Can a sporting event really change the world? It might sound crazy, but with the right ingredients, I think it can.

My guest on this week\\u2019s podcast is Michael Lemmel, co-founder of Swimrun, a sporting experience that\\u2019s taken the world by storm. What began as a drunken bet between friends, to swim and run between islands off Sweden, evolved into an organised endurance event and now an eco-conscious, global phenomenon, attracting people of all ages and abilities.

You run in your wetsuit, swim in your shoes and complete a series of short swims and trail runs, all with a partner. I did my first Swimrun in Devon last summer, and myself and my nine-year-old son are now total converts. Michael and I chatted just before our third event, in Malta, and I was keen to find out why he thinks it\\u2019s such a transformative experience.

But this week\\u2019s episode is definitely not just for outdoor sports enthusiasts \\u2013 it\\u2019s about the power of nature, the joy of coming together with others. It\\u2019s about stepping outside of your comfort zone, becoming a better person \\u2013 and, yes, making the world a better place.
