Unboxed Podcast

Today on Unboxed, I’m joined by Daniel Wiffen.
An Olympic gold and Bronze Medalist, two-time World Champion and four-time European Short Course Champion .
One of the best swimmers in the world.
But also someone building a life outside the pool — from almost at 100 thousand YouTube channel, to wanting Timothée Chalamet to play you in a movie.

We talk about success, pressure, and the moments that matter just as much as medals — like being able to pay for his parents to travel and sit in the stands to watch him swim.
This episode isn’t about race splits or times.
It’s about identity, expectation, family, and what really changes — and what doesn’t — when you reach the very top.
This is Daniel Wiffen, unboxed.”
