In today's episode, Ryan speaks to Myriam Glez, a former French-Australian Olympic synchronized swimmer and the founder and CEO of Athletes Soul. After representing the French national team at the Sydney Olympics, she retired to attend Business School, then went into the corporate world and eventually resumed her sporting career. 


Following her second retirement, Myriam founded Athletes Soul, a non-profit organization that supports athletes that are transitioning out of sports. Her goal is to raise awareness about the challenges of athletic retirement by helping them take advantage of a community of former athletes.


Tune in to learn more about:

  • How Myriam switched focus between her Olympics career, academic, and the corporate world 
  •  Myriam's first retirement from a synchronized swimmer to attend business school
