DAVID DOUILLET—1.80M AND 80KG AT AGE 11: FROM TOP JUDOKA TO POLITICIAN, HE REVEALS WHAT GOES ON BEHIND THE SCENES

Thanks to David Douillet for joining us on LEGEND. The former judoka and politician came to discuss the defining moments of his career. We revisited the days he became an Olympic champion and a government minister. We also talked about his private life, his children, and his blended family. He also introduced his new project: Harvey. These are residences for students and young professionals designed to provide housing while combating loneliness by bringing residents together in one place. The Harvey project in Biscarrosse was funded via the Bricks platform; that is why Cédric O’Neil, the founder of Bricks, also appeared on the show.
