Hey everybody, very quick ask. We are running an audience survey and I'd love for you to take a moment to check it out at richroll.com slash survey. Why are we doing this? Well, first and foremost, we really want to know you better. And the more we know who you are and what interests you most, the better that we can align the show with what matters most to you, the kinds of guests, conversations, and themes that you find most meaningful.
Second, as you know, the show would not be possible without the amazing brand partnerships that support it, which of course means ad breaks, but I really want to make the experience the best it can be, better, more relevant, and frankly, less intrusive. And to do that, to do it well, we need to understand you a little bit better. So it's super simple, just two minutes tops, but it's a small, direct way you can help us keep evolving and improving the podcast. So thanks in advance. And again, please visit richroll.com slash survey to fill out our audience survey.
All right, let's do the show. The Olympic experience is so difficult for athletes to process. And to get there, there's so much sacrifice, there's so much imbalance that when they come out of the Olympic Games, the overwhelming majority of athletes suffer what has now been called like, well, the post-Olympic blues or whatever it may be, but there's a very, very difficult transition coming from the Olympics back to civilian life or back to whatever that life is. It may be going back into college, you're still competing.
