I’m so excited to share this episode with Dakotah Lindwurm! After recording some post-Olympics interviews, I knew I had to bring Dakotah back on the show. This will be her fourth time joining us, and it’s always a blast having her on.

I absolutely love Dakotah, and I know you all do too. I can’t wait for you to hear this conversation with the one and only Dakotah Lindwurm!
