In this episode, Rachel Johnson shares the story of high jumper Dick Fosbury. At first, he was branded a failure in the eyes of the media and sporting community but then something remarkable happened. Taking inspiration from one man’s journey from failure to success, how can we also find a way when it looks like there is no way? How can we turn our ‘flops’ into successes?
