In the 7th edition of OUR VOICES, 3-time Olympian & 12-time Great Britain National Champion, Robert Weir, shares a very personal account of his journey as professional athlete & coach.

One of 7 raised by Jamaican parents, he was taught early how to hold his own & to expect to work twice as hard. Early injustice fueled his drive to control his own destiny (21:00).

Robert shares keys to competing at the highest levels and his choices between business & athletics, harnessing his competitive spirit throughout. Coaching elite athletes was serendipity; humbly, he details his profound impact on Olympians in multiple sports and professionals in medicine & banking, alike.

Robert talks about parenting, regrets & ways he finds common ground when people are at odds. He implores: help others; reach for the stars.
