Episode 43: Chronic Silence with Cole Shields

On this episode we speak to Olympic silver medallist Cole Shields. This is one of the more incredible stories we've had on the podcast as we hear about how Cole battled through multiple major set backs and chronic fatigue to reach the podium in Paris. I don't think we've ever had more ridiculous stories and tangents.
