210. Nikki Hiltz, Professional Runner

Today I’m talking with Nikki Hiltz, professional runner and recently named lululemon global ambassador! There’s so much to unpack with Nikki — their experience with ending a contract, which resulted in selling Track Club T-shirts, selecting their new sponsor and so much more. We dive into Nikki’s focus on having a sponsor that supports their next move - including the first ever in-person Pride 5K event.

We also talk through Nikki’s experience with coming out as gay in 2016 and transgender in 2021, including the different reactions that came with both experiences. I so appreciated Nikki’s openness and perspective, one that will help so many stepping into their truest selves and trust their gut during even the toughest #hurdlemoments
