104. Stop Telling Yourself "No" Before you Even Start (ft. Marine & Olympic Hopeful Riley Tejcek)

How often do you keep yourself from pursuing your dreams because
you've never seen it done before? Do you tell yourself "no" before
you even begin? I have Marine & Olympic hopeful Riley Tejcek
sharing how she's developed her fearless mentality and dove into
the world of Active-Duty Service while balancing the demands of an
Olympic Sport. Riley is a 1stLt in the USMC, 0402 Logistics
Officer, Female Marine Athlete the Year, 2023 Ms. Military, member
of team USA National Team Bobsled Pilot and Christian. In this
episode, Riley shares why she's happy she didn't listen to the
naysayers nor let the road less travel scare her from working
toward the Olympic team. She explains how she began her journey to
balance both the Marine Corps and training for the Olympics, how
she gained Chain of Command approval, the demands of both, why she
started her social media platform, as well as tips to balance both
passions & your profession. Love Riley? Instagram:
