S2E17: Lael Wilcox

I hadn’t heard of Lael Wilcox. Now that I’ve met her, I have two thoughts: One… EVERYone should know Lael Wilcox. Or at least a person like her. Her positivity is infectious and her courage and willpower is something that we all need a bit of. And two… how did I not know of Lael Wilcox? Our lives have overlapped in a lot of ways. I worked to design the branding and iconography on the Anchorage Trail System, the same trails that Lael grew up riding on. And we both ate at the same restaurants and know a bunch of the same people. And she’s also the TOP ultra-endurance cyclist in the world. And I love to ride. Crazy, right?

But life is odd. When we finally were able to talk, we found that we had quite a bit in common. And she’s one of those people I hope to hang out with in person some day… something tells me we could swap stories for hours.

I really enjoyed making this episode. It was awesome to talk to someone from the same town. It was even better to make a new friend who is so kind. Cheers.
