THERE IS POWER IN PURSUIT – INTERVIEW WITH KHADEVIS ROBINSON

Our latest podcast episode is with four-time USA 800m champion and two-time Olympian Khadevis Robinson. He shares stories from his illustrious career and speaks about why there is power in pursuing big goals.

In this episode…

We speak with KD, Khadevis Robinson, two-time Olympian at 800 meters and current coach at THE Ohio State University. Khadevis has had a career of ups and downs, winning four US championships and two Olympic teams, while also finishing the dreaded fourth place at two other Olympic Trials, which we talk about in detail.

We cover a ton of ground in this episode: mindsets, discipline, opportunities, talents, leadership. At one point, KD says he is just energy giving energy and you will feel that in this episode. KD speaks with such passion about a range of topics, and it’s hard not to be inspired when you listen to him.

This conversation was a true joy and I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
