This week on THE SKINNY CONFIDENTIAL HIM & HER PODCAST…
( 0:55 ): Welcome back to TSC HIM & HER Show. #669: Today, we’re sitting down with the most decorated female track and field athlete in Olympic history, Allyson Felix. Allyson joins us for a conversation about the Olympic mindset, how to take charge of your own motivation, and how to avoid letting brands take advantage of you. She dives into her experience of starting a family while being sponsored by Nike, which led to her creating her famous sneaker brand, Saysh. She also discusses overcoming fear, the arrival fallacy, and how to determine which sacrifices are worth making when striving to be the best in your game.
