TPM Episode 330: Wiley Miller, Pro Skier, Commercial Pilot

wileymiller 's ski career trajectory is so different from most people on the podcast. There was no competing early and often for Wiley. He earned his spot in ski movies by showing up at a film shoot. Then, Wiley was nominated for and won big awards early on, and parlayed that into a 20-year career of ski movies. While I wish it were all roses in this one, Wiley shares about his Mom's battle against ALS, the ups and downs of sponsorship, owning brands, and more…And these days, while Wiley is still shredding on a pro level, he's also a commercial pilot, and we get a great Nipsey Hustle story out of him during Inappropriate Questions.
