It’s been one year since Tim Koleto, the 2022 Olympic silver-medal-winning figure-skater, announced his retirement from a sport that shaped him for more than 25 years.

During a remarkable career, Tim competed around the world, earning more medals and titles than most people could dream about in a sporting lifetime – and doing it in circumstances that were far from normal!

Two years before retiring, Tim also shared another defining part of his story — coming out publicly as bisexual, helping to increase visibility for LGBTQ+ athletes in winter sports and beyond. Now, he reflects on what authenticity has meant throughout his career, the pressures of elite competition, and navigating life after sport.

In this episode, we talk about:

This is a thoughtful, powerful conversation with one of ice dancing’s most compelling voices — and a must-listen for fans of the Olympics, figure skating and LGBTQ+ stories in sport.

Tom Miazga is, quite simply, a powerhouse.

Tom first made his mark in the pool, representing Team USA at the 2008 Paralympics in Beijing. Over his career as a swimmer, he smashed eight American records, set two Pan-American records, and collected more than a dozen international medals along the way.

But if you thought that was impressive, Tom was just getting started.

Switching to CrossFit took his competitive career to another level. To date, he has been crowned “Fittest Seated on Earth” an incredible nine times, cementing his legacy as one of adaptive sport’s most dominant and inspiring athletes.

Away from competition, Tom is a passionate advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, raising awareness and money through high-profile fundraisers — and with modelling also on his résumé, it’s fair to say he’s a man of many talents.

So we’re thrilled that Tom found time to join us for a powerful, honest and uplifting conversation about:

This is a motivating, energetic and deeply inspiring chat with one of adaptive sport’s most impressive champions — and we think you’re going to love it.

Mitch Brown spent years living the ultimate Aussie footy stereotype — a tough, reliable defender running out nearly 100 times in the AFL for the West Coast Eagles. A Rising Star nominee and a much-loved teammate, Mitch’s career looked every inch the image of the “straight” Australian sportsman.

But behind the scenes, Mitch was carrying a secret: he was bisexual. And in a league where no male player had ever spoken publicly about being part of the LGBTQ+ community, the pressure to keep quiet was immense.

That changed earlier this year, when Mitch Brown made history by coming out publicly — becoming the first male AFL player to do so. His story sparked global headlines, inspired countless others, and became a landmark moment for representation in Australian sport.

In this powerful, honest conversation, Mitch joins us to talk about:

Authentic, thoughtful and deeply inspiring, this is a landmark episode with a trailblazing athlete who changed the face of the AFL forever.
