What happens after you win five gold medals in the Olympics?
In this episode, 5 time Olympic Gold Medalist swimmer and entrepreneur, Nathan Adrian, opens up about the pressure of elite performance, the shock of a cancer diagnosis, and what it’s like to rebuild identity after sport.
He’s an Olympic icon, but also a husband, father, and now co-founder of a company that helps young athletes learn to love swimming. This isn’t just about performance — it’s about purpose, transition, and what it means to evolve.
Whether you’re chasing big goals, recovering from a setback, or trying to figure out what comes next — this episode hits home.
What You'll Learn in This Episode- How Nathan trained for Olympic success (and mental longevity)
- What .01 seconds taught him about belief and pressure
- Why missing the 2008 team became his breakthrough
- How cancer changed his priorities and sense of identity
- The mindset shifts required to move beyond the Olympics and elite sport
