Today, we’re joined by one of the greatest athletes of all time, Carl Lewis.

A 9-time Olympic Gold Medalist, 1-time Silver Medalist, and 10-time World Champion, Carl Lewis is not just a sprinter or long jumper he’s a living legend.


In this firecracker of a conversation, King Carl as he's called, opens up about his journey to greatness what it truly took to stay on top across four consecutive Olympics, the values his parents instilled in him, and how he overcame his toughest moments on and off the track.


He joins us in India as the International Brand Ambassador for the Vedanta Delhi Half Marathon 2025, sharing his experience of race day energy from a landmark 20th edition, witnessing the spirit of 40,000 participants and the collective determination that fuels them all.


We also talk about his thoughts on LA 2028, the evolution of society in the face of racial discrimination, the Black Lives Matter movement, and what still needs to change.

Carl leaves us inspired with so much to think about, as truly a legend can!
