It's not often that I get the opportunity to speak to an Olympic Athlete - not only that, but also the youngest ever chilean javelin thrower to compete at an Olympics and to hold the national record, a record that still stands today.

Ignacio Guerra competed at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, met Usain Bolt, earned an MBA scholarship for Kentucky State University, and together with his partner has now founded his own startup, Latam Broker, a wine distribution business started on the strength of his experience working with renound wineries across the region.

In this episide of The Business Breakfast we discuss Ignacio's time as an Olympic Athlete, the difficulties he faced and how and when he made the transition from Olympian to entrepreneur. Furthemore, we discuss what common attributes are necessary to excel both as an athlete and as an entrepreneur. You can find out more about Ignacio here:
