The Stripped Naked Podcast is underway with our first guest delivering wisdom, inspiration, and motivation in a big way. Haley Daniels, an Olympian who represented Canada in the sport of Canoe Slalom in Tokyo 2020/21 and multiple national championship titles holder, is Marci’s first guest. Haley share the highs and lows of being an athlete at the highest level while taking on the demands of sponsorship, fundraising, entrepreneurship and building her brand. She is also an advocate for greater gender equity opportunities within the sport amplifying the voices of LGBTQ+ individuals, all while training and navigating the demands of sport identity. Balancing the transition from elite athlete to NARP (Normal Average Regular Person) might be the trickiest challenge for her yet. Haley admits that it’s not easy managing the expectations you have for yourself with the expectations from others. She knows this is something that she is going to have to work through while seizing every opportunity in her path. For now, Haley continues to arm herself with educational opportunities, consulting with her personal board of directors, and continuing to explore new environs. She’s a thrill-seeker, full of adventure, often on the go and loves living life on the edge with activities like ice climbing, mountain biking, skiing, kayaking, while finding any other rad outdoor quest. With her entrepreneurial spirit, Haley Daniels is going places and we can’t wait to hear what’s next for her on this non-competitive journey.
