Welcome to the inaugural episode of Freezing Cold Takes, the cold plunge interview show where real conversations happen in uncomfortably cold water ❄️ Hosted at MindFuel Method in Pittsburgh’s Strip District, this series brings guests face-to-face with the cold while sharing the stories that shaped who they are today.

This week’s guest is Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. As Noah tries to brave the cold plunge, he walks us through his career journey, from his early passion for sports journalism to the pivotal moments that helped him land his dream job covering Pittsburgh sports. We talk about perseverance, consistency, betting on yourself, and why embracing discomfort — in life and in the cold — can lead to real growth.
