In just about a month, on the 26th of July, 10 thousand athletes from all over the world will gather in Paris for the opening ceremony of the 2024 Summer Olympics.  Being an Olympian has a way of consuming a person's image. Olympians dedicate their body and their mind to the perfect backstroke, or the perfect arrow release, or this year – even the perfect breakdancing routine.  So when an Olympic athlete hangs up the towel… who are they? How do you leave behind the biggest S Curve of your life? Although he's better known for the Winter Olympics, Apolo Ohno has some ideas. The most decorated American in the Olympics' chillier half, Apolo is known the world over for his gold-medal talent at speed skating. I wanted to bring back my conversation with Apolo, in light of the Olympic Games on our doorstep, but also as a reminder this summer that although we should honor our past, we are never tied to it when it comes to trailblazing our future. What did retirement look like – what did slowing down look like – for the man who built his career around being the fastest athlete on the ice?  

A champion on the ice and on the hardwood! Eight-time Olympic medalist and Mirrorball Trophy Winner Apolo Ohno catches up with Cheryl, discussing everything from growing up with a 'Tiger Dad' to his new outlook on life, the importance of recognizing your inner power, and, of course, dishing about his time on DWTS! Apolo shares his experiences from his first show-winning appearance to the difficulties he encountered on the all-star show, the different teaching styles of Julianne Hough and Karina Smirnoff, his toughest competition, and how the show changed his life. It's a cool chat you won't want to missSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In today's episode, I'm joined by Apolo Ohno, the most decorated American in Winter Olympic history and an author who has transitioned from the ice to inspiring others in life and business. Apolo shares insights from his journey, focusing on harnessing inner power and embracing change. He discusses themes from his book "Hard Pivot," examining how the mental game shapes our reality and personal growth. Apolo talks about overcoming past identities and fears, highlighting the transformative power of self-dialogue and intentional living. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Apolo Ohno (@ApoloOhno) is a retired American short-track speed skater, an eight-time Olympic medalist, the most decorated American Winter Olympian of all time, and the author of Hard Pivot: Embrace Change. Find Purpose. Show Up Fully. What We Discuss with Apolo Ohno: How Apolo's single dad helped him constructively channel his genetic proclivities toward athleticism and abundance of energy — and overcome his physical shortcomings — from an early age. What drove Apolo's tendency to self-sabotage even as he was becoming the most decorated American Winter Olympian of all time (and what we can do to moderate this mindset in ourselves). The perils of overtraining — and what Apolo would do differently today if he were still competing as an athlete that would serve him better. Understanding the difference between entertaining superstitions and creating reliable routines and habits upon which you can rely when seeking success. The highly transferable lesson Apolo learned when a fluke accident robbed him of a gold medal — and what we can all take away from the disappointment of only landing a silver medal when life doesn't go according to plan.

People often want to make a change in their careers but few do until they're forced to shake things up. Often, fear is one of the main obstacles that hold people back from making a transition. Fortunately, more and more people are finding the courage to change careers thanks to some self reflection during the pandemic. LinkedIn Editor Andrew Seaman has talked to several experts about how people can change careers during that time. This episode – a favorite from the GH archives – brings together the advice of three all-star Get Hired guests: former Olympic speed skater Apolo Ohno; career coach Christopher Taylor, aka “The Occupation Optimist; and coach Austin Belcak, the founder of Cultivated Culture. Overcome the Fear of Changing Careers The first step when you're trying to make a hard pivot, says Apolo Ohno, is to overcome the fear of change. “No one wants to climb the mountain, go back down to the bottom and then go back up again,” he shared, but sometimes it's important to start with a beginner's mindset. You can't operate in a state of “FOPO,” or “fear of other people's opinions.” Your Skills are Still Valuable Next, remember that even though you might be jumping from one industry to another, the experience you've gained is still valuable. Chris Taylor, who focuses on skills-based hiring in his coaching, says that “if you have six out of ten” of the requirements listed on the job description, you are likely more than qualified and should apply. You can also look at the company on LinkedIn to see the profiles of people who hold similar roles, and see what skills they have. You can then focus on building those skills, using your network or free platforms like YouTube and LinkedIn Learning. Don't Wait for Others to Give You Experience Finally, Austin Belcak offers a way to get started: just do it! Start by offering your newer skills for free or low rates to local businesses. As a freelancer, you can build up a portfolio and make sure that this new field is for you. You can also start to publish articles in order to build your own education. As Belcak says, “If you made it a goal to create one post about your target industry for the next 60 days on LinkedIn, not only are you going to educate yourself in this new space, but you're also creating this breadcrumb trail of evidence of you actually learning everything.” If you've been inspired by our guests' advice on making a pivot to a new industry or career, leave us a review wherever you get your podcasts.

I've gotten to chat with Brrrn co-founders Johnny Adamic and Jimmy Martin a few times since meeting them in 2018. I'd like to remind you that 2018 was a time before the proliferation of zoom, so our first interview was conducted via freeconferencecall.com. I remember vividly chatting with the pair in 2018. They were equal parts entertaining and excited about a super-specific niche in fitness (cold temperature training). I have a memory of the thought, “it's a shame that I'm the only one listening to this recording” as I wrote the article for aSweatLife.com.Call this take two. I genuinely like these guys. I looked forward to this interview for the past couple of days because I knew it would be a really good time. And I really like every person who comes onto the podcast, but some people make me nervous in a way that Jimmy and Johnny do not. They're a mix of charming, smart and funny that you know endears people to them. And I think that is the essence of the brand they've created. Charming, welcoming and smart. You'll hear them talk about it on the episode, but they're an insanely perfect match for where the world went after they opened their studio in the heart of New York City. Jimmy worked with SNL and studied at the Upright Citizens Brigade - or UCB as it's called in the biz - and cut his teeth on production before the world shut down. He also has that improv-er ability to problem solve through the “yes, and.” They both have it, actually, you'll hear Johnny say, “To yes, and that, Jimmy …”And Johnny studied public health in New York City and worked for Mayor Bloomberg. He can and will throw science at you in an approachable way. So together, they chose to create cold training spaces when the rest of the world was only counting workouts that got them as hot and sweaty as humanly possible. And it was there that they fell in love with training on a slide board and there that they started manifesting their future partner and investor, Apolo Ohno.So when the pandemic hit, I don't want to undervalue the stress they went through, but they accepted it, and built on what was in front of them. They “yes, and” ed the pandemic and build an ecommerce business after finding a US-based partner to manufacture an at-home version of the slide board. And there's a lot to love about Brrrn besides the guys who created it, including their growing list of studios and gyms where you can find their programming as well as certifications for trainers to get Continuing education Credits. We hardly even scratched the surface.Resources:Learn more about training at home with BrrrnSee the Brrrn Board in action (youTube video)Follow @brrrn on InstagramFollow @JohnnyAdamic on InstagramFollow @JimmyTMartin (the quadfather) on InstagramThe first time Jimmy and Johhny were on aSweatLifeA brief introduction to Lateral training by Shape.comThe Study on Cold plunges they reference by Huberman Find the Brrrn Bundle on our Move Holiday Gift GuideJust for fun: The movie we talk about - Nobody, starring Bob OdenkirkJust for fun: the actress I adoringly talk about, D'Arcy Carden

Welcome back to No Res... After Dark. (We ask you to take a sip of your drink every time we say "After Dark" and refill when you hear the Episode Title.) You can't rush perfection, and this podcast took two weeks to drop because we've got our good buddy Aaron who is just as fast a talker as we are and like Bond, takes his Vesper shaken, not stirred. Be warned, this was a late night recording for a late night crowd, so buckle into your Vespa's and get ready for a wild ride through Vampire Cocks, Yeast Clouds, Olympians, Mistresses, High School Musical, and much much more. It's the only podcast endorsed by Apolo Ohno, but if you're anything like Lea Michele, just hit play because this written episode description did nothing for you. Cheers!.

Reinvention is at the core of Apolo Anton Ohno. He acquired and honed this skill over a decade of Olympic speed skating competition, during which he became the most decorated US Winter Olympian of all time. Apolo harnesses these experiences to educate and inspire organizations on how to foster a sustained leadership mindset needed to overcome obstacles. We discussed this along with his new book, Hard Pivot, this week on the On Brand podcast. About Apolo Ohno Apolo Anton Ohno claimed his first major speed skating title at the US Championships at the age of 14—after just six months of training. Over the next decade and a half, he went from kid prodigy to the most decorated US Winter Olympian in history—a title he still holds—earning eight Olympic medals in short-track speed skating across the 2002, 2006, and 2010 Winter Games. Following the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games, Apolo took his understanding of sports psychology and his personal experience with success and setbacks to develop a resilient and mission-driven approach to life. He wrote a book on this subject, Zero Regrets, which was released in 2011 and went on to become a New York Times best-seller. Apolo remains involved in the Olympic movement. He was an NBC sports analyst for the Sochi 2014 and PyeongChang 2018 Winter Games and is a global ambassador for the Special Olympics and the Winter Olympics. He is currently on the bid committees for the Winter Games in Salt Lake City, Utah, and the 2028 Summer Games in Los Angeles, California. He has also continued to push himself in the world of sport, winning season 4 of ABC's hit reality show Dancing with the Stars and finishing the 2014 Ironman World Championship Triathlon in Kona, Hawaii, finishing in less than ten hours. Apolo has spent much of the past decade traveling the world and translating his successes and life lessons to business. The bulk of this time in Asia was spent immersed in the exploration of various business sectors ranging from rare earth mining and development to infrastructure and software. He also completed the eight-week Executive Education Curriculum at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, alongside executive-track businesspeople from some of the world's top companies. Through his speaking engagements with hundreds of organizations—from Fortune 100 companies to nonprofits—Apolo has helped business leaders think about what it takes to develop a high-performance mindset and remains relevant in a world in which uncertainty is the norm. He has contemplated how individuals—be they executives or those on the front line—find motivation and consistently do their best work. He is passionate about helping others not only achieve but exceed what they believe to be possible in both life and in business. Apolo's most recent work has centered on the concept of reinvention—an undertaking in which he has demonstrated mastery. His life has been defined not just by performing at the highest possible level in various arenas, but also by his regular pursuit of new goals and tackling new challenges, all while maintaining his iconic positive attitude and unmatched energy. Apolo continues to bring these attributes to every new endeavor and every business engagement. What brand has made Apolo smile recently? Apolo pointed to the publisher of Hard Pivot, Sounds True, for their focus on uplifting the world.

And it's much easier to turn their face and look towards something else.” [20:26]“You're going to fail and it's going to suck and it's going to hurt and there's going to be pain. And you can metabolize that pain, or that pain can blanket you and keep you submerged. That choice is yours.” [29:53]“I realized, probably about two years into my retirement, that I could get off the treadmill. I was actually in control.

Devin: Apolo, what is your superpower?Apolo: I would say my superpower still relies on a foundational component of hard work. While that's a broad term, I think that we can talk about resilience and passion and hunger and grit and all those things that I think that we typically associate with maybe the Olympics or athletes and things that you have to do that are really challenging and hard. But what I have found, Devin, is that throughout my career, both during the Olympic space and also when I decided to retire and reinvent that the one foundational piece that I could always rely upon was hard work. And that was something that I don't think that I inherently had as a young child. My father had kind of instilled some of these principles associated with that broad term hard work when I was a child. But it wasn't until I really started to feel and see the type of long-term, consistent marginal increases in performance day over day that I would then have to compound over long durations of time where I would find that to be my superpower.And the reason why I say that is because I was not genetically gifted more than perhaps the top 10 or 15 or even 20 of the world's greatest speed skaters and winter athletes. So, I had to find other areas and mechanisms on which I could lean. There were many times where I looked at the competition and thought, they're better than me, they're faster than I am. They're stronger than I am. They're better genetically designed for this sport, inherently, just naturally more talented. So how do I compete with that? And I had to find areas where I found that maybe they weren't willing to go through. And so, you know, the saying goes, it may take me longer than the average bear, but I think the strength in that is, well, I can't always control the outcome. I am willing to throw myself headfirst into something. Maybe if it's not my greatest strength or my first natural inclination to be performing well at a particular task or sport or career, I think being able to face that fear and go through what they call the gauntlet is a superpower.And I think we have seen this time and time again of those that we would optically view as being successful. And I think it comes down to that fundamental principle, right. You can plan--you can create these amazing kinds of vision boards, but there's no replacement for the day-to-day grind and consistency. And while others may do things faster or more effectively than you, over the long term and duration, if you stay consistent in those principles, I believe that that's where your real edge is going to come from. That's what I've found with me, is I believe in hyper immersion. I believe in super hard work. And while we cannot always control the outcomes, it's about how we perceive these challenges or so-called failures and then recalibrate them to figure out this is a challenge. This was a learning experience for me. I'm going to take this and grow from it. I'm going to take this and expand from this particular experience in my life. So everyone contains this ability inside of them. That's the beautiful part; hard work is there for anyone to really understand and realize. And with the access to information that we have today, there are no more boundaries. There are no limitations. It's up to you as the sole driver of your life ship to figure out which direction you'd like to steer this thing.Apolo Ohno is America’s most decorated Winter Olympic Athlete of all time. He competed three times in the Winter Olympics (2002, 2006 and 2010) as a short-track speedskater winning eight medals.Many people believe they work hard. It’s cliche. But Apolo is the expert. No one is more qualified to model and teach you hard work.Today, he leverages his skills and experience in many ways, including as a television commentator for the Olympics. He is a New York Times bestselling author, a business leader and philanthropist. He deploys his superpower to improve his performance in all these areas.Apolo deployed hard work at a fresh, new level for his third Olympic Games. The sport of speedskating was evolving, with the top athletes physically different from his first Games. They were becoming “skeletal” above the waist with all their muscle in their lower bodies. Many were drawn to the sport because they had been born with this body type. Apolo had to rebuild his body. He lost weight and gained strength, keeping him at the pinnacle of competition. He won three medals at those 2010 Games, becoming the most decorated Winter Olympian in U.S. history.Today, Apolo deploys all his energy to accomplish a single objective. “My main fundamental goal at the end of the day is to help others succeed.” Helping you learn to model hard work is one way he does that.Building your capacity for hard work will help you make this a superpower, one that will enhance all your other strengths as well.How to Develop Hard Work as a SuperpowerApolo had to learn hard work in much the same way you have. He trained for his first Olympic Games in 2002 as a teenager, providing him an opportunity to learn a skill that would serve him for the rest of his life, not just in speedskating.Apolo shared some specific, actionable ideas to help you learn how to make hard work a superpower.1.       Prioritize process over prize. Apolo learned early on that at some point, you have to shoot the arrow. Once released, it will go where it will. You no longer have control over it. On the other hand, the process of preparation helps you become something better. By focusing on the process of becoming rather than on the prize, you will get the full benefit even if the arrow doesn’t hit the bullseye.2.       Deploy your introspection. Effort made in the wrong direction is wasted. As you do the hard work of changing the world for good, remember to ponder what you’re doing and why. Periodically, take the time to ensure that your actions align with your fundamental values and guiding principles. Make sure your passion and purpose guide your effort. Apolo would remind you that you can’t work hard all the time and get a benefit. Periods of rest and planning are required for the hard work to yield the desired results.3.       Embrace the challenge. Doing things that matter, especially those few people do—like competing in the Olympics or curing cancer—is difficult. There will be challenges, problems and setbacks. Coping with those issues will make you stronger and more capable. Embrace the challenges as a central part of your effort.As a bonus, Apolo notes that incorporating play into your work makes it more enjoyable and sustainable. Put another way, having fun will help you do more reps. The more you do, the better you’ll become.When other people brag about their hard work, compare their experience to Apolo’s. He may be uniquely qualified to teach you how to do it. Implement his three lessons into your life, and you can make hard work your superpower.

After months of encouraging employees to get the Covid-19 vaccine, companies like Google, Facebook and Netflix are starting to take a harder line and roll out mandates. President Joe Biden said “we still have a lot of people not vaccinated” and “the pandemic we have now is a pandemic of the unvaccinated.” CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta tells Anderson Cooper the reason cases are going up is because unvaccinated people are spreading the virus to other unvaccinated people. Plus, Simone Biles dropped out of the women’s gymnastics individual all-around competition to focus on her well-being. Apolo Ohno won eight Olympic medals in short track speed skating. He joins AC360 to discuss the pressure that comes with being an Olympic athlete and says we should support athletes when they “need it most.” Airdate: July 28, 2021 Guests: Dr. Sanjay Gupta Apolo OhnoTo learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

Apolo Anton Ohno is the most decorated winter Olympian in U.S. history. Appearing in three Olympics from 2002-2010, he medaled eight times across four events, including golds in the 1500m and 500m speed skating events. In 2007, Ohno experienced competitive success off the ice too, winning the reality TV show Dancing with the Stars. He was inducted into the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame in 2019. Today, Ohno finds himself as locked in as ever. Driven by curiosity and hard work, he has explored various endeavors since retiring from speed skating. He's developed a supplements company, been a TV game show host and Olympics analyst, and continued his work as a philanthropist and motivational speaker. Ohno is currently focused on writing his latest book, Hard Pivot, which he plans to release later this year.
