Alice Thorneycroft talks to some of the highest achieving people on the planet to find out their history and what makes them Brilliant Minds. In this episode Alice sits down with a man who didn't just run—he redefined the landscape of British athletics. Linford Christie remains a singular titan of the track, the only British male sprinter to achieve the elusive ‘Grand Slam’ by holding Olympic, World, European, and Commonwealth titles simultaneously.

Alice digs beneath the surface of his dominance to uncover the mindset that sustained him. Beyond the gold medals Christie shares his journey as a mentor and coach, offering a candid look at how he navigated both the roaring cheers of a stadium and the weight of the toughest headlines.
