Rimla Akhtar is a sports leader and changemaker who has broken barriers throughout her career. From representing Great Britain as part of the first Muslim women's football team to becoming the first Muslim woman on the Football Association board, her journey has been guided by purpose rather than personal ambition. 


In this conversation with Jo, Rimla reflects on growing up in North London, the influence of her family and faith, and why leadership is about leaving things better than you found them. She shares how trusting the process, rather than chasing titles, has shaped every stage of her remarkable career. 


This episode is for anyone striving to create lasting change. Rimla's story will inspire you to swim against the tide of ego and lead with purpose.
