Sobre este episodio
<p>What limiting beliefs do you hold about yourself? Spencer Matthews has embraced his sense of adventure in order to explore his full potential.</p><br><p>In this chat with Fearne, Spencer gets into the shame he felt while he was drinking, why he’s now channelling his addictive nature into running instead, and how to avoid blaming everyone else for your own issues. He also explains how seeking approval from his parents drove him, and why his relationship with his own daughter is so special now.</p><br><p>Spencer is currently attempting his second World Record - PROJECT SE7EN. This physical and mental feat will see Spencer take on <strong>7 full-distance triathlons </strong>(3.8km swim, 180km bike, 42.4km run) on all 7 continents in just 21 days.
