Heather Monahan

we have her on the show. Now, that is not why I cried. So I had researched Ali a lot outside of Peloton, the same way I would any anyone that I interview, I read their books, I listen to their TED talks, I whatever their thing is, I'm all over it for hours and hours to prep and make sure I'm prepared for the interview. So I just consumed so much of Allie's content. Her TED Talk's awesome.

It's really short, seven minutes. It's really good. And she killed it. I went through so many different interviews that she's done and was just so blown away by her story. Also, I didn't know she's going to share something really powerful with us today. And she only just recently started talking about it. And it's something that happened to her when she was nine years old.

So she's being very vulnerable and I know how scary that can be. Well, being a white woman that's interviewing a black woman right now in the current situation in the world, I felt vulnerable. I also felt it was my job and duty to show up and ask her what her thoughts are, how she's leading, how she's leading as a Peloton instructor, as a black woman in this environment we're in.

I didn't know how to word it. And I really hadn't been thinking about that because the more I would think about it, I got scared, right? Scared because here's the thing. People are judging other people. People are hating on other people. I've gotten some really nasty messages. If you don't post something fast enough, you're wrong.

If you post something too fast and didn't do it right, you're wrong. If you didn't use the right hashtag, you're wrong. If you weren't vocal enough, you're wrong. And those are the kinds of things that I'm getting. And I know some really large influencers that have deleted Instagram pages, paused posting because the amount of attack they're getting is massive.

I'm not here to weigh in on if it's warranted with some of these people. Listen, some of these people, if anyone's racist, then I get it. You know, I do not tolerate racism. However, it's just... There's a lot of hatred out there right now. There's a lot of attack right now. And there's a lot of judging. And frankly, there's a lot of ignorance too.

And that's what my fear was, was that I would be ignorant. I didn't want to be ignorant. And that's what I kept thinking about is that if I say it the wrong way, I'm ignorant. I was afraid. I didn't want to do it wrong. And I didn't know the right way to do it because for me, I haven't done it before. Up until this point, I've just posted things online.
