Summary
The rugged mountains of Utah, Colorado, and California are usually the homes of the names we see every four years on some of the biggest slopes and stages at the Winter Olympics.
That wasn’t the case for Kaylin. She cut her teeth on a 125 ft. hill in Minnesota, mastering the fundamentals. From those humble beginnings, she advanced her skills enough to represent the U.S. Olympic team twice!
It took living a life without compromise for her to reach the heights she has. Since her “retirement” at 25, she has pursued other interests like being a mom and being featured in eight Warren Miller ski films.
Her story is inspiring and her love for the winter will get you excited for the season!

| 0:02.1 | Like in your life, that's nothing. |
| 0:04.5 | So there'd be this push and pull where you don't want to discredit how hard you've been working. |
| 0:09.0 | And I mentor a couple of young athletes where what I always tell them is I say, |
| 0:12.4 | it matters, but it means nothing. Can you believe it? |
| 0:32.1 | 700 episodes. |
| 0:36.1 | Almost six years of doing interviews with guests from all over the world, listeners |
| 0:42.1 | especially from all over the world, and now we're at 700 episodes. Unreal. And to celebrate, |
| 0:48.3 | we're going to do something a little bit different. This was actually a recent idea from one of |
| 0:52.8 | our listeners who wrote in. Derek, you know |
| 0:55.0 | who you are. He wrote in just to say how much the show meant to him and how much it has helped him |
| 1:00.5 | and his family stay active, try new things, and just continue to get out there and hear perspectives |
| 1:06.4 | from people, from all sorts of abilities and all sorts of walks of life on this show. |
| 1:11.5 | And it gave us the idea, gave Derek the idea to reach out and say, hey, I'd love to hear |
| 1:15.9 | how other people have been inspired by this show. |
| 1:19.1 | So here's what we're going to do. |
| 1:20.5 | If we get enough people to submit a story about how the Adventure Sports podcast has encouraged |
| 1:27.3 | them, challenged them, or made them want to |
| 1:29.5 | change their lifestyle like it has me. And it had the other two hosts that host this. If you don't |
| 1:34.6 | remember, there used to be two other hosts. This show was so impactful on their lives that they |
| 1:39.2 | changed their lifestyle and could no longer host the show. And that's where I came in a few years ago, that's the effect of the adventure sports podcast. |
| 1:46.8 | So if you are out there, the show has affected you, has it helped you through a hard time, helped you through a great time and make it even better. |
