Adam Cianciarulo grew up carrying immense expectations as one of the most talented amateur riders the sport has ever seen. From a young age, his identity became deeply tied to performance, results, and the pressure to be great. In this conversation, Adam opens up about the injuries, setbacks, and loss of identity that shaped his professional career—and how having everything stripped away ultimately led him to a deeper understanding of self-worth, acceptance, and inner peace. This episode is about far more than racing; it’s about learning who you are when the labels fall away, and how to move forward with clarity into the next chapter of life.
