Katie Ledecky has won more individual Olympic races than any female swimmer in history. She is a three-time Olympian, a seven-time gold medalist, a twenty-one-time world champion, eight-time NCAA Champion, and a world record-holder in individual swimming events. Time and again, the question is posed to her family, her coaches, and to her—what makes her a champion? Now, for the first time, she shares what it takes to compete at an elite level.

Insight into what matters the most
Revisado: 07-30-24
I love how she told her journey by describing not only specific events, but dedicating whole chapters to specific people & organizations along the way that have helped get her to where she is today.

Quick guide that’ll get you motivated
Revisado: 06-02-24
This was a quick enough listen that you can easily come back to and reference. She drops so many gems that you will want to jot them down and rewind. Sometimes our biggest roadblock is ourselves, and she provides a new mindset to get you on the right track.

Stand-up comedian, actress, and host Michelle Buteau reflects on growing up Caribbean, Catholic, and thick in New Jersey, going to college in Miami (where everyone smells like pineapple), her many friendship and dating disasters, working as a newsroom editor during 9/11, getting started in stand-up opening for male strippers, marrying into her husband’s Dutch family, IVF and surrogacy, motherhood, chosen family, and what it feels like to have a full heart, tight jeans, and stardom finally in her grasp.

Unfavorable performance, more career than personal focused
Revisado: 03-23-23
I wasn’t a fan of the performance. The pace was slow & felt like she was reading text off of a teleprompter more than telling her personal story. Majorly focused on her C-Suite career, so I found it more of a career-focused self help book feel than a memoir. She does include a couple of deeply personal stories, but I expected to get much more personal details about upbringing, personal relationships with friends & family like you see in other memoirs. A lot of book seemed very surface and note based on personal introspective reflection.

From a leading journalist and activist comes a brave, beautifully wrought memoir. When Darnell Moore was 14, three boys from his neighborhood tried to set him on fire. He escaped, but just barely. It wasn't the last time he would face death. Three decades later, Moore is an award-winning writer, a leading Black Lives Matter activist, and an advocate for justice and liberation. In No Ashes in the Fire, he shares the journey taken by that scared, bullied teenager who not only survived, but found his calling.

Candid & Honest Memoir
Revisado: 03-10-23
This was an excellent memoir that was enhanced by the author narrating his own book. It was truly a vulnerable and candid depiction of his experience growing up black and queer in America.

Waste of Time

Not what I expected. This was just Billie and her parents reminiscing over a photo album. There was no script/text, no structure, no flow. Maybe this should have been listed under podcasts?
