Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Olivier Bernhard: Impossible Means They Don't Know How
Q: And the whole process of how this kind of came about.
Unable to resolve his Achilles problems, Bernhard experimented with footwear in his garage. A friend who was an engineer suggested cutting up a garden hose and gluing the pieces to a shoe. Bernhard tested the prototype and felt its potential immediately.

It proved I could compete at the highest level even when everything wasn't perfect, which helped combat imposter syndrome and showed that I could trust my brain to push through hard moments.
