This week Andrew talks with Olympic gold medalist Nick Baumgartner. In 2022, Nick won Olympic gold at the age of 40 years old — becoming the oldest medalist in Olympic snowboard history. Along the way, Nick worked summer jobs pouring concrete to fund his dream & lived out of an old construction van to reduce his commute time to training. When he didn’t have access to his training facilities due to pandemic travel restrictions, Nick spent 30-hours building a pump track in his yard. Nick’s story is a shining example of what’s possible when we chase ambitious goals & are willing to do whatever it takes to make it happen. He is the author of the new book “Gold From Iron: A Humble Beginning, Olympic Dreams, and the Power in Getting Back Up.” In this conversation, you’ll hear Nick’s blueprint for taking action on ambitious goals, overcoming setbacks, defying the odds, & so much more.
