Opening Remarks

My guest, Madonna Hanna, is a perfect example of why I created this podcast. She felt a desire to do something at a very young age and even though many years passed she never let go of the dream.

Now some of us who have put things off until later in life off have to make some adjustments.  I'm not going to be a ballerina at this point but I could take a dance class. We can get a version of what we always wanted but maybe not the exact thing we imagined when we were small. That's not the case with Madonna, and she has the medals to prove it.

She didn't let injury stop her, or the death of her beloved coach. She is serious about sprinting but you can tell from our laughter that she is enjoying her life.

There are some problems early on with her microphone. I apologize, and hope you agree that her spirit and her stories make it not that noticeable.

For all of us who watch the Olympics and imagine being a champion athlete, I hope you enjoy this interview.
