This week we’re joined by Jonty Warneken. Jonty’s story is incredibly moving. His career ambitions, which we explore in our interview, took a significant change of direction, following a horrendous car accident at the age of 22. A leg amputation and rebuilt skull followed, alongside an 8-month stay in hospital. Jonty takes us on the journey of what happened next, how he had to find a new path. This quest took him to several world firsts for a disabled person, and we explore what that was like when doctors or experts in the field didn’t have the answer. How do you ski in minus 30 with a metal components forming your leg, how do you swim in icy water with titanium plates holding your skull together? Jonty’s black and white view on what he is capable of is fascinating and we really hope you enjoy this interview.
