Back for her third appearance and straight off of a hair crisis (iykyk) is my good friend, Emily Cole!

For those who aren't familiar with Emily, she is an accomplished runner who competes for Duke University. She is also an author and positive light on social media, impacting millions of lives every single month. Behind all the accolades, is a genuinely amazing human being who I always thoroughly talking with and learning from her.

Emily is one of the top runners in the NCAA, consistently pushing forward the sport through her performances on the track. Just this past season, Emily played a key role in Duke's NCAA Championship DMR squad leading off on the 1200m leg. A few weeks prior, Emily ran a PR of 4:42.81 in the Mile in the 2023 ACC Indoor Track & Field Championships Mile prelims. The very next day, in the finals, she ran 4:43.54, closing in a 2:13 last 800m! Emily's true passion lies in jumping over hurdles in the water in an event called the steeplechase. Emily won Silver in this event at the 2022 ACC Outdoor Championships, qualified for the NCAA championships, became an NCAA Second-Team All-American, AND made the freaking US National Championships with her qualifying time of 9:48.20!

Emily will look to further cement her legacy in the NCAA in her final seasons. While I may be biased knowing Emily, she is one to watch out for. Whether she has a baton in her hand or is jumping over a water pit, she is probably making history in the process.

This conversation today was ride-ranging and impactful. I picked Emily's mind on confidence, gratitude, burnout, reflection, and much more. If you're looking for inspiration and insights on how to cultivate a positive mindset, fall in love with, enjoy the journey, and more, then you won't want to miss this conversation with Emily.

With her impressive achievements in running, social media, and writing, as well as her infectious positivity and genuine personality, Emily is sure to leave you feeling uplifted and motivated to take on whatever challenges come your way. Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity to learn from one of the most inspiring voices on social media today!
