from Project Possible with Rich Leigh · host Rich Leigh
Natasha 'Mo' Hunt and England captain Zoe Stratford OBE are World Cup winners, back-to-back-to-back league champions and co-captains of Gloucester-Hartpury, one of the most dominant teams in English rugby. Zoe was named World Player of the Year in 2021, and Mo won the RPA Player of the Season Award in 2023.But this conversation - my first with more than one guest - isn’t just about trophies.From mopping floors weeks after lifting the World Cup, to balancing 9-5 jobs with elite performance, to walking out at a packed Twickenham in front of 80,000 people, this is a conversation about mindset, leadership and belief.We talk about:- The moment Zoe knew they had won the World Cup- What it really felt like stepping off the bus at Twickenham- The inaugural women's Lions tour- The unseen graft behind women’s rugby- How Gloucester-Hartpury built and maintain a winning culture- The difference between winning once… and staying on top- Leadership, difficult conversations and the power of care- What still drives them nowThis is a conversation about standards. About belief.About building something bigger than yourself.Mo and Zoe's relationship shines in the chat, and it was a privilege to sit and chat with two legends of the sport.=====Interviews that might just change your life. And if not…? You’ll probably enjoy them anyway.While we're all trying to be better versions of ourselves, this podcast asks: 'what's truly possible?'Project Possible, hosted by me, Rich Leigh, explores this with incredible guests from the world of business, sport, entertainment and academia.Between the second and third series, I made the decision to go full-time on this show.I sold my successful 10 year old PR agency after my youngest brother Jordan took his own life.
