Had a great talk after work from Dudley 'Tal' Stokes, a founder member of the Jamaican Bobsled team that were immortalised in the film Cool Runnings.

My company were running a mental health awareness month, and Dudley was the motivational speaker at the end of it.  

Great to hear his story and the fact that it took him a while to get over the fact that the movie was inspired by events, not a documentary.  The first time he watched it end-to-end was early in lockdown when he live streamed his reaction!

He had an inspiring story of how he picked himself up from the crash portrayed in the film to beat some of the favourites at the following winter olympics.
