We talk about the intense production environment, including craft services, hair and makeup challenges, and a stylist who helped Erin conquer her fear of jeans. We highlight Erin’s interactions with Team USA’s Mo, who runs digital media, and crew members with credits on Modern Family and Ellen. We cover meeting athletes like snowboarder Maddie Mastro, skeleton athlete Mystique Ro, and para-athletes Andrew Kurka and a Paralympic curler with an inspiring story.
