281. Turning the Page: World Champion Shot Putter Chase Ealey Talks Olympic Dreams & Overcoming Hurdles In Sport Jan 03, 2024

Show notes

Oh MAN this was fun. Loved the chance to sit back down with Chase Ealey for the third day of our Turning the Page series. We talk about the difficulties that go with "failure," both in and out of sport, and how she's feeling going into this Olympic year. She also shares how she wants to interact with fans and followers in 2024, hoping that they can see her for more than just a World Champion shot put athlete. We also toast to our themes of the year, and Chase gives me a hilarious lesson in millennial terminology because I've clearly been living under a rock.
