The saga of Russia, WADA, and the Olympic Games seems to be continuing. I'm sure that I'm not the only one wishing it would all stop. I would think differently if a semblance of a speck of something that inspired the belief that change is coming was present. But I don't see it. Let me tell you why.

This episode features German professional basketball player Niklas Ney, who as of this episode being released, just signed with Tigers Tübingen of the ProA of the German 2. Basketball Bundesliga.

We spoke about the evolution of the sport, how he sees himself fitting into it, and also about his perspective about success and failure in a sport where you both have to rely on yourself and others in order to win

Welcome to the Short Blast Monologues here on the No Fear of Falling Podcast. In this feature, we take an uncensored look into the issues and news of sport, and take a deeper look and see what's there. This is an opinion piece; you may agree, you may not, but the hope is that a discussion will be created, which can lead to further learning, understanding, and maybe if we're lucky...possible answers. And in this first episode, we are tackling WADA (the World Anti-Doping Agency) after the latest news concerning their strategy concerning Russia and the results from the latest audits on the revamping of RUSADA (Russian Anti-Doping Agency). Let us know what you think! Comment, or drop us a message to continue the conversation!

In this episode, we "drive" into the world of Auto Racing, and more specifically Stock Car Racing. It's a sport that puts its athletes at the edge of their limits every time they step behind the wheel and one where that line between success and failure can be razor-thin. But it is also a sport where there is a family dynamic present that many sports could learn a thing or two from, where from the grassroots level to the top, there is a strong valuing of family and the fans. Our guest this week, Matt Perry, epitomizes the journey that many top-level Stock Car drivers have taken. Starting at the lower levels, he is building his way towards the highest levels of the sport, using his desire and determination to push him forwards. But even within the increased attention and exposure, he has gained, he has never forgotten what keeps him passionate about the sport, the people who have helped him get to where he is, and that he wants to create an impact both on and off the track, which keeps him humble and hungry. We sat down and spoke to him about his journey into the sport, experiences, and stories from along the way, the concept of success and failure in the sport, and how no matter what the result on the track may be, that he is always striving to give the fans an experience they will never forget.

This episode takes us into the world of figure skating, and to Slovenia, where we talked with multiple time National Champion Daša Grm. She's been competing on the ISU circuit for a number of years, including multiple appearances at the European and World Championships; and has spearheaded the development and interest in the sport in her country. We spoke about her journey, what she's learned along the way, and about her quest not for results and placings, but for personal growth and to push herself so she will have no regrets. Ta epizoda nas vodi v svet drsanja in v Slovenijo, kjer smo se pogovarjali z večkratnim državnim prvakom Daša Grm.

In this episode, we sat down with Canadian singer and songwriter Charlie PS to talk about her journey in music. We talked about the process of balancing life and music, the challenges of building and creating an EP (she just released her first one, called "Little Miss Dysfunctional" in 2018), and about how keeping true to your beliefs on success and failure keep you grounded and focused on your goals and the path towards them. You can check out "Little Miss Dysfunctional" over on Spotify, iTunes, and most places you listen to music. It's an awesome EP with a fantastic sound that I think you will enjoy.

To become good at something, you can use talent and skill. To become great at something, you need to upgrade these traits. To become amazing, you have to add self-understanding, and the ability to push yourself outside your comfort zone. STEPHEN SCACCIA is an example of this. He's amazingly talented and skilled, shown through his amazing music, and the people who he has shared the stage with (Michael Buble). He's also taken the hard journey of self-understanding and stepping far outside his comfort zone. But through being honest with himself, and continuing to hone his skills for reasons other than mainstream success, he continues to become better and better.

One of the toughest things in the music industry is separating yourself from the crowd; standing out from everyone else, and creating a sound that is distinctly yours and no one else. It is a tough task and one that many people struggle to do, either on purpose to fit in, or they just never figure it out. But one musical duo that has figured it out is Rumour Mill. Anna Katarina and Aline Daigle have created a sound that is distinct, made from years of musical training and coming to the realization that they should create something that they love and which feels authentic and real to them. Their first singles epitomize this, especially their latest one, "Daylight's Free", and we can't wait to see what comes next for them.
