Chelsea Sodaro broke into the mainstream when she won the Ironman World Championship in 2022, but it's fair to say her accomplishments outside of that race have been just as impressive. She has created space for conversations around mental health in sports, parenting, and so much more. Her approach is best summed up by the mantra she has written on her bike: "YES YES YES". Chelsea continues to inspire by creating a new event called Unlocking Yes, and in this podcast, we dive deep into the details of her inaugural event.

Amie Engerbretson is a big mountain skier, director, producer, and so much more. We dig into the tension between being an athlete and having influence through content and social media. We get tactical and talk through proposals and project building, including the approach that athletes can take to develop and extend their careers - and how this approach is essentially a subsidized education for the athletes who choose to follow this path.
