Kriss Akabusi made his name as one of Britain's best and most beloved athletes in the 1980s and 1990s, memorably winning gold at the 1991 world championships in Tokyo.

Since then, he's become a phenomenally successful motivational speaker. Now 60, the great man very kindly invited BALANCE to his beautiful home where Kriss talked existentialism (something he's currently studying), his remarkable life, how foster care led to the army which in turn sparked a glittering career and much more.

We hope you enjoy what we think is a very special episode with a truly great Briton. As ever, big thanks as always - drop us a line at [email protected] and [email protected].
