Steve’s good friend, Tim Caldwell, joins him on a journey from Olympic slopes to rural courtrooms - a living testament to the power of passion, perseverance, and lifelong learning. As a successful lawyer who once competed in the Olympics, Tim's extraordinary story draws a striking parallel between the thrill of sport and the pursuit of legal success.
