In this episode of INTERSECTIONS, Nastia Liukin and Noora Bass meet- up in the bustling city of Dallas, Texas, at the historic Adolphus Hotel to catch up on life, share pivotal moments, drive dream cars, and discuss how their definition of success has evolved over their many careers. Despite different backgrounds, their shared experiences and values provide the foundation for a provoking conversation about overcoming adversity in pursuit of the other side of fear.
The vehicles featured in this episode are two iconic luxury SUVs - the Mercedes-Benz G 550 (G-Wagon) driven by Nastia Liukin & the performance-focused Aston Martin DBX by Noora Bass - courtesy of Avondale Dealerships.

And, she founded one of the most anticipated events in gymnastics, The Nastia Liukin Cup. Tapping into the loyal fan base she has cultivated over the last thirteen years, Nastia launched her influencer business, which has led to collaborations with world-leading brands and retailers. As a five-time Olympic Medalist, Nastia has dedicated her life to setting dream-worthy goals and working tirelessly to achieve them. She hopes to use her platforms to inspire and empower the next generation and her local community to do the same.
