Defiance is an Asset - an interview with Gary Hall Jr
Aug 19, 2022 Season 2 Episode 11
Elizabeth Baker, Amy Steiner

Liz and Amy sit down with diabetes advocate, 2-time World Record Holder, and 10-time Olympic medalist Gary Hall Jr to talk about his experiences swimming at an elite level with a new T1 diabetes diagnosis, the mental stresses of diabetes, training, and competition, and his advocacy efforts since retirement. The moral of this episode? Meet your heroes because they can be incredibly inspirational in real life (plus, Gary was really cool about Amy being weird and fan-girling hard).
