"It's kind of like... when the oracle is talking to Neo, and she's like, 'Know thyself.' I think if you just really stay true to yourself, and go, and just follow your dreams, I don't think you can lose." 💫🏄🏽♀️
When I happened to chance upon a video of Katie McConnell masterfully dropping into monster waves in Nazaré, Portugal , and then heard her thoughtfully describe epic hold-downs, I knew I had to try to bring her on the show. Katie's trophy case is overflowing with wins at prestigious events , and this interview is quite timely as she just won the tow award at the Red Bull Magnitude in Hawaii! However, more than just a big wave rider, Katie is a brilliant marine biologist and a true champion of the oceans. 🌊🐠
This conversation goes beyond the podium. Katie opens up about her journey of self-discovery through surfing, the challenges of being a female pioneer in a male dominated sport, and her creative hustle to balance her passions with the realities of life. It’s an honor to be able to share her intelligence, humility, and gift for storytelling. 🙏🏾💜
