    Is there such a thing as destiny?

    Is your future pre-ordained?

    Is it possible to be born a high-achiever, guaranteed to succeed?

    In this podcast, 14 x World Champion Cyclist, Neil Fachie MBE and presenter John Mellis ask high achievers exactly that and about their best habits and behaviours in an effort to build a tool box allowing everyone the chance to prosper at an elite level.

    In Episode 2, as Neil makes final preparations to represent Great Britain once more, going for cycling gold at the Paralympic Games in Tokyo, here on the podcast (recorded earlier in the Summer), we're meeting out first guest proper, Dame Evelyn Glennie.

    She discusses losing her hearing at a young age and how she subsequently learned to interpret sound differently, allowing her to excel musically in a mainstream education in the North East of Scotland before embarking on a journey which saw her become the world's first solo percussionist, a role she created in her mind and then inhabited, in a game-changing moment in musical history.

    Evelyn talks candidly about whether she pays heed to critics, explains her drive and purpose, as well as what's in her toolbox for success.
