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.
