Listen Later

800m stars and good friends Raevyn Rogers and Ajee' Wilson are our special guests (separate interviews). Raevyn joins us at the start to talk about her stellar 2021 season which left her with the Olympics bronze medal and #4 fastest time by an American. After the Olympics Raevyn was honored at the Houston Texans game, her high school, and she had 25th birthday bash where one of those in attendance was Ajee' Wilson.

Ajee' was the standard bearer at 800 in the US for the latter half of the last decade winning 2 World Championships medals and setting the now broken American record. She joins the pod @ 45:44 (show notes below).
