It’s fair to say Nicola Adams has helped to define this sporting decade. A double Olympic gold medallist, she's been one of the biggest sporting personalities in the country ever since she burst onto the national scene as one of the faces of London 2012. Add to that her achievements as a Commonwealth, World and European champion - as well as success when she turned pro - and it's no wonder she's incredibly proud of what she achieved, not only inside the ring but outside the ropes as well. We've wanted to have Nicola on the podcast since we began more than a year ago - and we're so glad we've finally managed to make it happen. There's loads going on in this episode - from making ends meet as an amateur to what comes next after Nicola's retirement - and we're privileged to have had the chance to get so much of this sporting superstar's time. Honestly, it's one of our favourite episodes yet. WANT TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT OUR GUEST? @NicolaAdamsOBE www.nicola-adams.com Reporter: Jack Murley.

Welcome back to Ctrl Alt Delete Podcast – this is a very special one! I got to record a very special episode at the Queen’s Young Leaders Ceremony from Buckingham Palace…(and I got meet the Queen!) I was there to celebrate the Queen’s Young Leaders Award. It’s a real honour to be there for the final ever Queen’s Young Leader Award ceremony and celebrate the amazing work these young people are doing all over the Commonwealth. Collectively, they’re tackling a huge range of issues, from climate change, to mental health stigma, to gender based violence. These guys really show just how important young people are to tackling some of the world’s most pressing problems. I chatted to Siposetu Sethu Mbuli from South Africa. Siposetu is developing new ways to end the stigma of albinism in South Africa. Growing up with albinism herself, and mindful of the misconceptions that still exist around it, Siposetu co-founded Love, This Skin. I also chatted to Harry Phinda, who promotes the rights of women and girls through education. He is the co-founder of Youth for Change (YFC), which is a global youth led organisation that works in partnership with organisations and governments to tackle gender-based violence and to create positive change. You will also be inspired by Alexia Hilbertidou, who is inspiring young women in New Zealand to become leaders in the fields of science, technology, engineering and maths (also known as STEM), leadership and entrepreneurship. In the Green Drawing Room at Buckingham Palace, I chatted with YouTuber Caspar Lee, Nicola Adams OBE and some more of the Queens Young Leaders themselves. The young people dedicated to changing the world received a Queen’s Young Leader Award from Her Majesty The Queen at Buckingham Palace. This year’s group of Award winners are from 38 Commonwealth countries and work across a wide range of issues and are finding solutions to global issues such as climate change, food scarcity, gender-based violence, mental health, and access to education. Now in its fourth and final year, the Programme has created a powerful network of 240 Award winners who have incredible leadership potential and passion to make the world a better place. The now complete Queen’s Young Leaders network is a lasting legacy to Her Majesty The Queen, as they connect, collaborate and continue to change lives for years to come. Hosted on Acast.
