Whether as a pro mountain biker at the world's biggest ultra endurance races, or as an entrepreneur, Sonya Looney turns ideas into actions and has stacked the deck in her corner for maintaining a growth mindset. Navigating life as a pro athlete, and now a pregnant athlete, is certainly not for the faint-of-heart. There is no playbook and putting yourself out there and sharing the journey takes vulnerability and courage, two things Sonya has a lot of. She is an engineer by trade who's journey to becoming a pro athlete started by simply showing up to a ride with friends. That phrase -- Showing Up -- is her common thread.
