I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick.
Chapter 3: What role does mentorship play in athletic success?
And guess what? We created our own podcast called Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast?
Chapter 4: How can you turn setbacks into fuel for success?
Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions.
Chapter 5: What are the challenges of being a minority in a predominantly white sport?
Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it, but you know. Tired and sick. Tired and sick.
Listen to Hey Jonas on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Fencing literally saved my life.
Chapter 6: What does it take to perform under extreme pressure?
Fencing is known for being a notoriously white sport. Talk to me about what it felt like getting to the Olympics, winning bronze.
My mom always just said, just win. And then what can I say? I'm the best now. I'm still a 12-year-old kid, just 6'5", covered in tattoos. Winning is great, but changing a sport is bigger than any Olympic gold medal I could ever win.

Well, thank you.
Chapter 8: What important life lessons did Miles learn from his family dynamics?
That was an absolute incredible intro. It's an honor to be here, honestly. Before I kind of got to meet you, it's really nice to be a fan of your work. And I think you instill some incredible ideas on people, make them feel better, which the world needs more than ever. So thank you for that. And it's an honor.
Dude, we met in the best way possible. I felt like we were on a boy's trip, which is what I felt like. And it just turned out to be like the easiest conversation. You guys like invited me into the Wolfpack, which made me feel really, really comfortable. We played poker from 11pm to 7am, three nights in a row. We were out on the water. It was amazing. And I just, you know, I know that
I was kind of coming in fresh and new and it was just, you were one of those people, you and Spins especially, good shout out Spins. You were one of those people that just made me feel like at home. So not only are you amazing at what you do, which we'll get into, you're a great guy off as well. So I appreciate you, man. Thank you.
I want to dive in by asking you like what I heard from you and I've been watching your interviews and obviously I came to your event, which we'll talk about in a second, but I feel like you always felt like you didn't quite fit in. Talk to me about your earliest memory that reminds you of that feeling.
I think being born in London, my mom was kind of the mom and dad. That was kind of in my life until I was about eight years old. So I think naturally you kind of rebel. So I think when I was playing football, running track and field, I always felt like I was just different, kind of my approach, my mindset. And then we moved to America when I was about nine or 10, kind of in between those years.
And those years are very important, right? All your friends are there, your family's there. So naturally moving from London to New York, I was like, I don't want to be here. So getting into trouble, getting kicked out of my first school, public school, then I got kicked out of my second school.
And then my mother met someone that was on the admissions program for private school, which they give tuition grants because we had money at the time. But as a punishment, I had to pick up tennis fencing or badminton.
As a punishment.
Because they're considered mental sports. I was like, oh, whatever. Sports are fun. And then I was like, wait, I can pick up a sword and like stab you, right? I was like, this is like the kid's dream. And then immediately, that was my purpose. Because you put the mask on and you feel like a superhero.
