the most dramatic sequences of events in the history of ocean sport.

In an attempt to row across the Atlantic - in one of the toughest races on earth - Max Thorpe was struck by a devastating rogue wave. The events that followed are widely regarded as some of the most perilous in the history of ocean sport. Undeterred, he returned just two years later to win the race and set a new world record. This is his story.
