SBR Vault - Conversations with Ian Happ & Gracie Gold

PODCAST: We enter the Sports Business Radio Vault to look back on conversations with Ian Happ (@ihapp_1), Chicago Cubs All-Star and Gold Glove outfielder, Co-Host of The Compound podcast (@thecompoundpod), entrepreneur and mental health advocate and Gracie Gold (@GracieGold95 on IG), Two-time U.S. National Champion and Olympic Figure Skater.

Happ discusses his experiences with the Cubs, his process when it comes to Co-Hosting The Compound podcast, what he looks for in a business partner and he speaks out on the importance of mental health and why that topic is a personal one for him.

Gold discusses the mental and emotional toll the pressure that being an elite athlete has had on her, spending her entire life focused on a 4-minute performance on the ice at the Olympics and at the U.S. Figure Skating National championships and the lack of mental health and post Olympic career resources that are available to Olympic athletes. Driven by passion, but broken by pursuit, Gold has battled depression and she opens up about her struggles during this candid interview. Gold also offers solutions for how mental health issues for athletes can be treated in the future.
