Emmy award-winning endurance athlete Rebecca Rusch is set to debut her new podcast 'What's the Rusch', a weekly series designed to explore personal transformation through candid conversations with accomplished individuals from sports, science, and leadership.
The podcast, premiering on February 19, 2025, will feature guests including Olympic athletes, performance psychologists, and experts in human potential. Drawing inspiration from Rusch's own experiences of personal challenge and growth, the series aims to reveal how vulnerability and introspection can catalyze profound personal development.
Guests will include high-profile personalities such as Dr. Michael Gervais, a performance psychologist, Olympic athletes Haley Batten and Kate Courtney, and explorer-photographer Chris Burkard. Each episode will delve into themes of resilience, identity, and the complex journey of personal transformation.
Rusch's motivation stems from significant personal experiences, including her recovery from a concussion and the loss of her mother, which prompted deep reflection on personal growth and authentic living. Her Emmy-winning documentary 'Blood Road', which chronicled her 1,200-mile journey along the Ho Chi Minh Trail, further influenced her approach to storytelling and personal exploration.
By creating a platform that bridges performance, philosophy, and personal narrative, 'What's the Rusch' offers listeners a unique opportunity to examine their own paths of growth and potential. The podcast represents more than entertainment, positioning itself as an invitation for audiences to explore their authentic selves and redefine personal success.
