Adam Rippon on Persistence, Failure, and Spinning

In this episode, host Geoffrey Zakarian speaks with Olympic figure skater Adam Rippon. They discuss how TV dinners and Russian staples were the childhood diet of a future champion, the sacrifices he and his family made to support his love for skating, and – after competing at the most elite level – how Adam is building a fulfilling life beyond the ice rink.
