In this episode, Katie and Elizabeth Beisel sit down with 4x Olympian, 6x Olympic gold medalist, current world record holder, and American swimming icon Ryan Lochte! They dive into the mindset shifts that helped him rise again after hitting rock bottom, how asking for help became a turning point, and the moment he realized swimming no longer defined who he was. Ryan opens up about the emotional toll of 2016, the comeback attempt in 2021, and why his greatest role isn’t in the pool, it’s being a dad.
