Ragga Ragnars (Ragnheiður Ragnarsdóttir) is a 2x Olympic swimmer and actress from Iceland. You might recognise her from the hit television show, Vikings. 
Brett & Raggna talk about swimming in Iceland, manifesting goals, using the discipline she learned from swimming in her acting, and how to swing a sword.   
Iceland has the world's best swimming curriculum. One third of their physical education classes are swimming. All Icelanders know how to swim extremely well and therefore have almost no drownings year after year.
