The podcast for normal people who want to do abnormal things.
Hey, I am Pete Laverick, an Ex-professional athlete living a pretty normal life in Hong Kong. I talk to people who many of us view as 'abnormal', or having achieved abnormal things.
I want to know if these 'abnormal' people are that much different from the rest of us, what was it that made them go from being normal people, living normal lives, to wanting to do something completely different and make that first step outside of their comfort zone.

Siobhan Haughey just won gold at the National Games — but her story started long before the headlines.
In this conversation, recorded just after the Paris Olympics, Siobhan opens up about the real life behind being Hong Kong’s most decorated athlete. She talks about the mental toll of elite sport, what it feels like to carry a city’s expectations, and how she stays grounded while constantly chasing progress.
We also talk about her path from the University of Michigan to Olympic medals, her views on psychology and pressure, and what life might look like after swimming.
This is a rare, honest look at what it takes to perform at the highest level — and how to stay human while doing it.
