This episode, Mike and I were so grateful to be joined by the incredible innovator, advocate, and hugely positive influence in the skating world, Elladj Baldé. Elladj’s technical ability mixed with his entertaining showmanship made him a successful competitive figure skater for Canada. Since his retirement from amateur sport, he has become a social media icon, using his voice and platform to promote inclusion in our sport. We get into a deep conversation about the steps we can take to help be a part of that change. We also catch up with Elladj about his viral explosion and what life has been like post competition. It’s always a pleasure and an insightful conversation with Elladj; we hope you find light in it and enjoy it as much as we did.
