S1:E6 - A wonderful tale of triumph over adversity with former premiership rugby star, Ed Jackson.

It’s a phrase we throw around very freely these days, but it’s not until you hear stories like Ed’s that you’re reminded of what real adversity looks like, and what it takes to tackle it.

From Bath and Wasps to London Welsh and Dragons, Ed represented several of the UK’s leading rugby clubs and was a highly respected pro, when in his late twenties he suffered a severe spinal injury that abruptly ended his rugby career.

Fast forward five years and Ed can be found atop some of the world’s highest mountains and broadcasting in front of the TV cameras, whilst also raising huge sums for charity.

Simon & Tom pick up the story in this week’s Podium Podcast.
