In the past we interviewed Des Linden when her book "Choosing to Run" and doing so opened up options for future book related interviews!

Gwendolyn Bound's publicist, Brianna Kusilek, reached out to us back in April but it took us a while to find a time to release a potential episode with her.  Luckily we made room this week and Katelyn interviewed her for the show!

Katelyn and Gwendolyn talk about changing perspective on life, growing older, overcoming adversity, golden retrievers, and much more. Gwendolyn's book "Not Too Late" is available for pre-order now or in book stores June 18, 2024. 

If we want more attention given to the sport that we love, then we need to support books written about the sport we love! Check it out here!
