Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Seth Kelsey: World Champion Fencer on Going All-In, Olympic Heartbreak, and Investing in the Process | Direct Elimination Ep. 22
Q: What was your all-in moment where fencing became something that you wanted to dedicate yourself to?
Seth mentioned that after the 2008 Olympics, changes were made to include full strength conditioning programs, and he realized that it was a point where he needed to fully commit or not at all.
Keeth Smart: From Olympic Heartbreak to Silver Medal Redemption | Direct Elimination Ep. 20
Q: How are you able to successfully hang up the gloves after your Olympic career?
I kind of knew I was going to retire in 2007, so I started applying to business school while still competing, which helped with my transition.
Keeth Smart: From Olympic Heartbreak to Silver Medal Redemption | Direct Elimination Ep. 20
Q: Do you think this is the right path for fencing regarding the World Fencing League?
I first love the idea, and I think it is possible, it's a great opportunity, but you have to focus on non-fencing audiences to sustain support in the long run.
Keeth Smart: From Olympic Heartbreak to Silver Medal Redemption | Direct Elimination Ep. 20
Q: Was there a moment that you can remember where you bought all in or a series of moments where you continued to buy all in?
I would say there was. It was probably when I turned 16. I went to a NAC in California and beat Terrence to make the final. It woke me up and gave me confidence to go forward.
Keeth Smart: From Olympic Heartbreak to Silver Medal Redemption | Direct Elimination Ep. 20
Q: Would you describe yourself as a passionate guy?
Definitely. I'm very passionate.
