Summary

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Nina Sossamon-Pogue.

She is a sought-after speaker, two-time best-selling author, and podcast host. Hers is an extraordinary journey through Elite Athletics, Television News and Corporate America defy the ordinary.

Leaving home at age 13 to train, Nina made the USA Gymnastics team, and graced
magazine covers as an Olympic hopeful alongside Mary Lou Retton but failed to
make the Olympic team. Later, when competing for SEC powerhouse LSU, Nina suffered an injury that ended her gymnastics career.

The moment became a catalyst for an esteemed 20-year career as an Emmy award-
winning journalist and News Anchor. Ever evolving, a transformative life event led
Nina into a new path from TV to Tech and into corporate leadership. As a celebrated
executive, she navigated the intricacies of a highly successful IPO.

Now, a resilient powerhouse, Nina has conquered life’s obstacles with grace and
shifted her focus to creating success for others. Drawing on her extensive
experience in communications, corporate leadership, and resilience research, she
helps individuals and organizations thrive through challenges and change to reach
new levels of success.
