About this listen

At sixteen, Maggie Roberts broke her back three weeks before the Olympic diving trials. Eight months later, at three in the morning, she made a decision that would define her life: she went for a run. "The pain of my injury was less than the pain of standing still."

From that moment of choosing movement over stillness came a scholarship to the University of Hawaii, three degrees, three years as the WAC Athlete of the Year, and, ultimately, becoming CEO of Creative Factory at just twenty-five. Eighteen years later, she's never stopped moving forward.

In this conversation, Maggie shares her five-point daily framework for maintaining momentum, how visualisation took her from world champion at nine to boardroom success, and why harmony resides on expectations. A powerful exploration of what truly matters versus what seems to matter, and the decision to keep moving forward, one step at a time.
