#240: Leia Schultz on Being a Spy, The Fun in CrossFit, and Have We Been to the Moon?

On Episode 240 I sit down with Leia Schultz. Leia is a friend of mine from CrossFit Roots and someone who I find fascinating and interesting to talk to.

Leia grew up in Boulder and returned to her hometown after getting her undergrad degrees in public relations and philosophy at Hofstra in New York. She now works as a product manager for a real estate technology company.

Leia’s first love and main sport was soccer. She started to play as a kid, continuing through college and in Boulder’s co-ed rec leagues before hanging up the cleats; her ankles and knees thank her. She joined CrossFit Roots after the first wave of the Covid pandemic to kick her ass back into shape. Fast forward two-and-a-half years, and she’s a regular 5 pm-er who was a 2022 CrossFit Roots Intramural Open captain and has met some of her closest friends at the gym.

Outside of CrossFit, Leia enjoys skiing sans poles, trying new hot sauces and coffee (not mixed), reading fantasy/sci-fi and visiting breweries (often mixed), and an occasional LARP with friends who aren’t afraid to play with swords in public. She is currently working on handstand walks, upping her Mario Kart skills, and taking travel recommendations as she’s got a serious itch to go on an adventure soon.

Thank you all for listening and I hope that you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!
