Going for Gold – Spencer Gore on ambition, achievement, and audacious boardroom and pitch side goals.

Dylan Carroll sits down with trailblazing entrepreneur and football club chairman Spencer Gore, in the latest inspiring episode of Outward Bound and Me. Long before founding the European and American Medical Journals, earning a Queen’s Award for running one of the UK's fastest-growing businesses, and becoming owner and chairman of his hometown club, Chelmsford City Football Club, Spencer Gore attended a life-changing three-week Outward Bound course in 1994, to discover firsthand that nothing great is ever achieved in your comfort zone.   In this advice-fuelled and reflective conversation, Gore breaks down the relentless mindset that drove him to become a multi-award-winning business leader. He reflects on his dyslexia as a superpower, setting ‘big, hairy, audacious goals’, and believing that to achieve extraordinary success, you must be prepared to do what 99% of people won't. Gore explains how the wilderness taught him humility, teamwork, and the crucial habit of celebrating mistakes rather than fearing them. These foundational Outward Bound lessons directly shaped his career and the culture of the successful teams he builds and leads.   Will we see Chelmsford City lift the Premiership title before 2038? With Spencer encouraging others to take every opportunity by creating gold-medal-winning team environments, anything is possible.
