Connect With Confidence - with Kerrie Phipps

Strangers, Supporters, and Riding Free, With Imtiaz Anees

Listen Later

Imtiaz Anees shares his journey as an Olympian in this highly energetic conversation, and his gratitude for the supporters in his life, especially his mother - and strangers he met along the way, from all over the world.

Author of Riding Free - My Olympic Journey, Imtiaz connects genuinely with people, and brings a special kind of zest to the Connect With Confidence podcast.

Starting with his early childhood days in India, Imtiaz recalls himself as being a meek kid who always dreamt of representing India at the Olympic games. He cherishes memories where he would do victory speeches in front of guests who visited his house. As Imtiaz considered various sports, his life pulled him towards choosing horse riding as his sport. He shares his beautiful journey of ups and downs, with stories of three key women who shaped his life and created a positive impact.


And we especially loved the stories of his years in Australia, with Marcus Oldham College and NEGS stories! These are famous Australian educators with significant national and global influence.  

His conversation will light you up, as he talks about many people who went out of their way to help him reach his goals. This is one of those conversations that can restore your faith in humanity. If you love it too, please share!
