Today I’m chatting with Olympic Gold Medalist Shawn Johnson East. Shawn and her husband Andrew are co-creators of their Youtube channel, which has over 405 million views, and their podcast, Couple Things, which has climbed to #2 on the overall charts.
We’re discussing everything from the Olympics, motherhood, marriage, podcasting, content creation and more. Shawn is someone I admire so much and I can’t wait for you to be inspired by her story, especially as it goes beyond gymnastics.
WE DISCUSS:
- ( 3:02 ): Amber asks, “What was it like for you at the beginning, from your interest in the sport [gymnastics] to really growing into a high level competitor?”
- ( 10:39 ): Amber asks, “What was the transition like for you when retiring from gymnastics?”
- ( 18:16 ): Amber asks Shawn how she and her husband plan out their content and how social media trends influence the content they create.
- ( 20:30 ): Amber asks, “What is the business of podcasting for you guys?”
- ( 26:49 ): Amber asks, “What kind of criteria would you say is most important to you when you're working with a brand?”
- ( 37:53 ): Amber asks, “So the Olympics are coming up, and I'm so excited I saw that you are going to be a moderator or host. Tell us a little bit about that.”
