Do you know your cognitive profile? Amber Hanna, a cognitive design consultant who’s helped me personally in ways I’m really grateful for. Amber specializes in using neuro regulation techniques—like meditation, exercise, and creating personalized environments—to help people manage ADHD, high sensitivity, and other neurodivergent conditions. In this episode, we talk about the importance of creating a supportive environment tailored to your needs, the significance of setting boundaries, and how to use sensory cues to minimize stress and maximize comfort.

Amber also dives into the value of understanding neurodiversity, and we discuss how these techniques help people find better mental well-being, productivity, and balance. I share a few takeaways from my work with Amber—like reframing periods of boredom, diving into those “boring” tasks with a new perspective, and going all-in on recovery strategies. If you’re looking for ways to improve your self-care, create a more mindful environment, or manage your mental well-being, this episode is full of great insights.

Hosts Travis Macy and Cam Smith kick things off with a deep dive into Cam’s 2025 season—one packed with high-altitude racing, Olympic aspirations, and, yes, a meticulous croissant tally (52 and counting).

Fresh off a standout performance at the World Cup in Andorra, Cam breaks down Team USA’s strategy in the mixed relay event, a crucial step in securing a quota spot for the 2026 Olympics. He shares insights into relay dynamics, the mental and physical demands of skimo racing, and how he balances elite-level training with his work at the Adaptive Sports Center.

Beyond the lung-burning ascents and lightning-fast transitions, Cam opens up about the mental side of competition, the role of a sports psychologist in his journey, and how he stays motivated through setbacks and injuries. Plus, hear about his plans for the World Cup relays and his big goal: the Mountain Trail World Championships in September.

Join us for this exciting first episode—Cam will be co-hosting SKIMO Gold regularly, bringing you insider knowledge, athlete stories, and plenty of stoke for the sport. Let’s go!

How do you navigate the space between ambition and contentment? In this episode, I sit down with author Steve Magness to unpack the psychological forces that shape our beliefs and behaviors - and more importantly, how we can take back control.

Steve's new book 'Win the Inside Game' covers the latest research on identity, belonging, and the pursuit of success. But as a former elite runner and coach, he's also got powerful personal stories to share about the pitfalls of hyper-focus and the importance of maintaining joy in your passions.

Whether you're a parent navigating the challenges of raising kids today, an athlete striving for peak performance, or simply someone trying to stay true to yourself in a divided world - this conversation is packed with insights you won't want to miss.
