Summary

Joining Adrienne in the studio today is the brilliant Maggie Alphonsi. Before announcing her retirement from international rugby in 2014, Maggie represented her country an impressive 74 times, scored 28 tries, and helped England win a record breaking seven consecutive Six Nations crowns. She was also a crucial member of the team that won the 2014 Rugby World Cup for the first time in 20 years and was part of the team that was crowned the BBC’s Sports Personality Team of the Year. Through her England rugby career she has become a household name but also a media professional, and since retiring she has commentated on live rugby matches for SKY Sports, BT Sport and the BBC. In 2015 she became the first ever former female player to commentate on men’s international rugby when she was signed up by ITV for the Rugby World Cup, and she continues to work with ITV Sport across their rugby coverage.

The Power Hour podcast gets to know other people’s processes to greatness. Join Adrienne as she invites guest speakers from coaches, creatives and innovators to discuss their daily habits and the key to achieving personal success and well-being.

Whether you want to build a business, write a book or run a marathon, the Power Hour is going to help you get there faster!

0:12.0	So I've learned to embrace failure now. Like if I make a mistake, it's okay because I will grow from that. So I think competition creates that, that success and that failure, but then learning

1:42.4	I'm so, so happy to have you here.
2:01.9	I always start the show by taking it back to the start and I know that you were born here in London in Lewisham, raised by your Nigerian mum. So can you tell us, tell the guests a little bit about you and your journey. I would really love to know how you first got into sport and how you first discovered rugby. Yeah, so I guess my journey officially did start back in Lewisham, South London, and I guess my journey started from when I was
2:07.6	born. So when I was born, I was born in a physical disability called Clubfoot, so it's where one or both your feet
