Ever wondered if you were dreaming too big? On this week's episode of Hurdle, Emily and Madeline from The Sports Gossip Show say that there's no such thing. The two podcasters talk about the perks of getting delusional, inspired by runner Faith Kipyegon's Breaking4 attempt in Paris, and then home in on the particulars on Madeline's journey: How she began writing and podcasting, when she met her co-host Caroline, and of course all of the fun things to yap about when it comes to sports gossip. Plus: How she turned her passion into a full-time gig, what she's looking forward to next, and how she stopped worrying so much about what other people think.
