Summary

Tommy Moe is an absolute legend. This longtime US Ski Teamer is the only Olympic Downhill gold medalist I’ve had on the podcast. While Part 1 took us through what it took for Tommy to make the US Ski Team and ended with frustration in Albertville, Part 2 is all about the glory. We talk about Olympic Gold and Silver, winning a World Cup, Johnny Moseley, Shane McConkey, the Tordrillo Mountains, and more. It’s another amazing conversation, and another one of Tommy's US Ski Team teammates, Chad Fleischer, asks the Inappropriate Questions

0:00.0	Have a seat on your porcelain throne.
0:02.3	It's time to talk some shit on the Powell Movement.
0:13.5	Welcome to the Powell Movement.
0:16.8	I'm your host Mike Powell,
0:18.4	and I'm recording this on a big day that could have a huge outcome on my future.
0:23.1	And no, I'm not talking about the election. That already happened.
0:26.9	I'm talking about my wife and I heading into the doctor to find out results of Ange's first pet scan in a year.
0:33.2	This will tell us if the chemo is working, what the cancer is doing, and so much more.
0:38.4	So while the election was a big deal and it was nerve-wracking, this is so much more important
0:43.3	to me and my family. My wife has been through so much in the past two years, and her life,
0:48.8	while she makes things look okay on Instagram? Her life is really challenging a lot of the
0:53.2	time. I will say, one thing I'm sure
0:55.7	she's stoked on is my new job at diecut stickers.com. And that's not because I get free stickers. It's
1:01.9	because I'm out of the house and out of her hair for two full days a week. While we love each other,
1:07.1	we still deal with all the bullshit a married couple with a teenager goes through.
1:11.4	So I'm sure it's a nice break for her to have me away. For me, I'm learning how to juggle two
1:16.5	jobs. The sticker game, which is so much more than stickers, is rad because I get to work with so
1:22.4	many old friends at so many different brands, but it's not all about brands. If you're an athlete, you need a custom sticker to use as a business card.
1:31.0	They're cheap, and if you consistently give them out,
1:33.8	your personal brand will grow at 10 times of the pace as an athlete on the same level
1:38.0	who doesn't market themselves in real time.
