A TikTok deal in the US was just approved, so this TikTok superstar can keep giving us the content we oh so want! Joining us this week is USA's Amber Glenn! We talk about skating in Dallas, TX, skating with the Cains and her dear friend Ashley Cain, Tik Tok stardom, being comfortable in your own skin and her own coming out. We reversed the flow of this episode, so we can jump right into it! Enjoy!

If you don't know who Elladj is, just give a quick search and you will see he's one of the greatest showmen of his time. Always a performer, Elladj takes us through his upbringing, what it was like to grow up like a figure skater, black influence in the sport, his tough go with concussions and how the journey itself is 1,000 times more important than the end result. Grab some popcorn, this one is quite the journey!

On our first ever episode of Beyond The Rink, we are joined by Mitch Islam, Canadian Olympic Ice Dancer. We talk about his upbringing, getting coached by his parents and the meteoric rise to the top. Mitch discusses his Olympic experience and the trials and tribulations of having to always be at your best. Mitch has since retired and is now back coaching at his home club in Barrie and sheds some advice for the next generation. When he's not traveling or on the ice, Mitch is a co-host of the BTR podcast.
