170. Aditi Shah, Peloton Instructor Aug 02, 2021

Show notes

Welcome Aditi Shah to the Hurdle fam! Today, she teaches yoga and meditation to millions of people via the Peloton platform. Despite learning about both practices from a young age, it wasn't until college in New Jersey that she truly immersed herself in one of her own. For episode 170, she talks to me about moving back to India after graduation, and followed by a stint in Mumbai, and then coming to New York where she ultimately made the permanent move — on a whim. She gives advice for anyone else who wants to move to a big city — or adopt a meditation practice. She also tells me about the DM from her now-colleague Denis Morton that changed everything, and what it’s been like teaching during the pandemic. Plus: Some insight on how her parents and family are doing in India, and a few of her favorite meditations to date so that you can go seek them out in the Peloton app.

169. Sgt. Samantha Schultz, Modern Pentathlete Jul 26, 2021

Show notes

A few weeks back I spent time in Colorado getting to know Sgt. Samantha Schultz, better known to her friends and family as Sammy. Sammy’s heading to Tokyo this week to compete in the modern pentathlon (!!) which comprises five different events: fencing, freestyle swimming, equestrian show jumping, and a final combined event with pistol shooting and cross country running. As someone whose had the privilege of interviewing a slew of athletes in her day, I have to say that Sammy’s unlike anyone I’ve spoken with before. Sure, she’s got the tenacity and diligence of many she’ll compete alongside. But — she’s also a Soldier in the Army.

For episode 169, Sammy is telling me all about the Army’s World Class Athlete program and what it's like to be a Soldier-athlete. She also shares how she got into this unique sport, what her weakest skill is, how she manages the opportunity cost of training, and what her hopes and dreams are for the future. TBH; she's opened my eyes to a world I knew nothing about. Proud to be part of your support squad as she gears up to compete on August 5 and 6! Of note: This episode is a paid partnership with the Army.

168. Carli Lloyd, Pro Soccer Player Jul 19, 2021

Show notes

Today is a seriously cool moment as I am sitting down to talk with women’s soccer icon Carli Lloyd. I played soccer growing up, so I’ve admired Carli as an athlete for so long. I get the chills remembering all the times I watched her and the USWNT in awe. For episode 168, we talk about everything from how she deals with unsolicited feedback and the haters to the way she’s managed her recovery from a tough knee injury a few years back. She also offers advice on the importance of self belief, gives us some insight into her mostly organic diet — we were actually connected by her sponsor at Gone Rogue Protein Snacks — AND can’t forget her stellar book and podcast recommendations.
