1 00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:14,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, judge who you associate with by the things you 2 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,600 Speaker 1: talk to them about. Do you ever notice certain people 3 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,080 Speaker 1: you're only gossiping. You get on the phone, you're just 4 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,160 Speaker 1: gossip and you're just talking bad about other people. Are 5 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,439 Speaker 1: listening to someone tell you and you just sort of like, wait, 6 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 1: tell me what's the latest about this? And you're always 7 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 1: going to them for that, like you're hitting the vein 8 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: for that. Or certain people they only want to talk 9 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,280 Speaker 1: about reality television or the housewives. That was a situation 10 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: where certain people only want to talk about that, which 11 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 1: I never want to talk about. And even when you 12 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: were on the show. Some people you just have a 13 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,880 Speaker 1: life with and just talk about life. And then there's 14 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,160 Speaker 1: some people that constantly want to be producing their own 15 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 1: life and taking their own pictures and having people take 16 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 1: pictures of them and the filter and they only want 17 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 1: to talk about the drama with the housewives in your 18 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 1: city and other cities. And that's not for me either. 19 00:00:55,240 --> 00:01:00,160 Speaker 1: So I've realized that you can really really judge who 20 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: you're associating with by the conversations you're having with them, 21 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: and that's a good way to decide whether they should 22 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 1: be in your life or not. If that's something that 23 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:10,960 Speaker 1: works for you, because sometimes don't you feel a little 24 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 1: grows after a certain conversation, like did I what was that? 25 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: And do I feel good about that? And did I 26 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 1: even want to talk about that? I was a like 27 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,960 Speaker 1: junk food conversation. I also have been seeing a lot 28 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: on social media people commenting and discussing their own breakups publicly. 29 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 1: This person speaks out on the details of their breakup, 30 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,960 Speaker 1: and it's always the woman who was cheated on what 31 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: the guy was cheated on. We they loved the person, 32 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 1: they were so happy. It was prince charming. They were 33 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: in the greatest love affair of all time. We all 34 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: need to be envious because of how amazing it is 35 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: and the jewelry and the vacations. And now all of 36 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: a sudden we're called cocked with this person who's a 37 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: cheater that we probably thought was a cheater anyway, We 38 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: just didn't voice that out loud because someone so happy 39 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: in their public relationship. And then now this person drags 40 00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: it all over the place, the breakup, like shut up? 41 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: Why are people talking actively? Proactively? My breakup was public, 42 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: it was publicized. It was embarrassing. I wanted to go away. 43 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: I did not say what was really going on for 44 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: years because I subscribed to You don't want to add 45 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:18,959 Speaker 1: gasoline to the fire, and you don't want to talk 46 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: about it, so you just I would say, it was 47 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 1: excruciating and it was brutal, and keep it moving. You 48 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: just didn't want to to do that, and you don't 49 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 1: want to do that to your kids, And it's just 50 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 1: it's just inappropriate. So I don't know why people feel 51 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: the need to go in very serious detail in the public, 52 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: in the media, go into very serious detail about their breakups. 53 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 1: I just find it to be very, very tacky. It's 54 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 1: just so tempting. I bet you it's so tempting for 55 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:46,359 Speaker 1: them to get the last word. But by the way, 56 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 1: when you do stuff like that, even in public, even 57 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: if you're gossiping with friends, it's a boomerang. My guest 58 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 1: today is Lindsay Vonne. I'm so excited. She's an Olympical medallist, 59 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: in four time World Cup overall champion.

But of course it wasn't 62 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: all wins and awards. She shares with us how her 63 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: crashes and failures always taught her something, lessons she has 64 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: taken into the business world and onto the newest chapter 65 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: of her life. I am such a fan, was so 66 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: excited to meet her. You are going to leave this 67 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 1: one inspired enjoy. You grew up in is it it 68 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 1: was in Minnesota? Yeah? I grew up in Minnesota. Yeah, 69 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: sweet Cemer in Minnesota. Do you go back? I do 70 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: just back actually for for Thanksgiving to visit my family 71 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: and what is it like there? And what was it 72 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: like growing up there? What was your family like? And 73 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: what was the meaning of success in your family and 74 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: work and business and uh money, that kind of thing. 75 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: Um well, growing up in Minnesota, it was very cold. 76 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: That's like biggest memory I have. Um. But my dad 77 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: and my mom were both lawyers. I'm the oldest of 78 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: five kids. Um so I think success, uh, you know, 79 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: from my family perspective was more of a testament of 80 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,479 Speaker 1: hard work. You know, how hard you are willing to 81 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: work and um never really you know, there was not 82 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,720 Speaker 1: really a baseline for what success meant, but it was 83 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 1: kind of a given that you had to work hard. 84 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,919 Speaker 1: And my my dad grew up in Wisconsin. My grandfather 85 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: was a was in kind of construction and uh so 86 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 1: it was you know, he grew up being very physical, UM, 87 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: from a labor perspective, and so, you know, we're always 88 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: taught to be very tough, and I think that helped me, Um, 89 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: growing up, not just in my sport, but also kind 90 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: of in the business world and you know, always having 91 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 1: to we're thinking about working and thinking about big picture 92 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: and what it all meant and how it all tied 93 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: together and how do I make something more of myself 94 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: than just being a skier. What about your siblings? They 95 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: do you feel that that same recipe worked for them 96 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 1: and they all real hard workers. Yeah. You know my 97 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: sister that's right below me, she's four years younger, UM, 98 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 1: and she she my dad always jokes that she eats 99 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: robbed me for breakfast. You know, she's not promoted in 100 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: six months. She's you know, she's gonna call someone and 101 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: be super piste. So you know, she's definitely very very 102 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: hungry for um, you know, for just life and trying 103 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: to you know, move up in the world. And the 104 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: youngest three are triplets, UM, and they're all very different. 105 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: I think they all work hard in their own way. Yeah, 106 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: my brother is said to be an architect. My other 107 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 1: brother is starting to be the learning to be a paralegal, 108 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: and my sister runs my foundation. So they're all very 109 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 1: driven in their own way. Yeah. Interesting, Well that's something 110 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: to there's something to be said for raising kids that 111 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: have a work ethic. It's not as easy as it 112 00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 1: used to be for some people, particularly me. It's it's 113 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 1: it's raising kids when you have success and money is 114 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: has its own challenges because we didn't grow up that way. UM. 115 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: So your dad I read about you, and some of 116 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: it could be inaccurate. It said that your dad really 117 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 1: sort of pushed you into the sport. You were on 118 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: skis at two. So your dad, I don't want to 119 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,160 Speaker 1: say pressure, I don't want to put words in your mouth, 120 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: but your dad was driven and focused on your behalf 121 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 1: as a child is not true. Um. I mean I 122 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 1: think he was passionate about skiing and you know obviously 123 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: got me into it young. I was spent two and 124 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 1: a half. But um, I always love skiing. I mean 125 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 1: I tried a lot of other sports, you know. My 126 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 1: dad was, UM, made sure I had opportunities to at 127 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,480 Speaker 1: least try other things. Um, I just was really bad 128 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: at everything. Um, and you know, he definitely he didn't 129 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,479 Speaker 1: push me, but he guided me. And he you know, 130 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 1: I if I I said I wanted to be an 131 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: Olympics when I was nine years old, um, and so 132 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 1: he was like, if you want this, you can, you can, 133 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: you can get there, but it's going to be a 134 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 1: very tough road. And I accepted that challenge and so 135 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: he helped kind of guide me. And yeah, so it's 136 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 1: like I kind of talked about in my book, but 137 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: it was there was definitely a lot of challenges and 138 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 1: definitely times what he did push me, but I asked 139 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: for it, um every time, because I knew that it 140 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: was going to be hard to get to where I 141 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: wanted to go and I needed some guidance. Well, that's 142 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: an interesting thing to discuss basically. So um many people 143 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: that I know have kids that they want to do 144 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: ballet and then they see a movie and they want 145 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: to do gymnastics. And I want to be a singer 146 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: and I'm an artist. My daughter is always stuck to art. 147 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: That's the one thing I guess if you can look 148 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: at the signs, you see what your child really is 149 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: gravitating towards and then find the balance of how to 150 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: nurture that because you kind of want to let them 151 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: do what they want, but they do need that structure. 152 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: Meaning I just got a serious art teacher because she's 153 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: amazing at art. But you do need the discipline, just 154 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: like you need to know. You needed a discipline and 155 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: how to ski, so then when you got into really 156 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 1: treacherous situations, you always have your good foundation. But to 157 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: be nine years old and know what you want, I mean, parents, 158 00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: we have to we have to be able to listen 159 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: and hear the signs and and to have a conversation 160 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: with a nine year old about commitment and being serious 161 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 1: about something that's a gift, not not I would imagine 162 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: kid kids are not like that. They like things more 163 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: than others. But to be that successful at something that's 164 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: a unique focus, very very young. Yeah, I mean, it's 165 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: definitely not normal. I think that. You know, I was 166 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: so focused at that age, and I was I mean, 167 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: I started bracing when I was seven. Um, you know, 168 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: I started traveling to camps by myself in the summer 169 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: when I was eight, and my first international trip was 170 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: by myself when I was nine. So it's definitely I 171 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: feel like maybe at this day and age, you wouldn't 172 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 1: send your kid um at nine overseas. But um, you know, 173 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 1: I think my dad saw in me that I was 174 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: willing to work hard to achieve my goals. And you know, 175 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: he said, if you work hard, will work hard. You know, 176 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 1: it's a two way street. And um, I think you know, 177 00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 1: most kids, they don't have the determination in order, I 178 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: think the patience for it. And I think that's more 179 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 1: a product of our society now with instant gratification that 180 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: you know, there's just so many options and everyone wants 181 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,679 Speaker 1: to do what's the coolest thing at the time, and 182 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 1: no one really stays to focus on on one thing 183 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,959 Speaker 1: for long enough to be good at it. Um, So 184 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,079 Speaker 1: I think I think it's uh, this da age is 185 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,199 Speaker 1: a little bit a little bit trickier. Well, that's inspirational 186 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 1: for me, particularly my daughter is not a person who's 187 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: on her phone all the time, and for for that 188 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: that inspires me and I hope inspires other parents listening. 189 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: If you are seeing signs that your kid is inclined 190 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: to do one thing, trying to figure out a way 191 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,319 Speaker 1: to lead them in that direction and nurture and it 192 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: does take a little bit of a push and a 193 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: little bit of you know, creating the structure. Is being 194 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: a professional athlete harder or being a successful business per 195 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 1: sin It's a great question. I think they both present 196 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: their own challenges. I mean, you know, if I think 197 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 1: about it, I'm trying to be you know, successful in business, 198 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: and I've been in kind of the business world for 199 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: a while just because of you know, my sponsorships and 200 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,320 Speaker 1: you know that aspect of my brand building has been 201 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,679 Speaker 1: going on for a long time. But you know, if 202 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 1: you look at it from skiing, I've been skiing since 203 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 1: I was two and a half, so it's been a 204 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 1: lot of years. You know that I've worked hard to 205 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: be the best in the world. And so I I 206 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: feel like I need to give myself a little bit 207 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,680 Speaker 1: of a break from the business side and make sure 208 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: that i'm you know, not too hard on myself. But 209 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: I want to achieve a lot of a lot of 210 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,839 Speaker 1: things in business, and um, I just have a lot 211 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: more to learn. I guess it's really the answer, um 212 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,680 Speaker 1: to that question. So right now business, So there's definitely parallel, 213 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: definitely a parallel, Yeah, absolutely, And I think you know, 214 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:54,959 Speaker 1: the willingness to you know, sacrifice certain things and to 215 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 1: be um discipline and determined to learn is what got 216 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 1: me to the top, and ski ing and I think 217 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: is what helps what's helping guide me right now in business, 218 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: you know, I'm I'm aware that I'm not the smartest 219 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 1: person in the room. I have a lot to learn, 220 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 1: and I surround myself with people that can that can 221 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 1: teach me, and I hope that that in the end 222 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 1: will result in success. Yeah, I mean everything is business. 223 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: I your life is your business. Your business is your life. 224 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: I have a book that I am finishing called Business 225 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 1: Personal because it's it's it's it really does relate to 226 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 1: so many different areas of your life. Relationships are like business. 227 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: I mean, it's just who you are. How you do 228 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 1: anything is how you do everything. So I think that 229 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 1: sort of simplifies things for people. I think people think 230 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: that there are like different buckets to be different ways 231 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,079 Speaker 1: and do things differently. And I'm not really one of 232 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: those people. Do you. Um, were you afraid when you 233 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: were competing? You ever scared? No, That's why That's why 234 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: I was successful. I think what about now, I'm not 235 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 1: afraid now. I think the risk factor, you know, especially 236 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,319 Speaker 1: in much of capital, is what kind of excites me um, 237 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: you know, taking a bed. But I feel like in 238 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 1: skiing what gave me confidence was my preparation and knowing that, 239 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: you know, there's no possible way that I could have 240 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 1: been any more prepared for every race that I enter, 241 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: which is kind of how I feel in business. You know, 242 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 1: when I go into a meeting. Yes, I'm confident because 243 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 1: I'm prepared and I realized that I'm going to listen 244 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 1: and I'm going to learn. But I'm also, you know, 245 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 1: confident when I do know, and confident in the sense 246 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: that I worked hard to prepare and so that gives 247 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,079 Speaker 1: me like just settles my nerves and and makes me 248 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 1: more confident. It's interesting you say that because very successful 249 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 1: people that I've talked to, when I talk about do 250 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 1: you think you're how what percentage are you lucky and smart? 251 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: And really people say you te yourself up, and you 252 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 1: prepare yourself up, and you set yourself up so then 253 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 1: when luck comes, you're prepared for it. So I think 254 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: that's kind of what you're saying, and I like that 255 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: that's very something that people can cling on too and realize. 256 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 1: And it's true. I did stand up comedy for the 257 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: first time this during the pandemic, and um, I was prepared. 258 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: I decided ten days prior to stand up on stage 259 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 1: and do seven minutes of stand up, which is terrifying 260 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 1: two people and even me. I wouldn't even care if 261 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: people didn't laugh, because I was prepared. I knew what 262 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: I was going to say, what I planned. If I 263 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 1: screwed it up, it's okay. I still I knew what 264 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: I was doing. So I feel like that's just half 265 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 1: the battle. If you go to a wedding and you 266 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 1: give your best man speech and you suck, but you 267 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: were prepared. Okay, everybody flops and I'm sure you've had 268 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 1: shitty races. I'm sure you've had shitty races, but you 269 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,680 Speaker 1: did the best you could and life happens. You can't 270 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 1: hit a home run every time. Yeah, exactly. I think 271 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 1: you know the willingness to to try your best and 272 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 1: and also fail as as important because you learned from 273 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 1: those mistakes as well, So you know, be prepared, be 274 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 1: prepared to make mistakes and then pick yourself back up 275 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,959 Speaker 1: and keep doing it again. Yeah. Now, I've spoken to 276 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,679 Speaker 1: several women, and we all have a different perspective on this. 277 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: We come in a different way. So for me and 278 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 1: this woman that I had on She was a former 279 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 1: secret secret service for many presidents and a tough, tough, 280 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 1: little beautiful, blonde spitfire. She and I both never thought 281 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: about gender. We just don't think about it. I mean we, 282 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,319 Speaker 1: I know, and that's annoys people because we're supposed to 283 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 1: be thinking about what women don't get and you know, 284 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,200 Speaker 1: equal for women. I just went into the liquor business, 285 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: which was a male business, and I never thought about 286 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 1: being a woman or a frog or a man or anything. 287 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 1: I just thought about being me so obviously or in 288 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: a competitive speed sport, dangerous, risky, intense, mail driven. How 289 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: did you feel did you think about that? Did that 290 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 1: not even occur to you? Did you experience hardships regarding that? 291 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: What was your experience with gender in that sport? I 292 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: never even thought about it, Um, I think similar to you. 293 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 1: You know, it just wasn't something that I didn't grow 294 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: up thinking about, Oh you can't do that because you're 295 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: a girl. You know, I didn't. I just never thought 296 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: about it. Um. I was a felt like if I 297 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: just focused on working hard, I would achieve things that 298 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 1: I wanted to achieve. And um, the only time I 299 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: really experienced. It was at the end of my career 300 00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: when I wanted to race against the men, and I 301 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: was it was repeatedly shut down because I've kind of 302 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 1: gotten to a point where, um, you know, I wanted 303 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: to challenge myself in any way, and I you know, 304 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 1: I want so many races on the women's side. And 305 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 1: I trained with the men all the time because you know, 306 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: I want to train with the best, and that's just 307 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 1: what they They're physically much stronger than we are, and 308 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 1: they skied differently, and I tried to emulate them. Um, 309 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 1: but I wanted to race against them, and uh, I 310 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 1: was shut down. And so I was pretty irritated with 311 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: that because you'd like to see how that would shake down. 312 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: You'd love to see, like when push comes to show 313 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: how well you do. Yeah, I mean I've trained with 314 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: them all the time and I'm right there with them, 315 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: and um, you know, I was not expecting to beat 316 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: all of them by any means. But you know, for me, 317 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: it was it's like an I guess orne stand. You know, 318 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: she wanted to improve he game and she competed against 319 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 1: the mena she was allowed to. Um, you know, I 320 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 1: there's definitely a couple of women that that I've done it, 321 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 1: and uh, you know it was it's a it's your 322 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 1: point was it's a male dominated sport, you know, male control, 323 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 1: They control the rules, and and they definitely had no 324 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 1: interest in letting me do that. Well. Interesting, and then 325 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 1: you know there's always like comments when we train and 326 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 1: and things like that that like the men are you know, 327 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: the race horses and the women are the pony show. 328 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: You know, it's it's there's always comments like that, But 329 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 1: I never really that didn't bother me because I know, 330 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 1: I know, I just felt like winning would take care 331 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 1: of that. Yeah, So for people listening, there are too 332 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: There are many ways to enter a conversation. Someone like 333 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 1: Cheryl Sandberg has written books and discusses very heavily the 334 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 1: disparity and what women need to be doing, etcetera. And 335 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 1: someone like me and you and this, we don't think 336 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 1: about it. We just said be better than the men. 337 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 1: Just be the best. Plow through. So there are many ways. 338 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 1: You don't have to teach your kids one way or 339 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 1: the other. And sometimes by thinking about all the obstacles 340 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 1: we have, it can if you hesitate in skiing, you're lost. 341 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: You can't hesitate, you gotta just plow through. So sometimes 342 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 1: we spend a lot of time thinking about what we're 343 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 1: not getting and talking about it. You might get in 344 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: your head versus just like, let's go. I didn't even 345 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 1: think about that, so I just it's just another perspective 346 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 1: I think is interesting. Yeah, for sure, Do you still 347 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 1: love to ski? Because sometimes people get full like they've 348 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 1: had so much of it in a different way. So 349 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,639 Speaker 1: if I'm in Aspen and I see you and I 350 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 1: want you to ski with me, snowboard which should be laughing. 351 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm actually a good snowboarder, by the way, 352 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:16,639 Speaker 1: I've been doing it for like twenty five years, But 353 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,200 Speaker 1: I don't think I'm as good as you. I just 354 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,120 Speaker 1: I've only snow once in my life, so I better. 355 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,200 Speaker 1: If I got on a snowboard, you'd probably beat me. Well, 356 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 1: I'm not sure, but we'll see. But if we wanted 357 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 1: to go, would you enjoy it or it's sort of 358 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: like you've done it, you didn't. Yeah, I wouldn't know. Yeah, 359 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,440 Speaker 1: I know, I wouldn't know. I think it took me 360 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 1: about a year to kind of get back into it 361 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:38,639 Speaker 1: because I associated skiing for a long time with pain. Um, 362 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 1: you know, I just dealt with so many injuries that 363 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 1: the correlation was very strong in my mind. And so, 364 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 1: you know, I took the year and then I you know, 365 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 1: kind of slowly eased my way back in and you know, 366 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,879 Speaker 1: skiing for fun is a lot different and my body 367 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: hurt a lot less, and so I, um, I re 368 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,639 Speaker 1: established the relationship, but between you know, having fun and 369 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 1: skiing and um not having as much pain. And I 370 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 1: also got skied with my family for the first time 371 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: since I was like twelve. Oh my god. Really, yeah, 372 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 1: I hadn't skiped with my family. You know, we're I'm 373 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 1: always at racing racist and they would come to watch me, 374 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 1: but you know, they're not actually skiing with me. So, um, 375 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 1: I re established that relationship. It's a different relationship with 376 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,439 Speaker 1: the sport. That's interesting. Yeah, that's not you have to 377 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 1: because it's about training and about what you're eating and 378 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,400 Speaker 1: about your time, and it's got to get in your head. 379 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,439 Speaker 1: And now it's sort of just like, can you need 380 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 1: a relationship with it to just be that you enjoy it. 381 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:37,880 Speaker 1: It's like a good friend you don't have to see 382 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 1: all the time, but when you see them, you're happy 383 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 1: to be together. Exactly what has been your rose and 384 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 1: your thorn of your business. And I'm going to include 385 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 1: being an athlete as your business because it has been 386 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:51,159 Speaker 1: obviously I mean yeah, I mean I think in my 387 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:55,440 Speaker 1: career from a skiing perspective or business or both, but 388 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 1: your whole career trajectory, I mean obviously yeah, maybe I 389 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 1: guess since you're nine, but you know, since you can remember, 390 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 1: like the journey of getting there and success, what your 391 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 1: what your best was, what your worst was, and I 392 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 1: guess what you really screwed up on your failures, mistakes 393 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,120 Speaker 1: you've made, and you know the things that you really now. 394 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I made a lot of mistakes along the way. 395 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 1: I mean, um, you know obviously I crashed a lot, 396 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: I was injured a lot, um, But you know, my 397 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 1: mentality of you know, pushing myself always to my limit 398 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,639 Speaker 1: was what made me successful. So you know, it was 399 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 1: kind of a double edged sword in many ways most 400 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,640 Speaker 1: of my career. And you know that's been I've been 401 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,439 Speaker 1: like that since the beginning. You know, I've always pushed 402 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: the limits. And um, so I wouldn't change that, you know. 403 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 1: I think again that was the reason why I was 404 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 1: so successful was because I was always pushing myself and 405 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,920 Speaker 1: always wanted to go faster and faster, and there was 406 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,159 Speaker 1: no fear. You know, I'd never let my foot off 407 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,679 Speaker 1: the gas. I would literally, you know, be trying to 408 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,920 Speaker 1: still win the race as I'm crashing into the fences, 409 00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,159 Speaker 1: because I still think that I can make it, you know. Um. 410 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 1: But I think, you know, all of those, all of 411 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,439 Speaker 1: the times I crashed, they always taught me something, whether 412 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 1: you know I made a mistake in you know, my 413 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,120 Speaker 1: inspection of the course, or you know how I thought 414 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,680 Speaker 1: about the course, or um, you know, with my approach wrong. 415 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 1: I I always learned something from it. Um. And same 416 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 1: with my injuries. You know, they really made me a 417 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 1: much tougher competitor, much smarter competitor, because, um, you know, 418 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 1: I had to approach races differently once I was injured. 419 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 1: You know, my body didn't respond the same way and 420 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,360 Speaker 1: I had to really adapt. Um. So all that went 421 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,160 Speaker 1: hand in hand. UM. And it was a learning process, 422 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 1: you know, UM. I think in business, um, you know, 423 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,399 Speaker 1: it just took a long time to build up my brand. 424 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,440 Speaker 1: And you know, skiing is not the most watched for 425 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 1: it in the world. You know, we usually are only 426 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 1: paid attention to once every four years during the Olympics, UM, 427 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 1: and people missed, you know, all of the World Cups 428 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 1: that I want, basically until the very end of my career. UM. 429 00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 1: And so I think for me, it was a matter 430 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 1: of maximizing, you know, the time that I had, and 431 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: you know, when I was um, you know, in the 432 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,639 Speaker 1: World Cup, I really had to work hard to to 433 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:13,479 Speaker 1: be seen and be heard. And most athletes don't approach 434 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,400 Speaker 1: it that way. They think, well, I'm you know, I'm 435 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 1: an athlete and my you know, my athleticism or and 436 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 1: my success will take care of it. But in this 437 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,439 Speaker 1: day and age, it's not. That's not the case. You know, 438 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 1: you really have to work hard to be if you 439 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 1: want to be bigger than the sport, you have to 440 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:31,119 Speaker 1: work exceptionally hard. And UM, a lot of people aren't 441 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,119 Speaker 1: willing to do that. So I think, you know, obviously, 442 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,199 Speaker 1: because I'm sure I made mistakes, but I think my 443 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 1: long term approach was was sound and smart. UM. I 444 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: always went with authentic partners. UM. All my sponsorships are 445 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: long term. I mean the first a female under armour 446 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: athlete or longest standing female under armer athletes twenty almost 447 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 1: twenty years. I've been with them, um, you know Rolex 448 00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 1: land Rover, all of those Red Bull all of those 449 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 1: partner ships have been very long term. And I and 450 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 1: that's how I approached business now is you know, I 451 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 1: look to make partnerships with exceptional people. And I looked 452 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: at their CEOs and you know what do I do. 453 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 1: I believe in them, and you know, the numbers and 454 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 1: sense obviously have to be there, but I think the 455 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 1: leadership is the most important. And you know, I'm friends 456 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: with every CEO that I that I work with from 457 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 1: every company. So those are correlations that I've taken with 458 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 1: me from you know, my my sports career into business 459 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 1: as well. You've charted the course you've learned from your mistakes. 460 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 1: It sounds a lot like business. Like when you've made 461 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 1: a mistake or when you've assessed something improperly, it makes 462 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 1: you stronger. You're pushing yourself. It's exactly like business. That 463 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: happens to me all the time. I'm constantly pushing, I'm 464 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 1: constantly deciding I need want to do it my way, 465 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:47,439 Speaker 1: and sometimes I'm right and sometimes I'm wrong. But you 466 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,880 Speaker 1: can usually turn it into something positive. You don't usually 467 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 1: hit a brick wall and then have to go back. 468 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 1: Usually just go around or dig a hole or figure 469 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,880 Speaker 1: out how to get there. And also I would imagine 470 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:01,359 Speaker 1: so you know, injuries, like people will say to me, 471 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 1: I feel stuck and I've been I've got COVID, or 472 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 1: i haven't seen my family, or I have surgery. And 473 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,199 Speaker 1: I always say, make that meaningful if it means you're 474 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,959 Speaker 1: gonna meditate every day, or you're gonna only drink juices 475 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: and lay in your bed, or you needed this rest 476 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 1: or take a tech cleanse, or try to make the 477 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 1: negative things have meaning versus just barking complaining about it 478 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 1: and the pandemic. Some people turned the pandemic into a 479 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 1: very successful time versus just continuing to be a deer 480 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 1: in headlights and keep complaining about what's going wrong. Find yes, 481 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,440 Speaker 1: it's sort of what I'm saying. It sounds like that's 482 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 1: what you have been doing. Yeah, I mean I I 483 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 1: learned early on from my mother because she had a 484 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 1: stroke when she had me, and um so she she 485 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 1: always physically struggled because she had a limp and she 486 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 1: was never able to ski with me, and we weren't 487 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,640 Speaker 1: really able to do those kinds of things together. But 488 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:53,239 Speaker 1: she never complained like never And um, you know I 489 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 1: looked at that when I was injured. If my mom 490 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 1: doesn't complain and she actually physically cannot recover from this, 491 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 1: why am I complaining? You know, all I have to 492 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 1: do is work hard and I will I will get 493 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:06,159 Speaker 1: over it. Um. So that was always a perspective that 494 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 1: I had. And to your point, you know, I always 495 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 1: found something positive. You know what, what what is this 496 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 1: teaching me? You know, what is this moment? How can 497 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,919 Speaker 1: I make this moment a positive one? And? Um, I 498 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,879 Speaker 1: always ended up making it positive sometimes obviously it was 499 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 1: harder than others. Um, But you know, never complained. I 500 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 1: just figured out a way through. What about personal life? 501 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 1: So you probably you sound like you have a strong personality. 502 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,399 Speaker 1: I mean you seem chill, but I mean you're very driven. 503 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 1: You probably like things the way that you like them. 504 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 1: You are successful. I'm sure that's intimidating. So how has 505 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 1: that and gender played a role in relationship? Like? What 506 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: what do you need? What do you not need? What 507 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:02,879 Speaker 1: have you learned? What does it take to have a 508 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 1: successful relationship? From your perspective? Well, I mean I think 509 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 1: in my skiing career it was difficult because I was 510 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,399 Speaker 1: always so focused on on skiing and UM, you know, 511 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 1: it's hard to really know what you what you want 512 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,959 Speaker 1: all the time because you're so much in a bubble 513 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:23,639 Speaker 1: UM and everything kind of revolves around that. But I think, 514 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: you know, since retiring, I have a much better perspective 515 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 1: on who I am and what I need as a 516 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,400 Speaker 1: person instead of as an athlete UM, which is a big, 517 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 1: big distinction that I've I've had to make UM. And 518 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: I've also learned a lot from my past relationships and 519 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:42,119 Speaker 1: UM definitely what I don't need UM, So you know, 520 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 1: and I think again to the point of maximizing the time, 521 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 1: like in COVID, I really had a it was a 522 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 1: great time for me to reflect on me as the 523 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 1: person and what I need, what I need to be happy, 524 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 1: what what happiness means to me, and so all of 525 00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 1: those things are helping me UM in my personal life especially. 526 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 1: But do you need someone who understands what it is 527 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 1: to be an athlete? Do you need someone who you 528 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 1: are the peacock in the relationship because you're more well 529 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:12,640 Speaker 1: known and they need to sort of be a little 530 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 1: bit more you know, chill UM and the relationship about 531 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 1: success and money, like where that comes into it, you know, 532 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,400 Speaker 1: because I've had this question and challenge myself being such 533 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,919 Speaker 1: a big personality and being a boss. You know, you 534 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 1: have to think about who your partner is going to 535 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 1: be realistically, not just ideally. Yeah, I always thought, I 536 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 1: mean someone that understood what I you know, what I 537 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 1: went through from an athlete perspective. That's you know, I've 538 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 1: always dated athletes, and that's definitely not the case. UM. 539 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,399 Speaker 1: I just think also a lot of times you gravitate 540 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 1: and gravitate towards what you know. Um, and that's what 541 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:52,159 Speaker 1: I knew, and so UM, I think that you know, 542 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: it's important to have a balance and the relationship. You know, 543 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 1: I'm definitely not the peacock. I actually like to have 544 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 1: a backseat. UM. You know, I I actually am. I 545 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,640 Speaker 1: like being at home and you know, cooking and cleaning 546 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 1: to a certain extent obviously, UM. But you know, I 547 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,640 Speaker 1: think it's just important to understand that, you know, there's 548 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,199 Speaker 1: three moments when you know, I am in front of 549 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,119 Speaker 1: a camera and you know people do recognize me, and 550 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 1: that it doesn't um intimidate the person that I'm with. 551 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 1: You know, that's that's the hard part. You know, I'm 552 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:29,159 Speaker 1: not I'm not always I'm not speaking attention, but you know, 553 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,199 Speaker 1: that's just kind of the nature of my life. And 554 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 1: so I need someone that understands that is when to 555 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 1: support me through that. And um before I had not 556 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,120 Speaker 1: found that. Right, you're just playing the game. You're playing 557 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 1: the game. Don't hate the player, hate the game. This 558 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:43,960 Speaker 1: is what you're're working. And but it's interesting what you 559 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 1: said about your identity was being an athlete. Everything was 560 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:48,480 Speaker 1: about being an athlete, being a business person as it 561 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,640 Speaker 1: pertains to being an athlete, and that and that you're 562 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:54,159 Speaker 1: thinking about your relationship, your relationships as it pertains to 563 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,920 Speaker 1: being a woman, a person, which I get because so 564 00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 1: much of our lives are intertwined with how people see us, 565 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,920 Speaker 1: who we are, what our labels are, you know, my 566 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,400 Speaker 1: a TV personality and reality personality, and my own author 567 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,439 Speaker 1: a mogul, a business you know. So I think that 568 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:11,879 Speaker 1: is you have to kind of clear away and think 569 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 1: about who you are as a person, because you're always 570 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:14,680 Speaker 1: going to be a person. You're not always going to 571 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,719 Speaker 1: be an olympian. Yeah, exactly. You always will be an 572 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 1: olympian because you do. You will, but you won't always 573 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:24,399 Speaker 1: be you know, competing a competitive a competitive racer. Yeah, well, 574 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 1: so what is your brand and your business? How do 575 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,199 Speaker 1: you describe it? How do you define it? If I 576 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 1: was meeting you in an elevator and you did not 577 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: know who you were, what would you say? What do 578 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:34,639 Speaker 1: you do for a living? What would you say? I 579 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,919 Speaker 1: would say, I'm entrepreneur, um, I work in venture capital, 580 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 1: I've started a few businesses. I probably wouldn't say anything 581 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 1: about theer racing whatsoever. And that's kind of how I 582 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 1: approach it now. I mean I've actually had when I 583 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 1: was doing some of my uh fundraising for one of 584 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 1: the funds that I'm working with, someone asked me do 585 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 1: you ski? And I was like, not really anymore? And 586 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 1: They're like, what do you mean not anymore? And like 587 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 1: never mind? I yeah, you know, it was just like 588 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 1: that's nice. Yeah, it's it's it's actually nice, Like it's 589 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 1: exciting to be incognito, you know, have a different be 590 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 1: thought of as just you. Because if I weren't an 591 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 1: elevator with you, I would say, wow, what a like 592 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 1: a pretty striking, strong looking woman. But I wouldn't know 593 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 1: that you were you know, I'm I'm in a bubble. 594 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 1: I don't know who anyone is, so I might not. 595 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 1: I might I would probably think you looked familiar and 596 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 1: be like hmm, but I don't think I would know. 597 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 1: So that's interesting. So you are an entrepreneur and you 598 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 1: invest your own money. Yes, always. I always invest my 599 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,800 Speaker 1: money in in any you know, any company that I 600 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 1: work with, any fun that I work with. I always 601 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 1: invest my own money because I feel like it's important 602 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 1: to have your own skin in the game. Otherwise you're 603 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 1: not as motivated or driven to to help but succeed, 604 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 1: and it motivate your partners when they know that you 605 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 1: have skin in the game because you don't have to 606 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 1: you personally don't have to um because they'd love to 607 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 1: have you anyway. What's been the biggest hit, your biggest success. 608 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 1: I've definitely had quite a few. I mean, I think 609 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 1: you know it's early. Invest are in hyper Rice, which 610 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 1: is doing exceptionally well. Beyond meat. I think, um, you 611 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 1: are beyond meat. Yeah, I have asked so many times 612 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 1: to invest. Yeah, Orring is probably my best so far. 613 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 1: But I also just um invested in just Eggs and 614 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 1: you know, things like that. But Ora, you know, I'm 615 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 1: I'm investor and I'm also an ambassador, UM and help 616 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 1: helping them with product development and marketing and things like that. 617 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 1: And UM, I love the CEO Harpre you know. And 618 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 1: that's the thing. I have great relationships with all the 619 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 1: CEOs and I believe in what they're doing. And um, 620 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 1: I think or as some really amazing things for women 621 00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 1: in the future, which I'm working with them on. So 622 00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,720 Speaker 1: so yeah, it's been been good so far. Who who 623 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:48,120 Speaker 1: brings you the deals? Um? It depends. Sometimes companies approach 624 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,720 Speaker 1: me sometimes, UM. You know, I have a couple of 625 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 1: people that I work with now that are kind of 626 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 1: advising me on my team and they get deal flow 627 00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 1: as well. So it's a kind of a combination. And UM, 628 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,480 Speaker 1: you know, of course, you know, companies that come to 629 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,880 Speaker 1: me through the through you know, the funds, you know, 630 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 1: it's always potential to work with those companies as well. UM. 631 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 1: So you know, and again, I think the world is 632 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 1: really small, and through the contacts that I've made with Skiing, 633 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 1: I think that's also translated into into um, the venture 634 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 1: capital world as as well. And you know, a lot 635 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 1: of a lot of people trust my opinion, especially when 636 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 1: it comes to help and wellness and fitness and companies 637 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 1: like that, which there are a lot of um so 638 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 1: it's been it's been great to work with those guys 639 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 1: on that.

But yeah, your hair is beautiful, but 647 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,280 Speaker 1: your makeup is excellent. I can't believe that. I was 648 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:06,959 Speaker 1: going to say, could I hid at them? So if 649 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,200 Speaker 1: you if the VC thing doesn't work out the way 650 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,480 Speaker 1: you did, your eyes looks like a Bobby Browning.

It's called Rise, Rise Okay, awesome, 665 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 1: And it's basically like a memoir. It's just your story 666 00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 1: of success. Yeah. I fallen and I get back up, 667 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,160 Speaker 1: and that's kind of the story of my life. So 668 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 1: rise my story. This isn't your first book, is it. No, 669 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,680 Speaker 1: this is my second book. I wrote a book called 670 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 1: Strong as Beautiful, which is kind of a fitness health 671 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 1: and wellness you know, except who you are and your body, um, 672 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,520 Speaker 1: which I really enjoyed writing. So and did you enjoy 673 00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 1: writing this one too? I did. Um. I actually wrote 674 00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 1: it twice, so it was um, it was. It was 675 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,840 Speaker 1: a more difficult journey. I'd say, Um, I wrote a 676 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:26,520 Speaker 1: whole book and then I didn't like it, and I 677 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,480 Speaker 1: started over. I did the same thing. It's it's you know, 678 00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 1: you want to get it right, and so I. You know, 679 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:35,640 Speaker 1: we're meticulous. I feel like, yes, no, I burned it 680 00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:38,080 Speaker 1: into barbecue. I was so irritated. It was like you 681 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:39,640 Speaker 1: know when you're down the wrong road. Is good enough, 682 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,160 Speaker 1: it's not good enough, and you can't get out and 683 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 1: you're in a web of it. I did. I burned 684 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 1: into barbecue. But you used a lot of the principles 685 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 1: and things you have written in there. You just needed 686 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:50,560 Speaker 1: to read some structure, right, Yeah, but I just didn't. Yeah. 687 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,240 Speaker 1: It wasn't also the wrong mindset when I wrote it, 688 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,960 Speaker 1: because I was kind of retiring at that time, and 689 00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:59,160 Speaker 1: so I just needed you need to start clean and 690 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,040 Speaker 1: do it again. It's funny because when you're writing a 691 00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:08,160 Speaker 1: book that aspects of your life, I feel that it's 692 00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:09,719 Speaker 1: pouring out of you, like you think you want to 693 00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 1: write it. You're inspired, you have something to say about something. Sometimes. 694 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:13,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I've written like eleven books and I but 695 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,440 Speaker 1: I would not write for years and and something's pouring 696 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:17,840 Speaker 1: out of you. You want to talk about it. And 697 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,160 Speaker 1: then have you ever done a juice fast where your 698 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:21,879 Speaker 1: body tells you when the juice fast is over? Because 699 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:23,680 Speaker 1: either you're using a tongue scraper and then it's clean 700 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:27,200 Speaker 1: or you actually your body gets hungry, like after fasting, 701 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,920 Speaker 1: you don't I'm always hungry. Okay, yeah, I don't know. 702 00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,680 Speaker 1: I am not good at the juice thing. Okay, I do, 703 00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,080 Speaker 1: like I do a protein shape thing, but I work out. 704 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,719 Speaker 1: I work out so hard that if I don't eat, 705 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:41,799 Speaker 1: it makes me sick. So that's always well. I've done 706 00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,759 Speaker 1: juice cleanses and after a couple of days, you're not 707 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:46,839 Speaker 1: hungry anymore, and then once you get hungry again, it's 708 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,720 Speaker 1: time to stop. And I think that like writing, because 709 00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:51,920 Speaker 1: I was writing and it has so much to say. 710 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:53,399 Speaker 1: It was keeping up at night, and then one day 711 00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,120 Speaker 1: it just quiets down and you really, you've said it 712 00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:56,719 Speaker 1: all in that book, so you probably got to that 713 00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:58,319 Speaker 1: point where you just like I said it all. It's all, 714 00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,560 Speaker 1: it's all. I left it on the court, it's all. 715 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,200 Speaker 1: They're I'm excited about it night. I hope everyone enjoys it. 716 00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:05,640 Speaker 1: So we'll have to let me know. Let's read it. Yes, 717 00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:07,600 Speaker 1: I actually want to read it. Um after speaking to 718 00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 1: you particularly, thank you so much. I can't wait to 719 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,280 Speaker 1: snowboard with you or run into you in an elevator. 720 00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:17,240 Speaker 1: So have a wonderful day. Congrats on everything, and um, 721 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,839 Speaker 1: thank you for doing this awesome. Yeah, I appreciate it. 722 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:27,640 Speaker 1: Thank you. Wow. I like speaking to professional athletes. They're driven. 723 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:31,640 Speaker 1: There is a skill set and a journey and a 724 00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:36,840 Speaker 1: path and a trajectory that is different than other successful people. 725 00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,239 Speaker 1: I just I saw myself getting excited at a little 726 00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:41,839 Speaker 1: spring of my step getting on with Lindsay Vaughan. Uh. 727 00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,560 Speaker 1: It's also like Maria Scharapova, where I didn't know that 728 00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:46,600 Speaker 1: much about her. I know who she is, she's in 729 00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,760 Speaker 1: the universe, but I mean learning about these people whose 730 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:53,120 Speaker 1: names I just know of. Um, I just am so grateful. 731 00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:55,640 Speaker 1: I'm so lucky that I get to do this and 732 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:57,719 Speaker 1: that we get to have these conversations. Thank you so 733 00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,400 Speaker 1: much for listening. Remember to rate review and some bribe. 734 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,600 Speaker 1: Her book is called Rise. I actually want to read it. 735 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,000 Speaker 1: And I don't say that about everyone. So what a 736 00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:10,279 Speaker 1: great testament to being driven, being structured to pointing our 737 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:13,239 Speaker 1: kids in the right direction, um, looking at what they're 738 00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:17,080 Speaker 1: interested in in, trying to own that skill. And how 739 00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,280 Speaker 1: you do anything is how you do everything. Really amazing
