Through this podcast series, Paul Griffiths and Luke Johnson from Aspire Active Partnerships aim to discover The Active Code. What is takes to be a successful leader and leading organisations towards combatting inactivity to help more children, be more active, more often. We are not alone through this journey – we are joined by business owners and leaders from in and outside of the sports coaching and children's activity sector who share what physical activity means to them, how they lead their organisation to achieve their company mission, and what they believe is The Active Code.
