Summary
Greg LeMond has revolutionized the sport of cycling. As one of the most iconic cyclists in history, Greg is the sole American to clinch the Tour de France, not just once but three times.
Today, Greg takes us on a journey behind the scenes of his life and career, unveiling his intense rivalries with cycling’s finest and how a near-fatal hunting accident reshaped his purpose both personally and professionally.
And yet, Greg's quest for greatness extends far beyond personal triumph. He is a fierce advocate for the integrity of the sport—a visionary who calls for unyielding anti-doping measures.
My friends, this conversation transcends the sport of cycling. Greg is a true champion that has rewritten the boundaries of what it means to be truly great. If you’re searching for an upstanding model of courage, resilience, integrity, determination, and overcoming all odds, this conversation is for you.
