Today’s guest is former professional cross-country skier, Annie Pokorny. She represented the U.S. at three U23 World Championships, won multiple top-10 National Titles, and was an NCAA All American. While her athletic career is over she has successfully transitioned to life after sports and now works in marketing, maintains a lifestyle blog, and runs a side copywriting business.
