What's up, Motivators? In today's podcast episode, we have a blast from the past.

NTK is here.

Hey, people. I'm back.

And another blast from the past, a curling pal.

You've all been suffering through me talking about my curling background and the greatness

of Taryn the Curler in the history of Canadian sports, but we have an actual

good curler here.

Joanne Courtney is a friend who's just recently retired from the highest level of curling in the

world.

She's an Olympian.

She's a world champion, recently retired and is getting into triathlon.

And somehow we hoodwinked her into being a project athlete for motive. We're training her for her first race,

which will be the PTO Canadian Open and then the ultimate race being the PTO US Open where she'll do the longest distance there.

Yes, she came to join us here for a few days

for a, I guess, a sort of pseudo training camp with you, but really to learn the absolute basics,

because despite the fact that she's literally a top athlete on the planet, this is all brand new

for her. And so it's really actually been quite cool to remember things that you probably

forgot you didn't know back when you got into the sport and that a lot of people who are listening

to the podcast are experiencing right now, like, how do you pack a bike bag and how the heck do you

put a clip in pedal on and all that type of stuff? So fun to experience that with her and we talk a

lot about that. But also going from a top level athlete in the world to taking on this new sport and feeling like she's going to drown is really fascinating.

So we talk a lot about that on the podcast today.
