Tanner Wallace graduated from Texas Christian University in 2018 after playing soccer for the Horned Frogs for 4 years. Tanner now lives a nomadic life, with her home base in Bali. Tanner and I grew up playing soccer together in Jacksonville, FL before we went our separate ways in college. Tanner shares her story, and how she ended up where she is today.

Tan is a traveling aficionado, photographer, and creates bad ass videos of her travels. She also puts together unique travel plans for people (if you’re going somewhere, and want an itinerary, hit her up). Tanner created an instagram page solely dedicated to her travel (that makes me extremely jealous on the regular) where she posts photos and videos of all the places she goes and the must see spots.

Forever grateful for the people who are willing to share their experiences. Thank you tanner ✨❣️

Hunter also has a podcast called ‘More Than Alive’ and it can be found on all streaming platforms.

Rachel Elery joins us this week to discuss life before, during, and after her competitive CrossFit career. Rachel is that person you can spend hours talking with, and it feels like you just sat down. The conversation goes every which way, which is my favorite type of conversation to have. Our identities and experiences are so intertwined. Can we really talk about our athletic endeavors without talking about who we believe we are? I don't think so. The things we have done and seen and experienced, shapes how we identify. No matter how significant that "athlete" piece of you is, it is still integral to who you are and who you are becoming.

Joe Kincart is an Air Force graduate, and is now serving as a pilot in the US Air Force. Joe was a pitcher on the baseball team during his time at the Air Force Academy. I found his experience unique because although he is done playing baseball, he is still within the confines and structure of the US Air Force. This is also the first episode where we had a live audience and received questions from said audience! Joe drops little nuggets of wisdom about life, sport, and leadership, to name a few.

Richard is a Colorado native who played football at CU Boulder. Now, he is working as a scholar relations officer, to provide grants and scholarships to people. We discussed our athletic experiences (Rich put me in the hot seat and asked me questions as well), our careers, how I got into creating a podcast, and where we are both at now. Rich’s dog, Sue, joins us as a guest during our conversation. We compare team dynamics and the differences between different team sizes. We share what we both wish we knew before leaving athletics. And anything and everything in between. This was one of the longest episodes I've recorded, and I enjoyed every second of it.

Cory Camp joins us this week to share his experience as a collegiate swimmer. Cory founded a company called ‘Forever Athlete’, a platform that connects athletes to help provide peer to peer support. Cory is a published author, fellow podcaster, and extremely knowledgeable. He gave us a glimpse into what his experience was during and after swimming.
