An Olympian’s Guide to Chasing Dreams and Befriending Pain

An Olympian’s Guide to Chasing Dreams and Befriending Pain

The Olympics are on! Have you been watching? We have. We can’t get enough. Which is why all this week we’ll be bringing you episodes that celebrate the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. We’ll be joined by athletes and experts who’ll share hard-won wisdom that we can apply in our ordinary, non-Olympic lives. Up first: Alexi Pappas. She ran the 10,000m at the 2016 games. She’s also a filmmaker and an award-winning writer whose work has appeared in The New York Times, Sports Illustrated, and The Atlantic. Today, she shares a few key insights from her memoir, “Bravey: Chasing Dreams, Befriending Pain, and Other Big Ideas.” 📩 Check out our daily Substack and our weekly LinkedIn newsletter
