What does it take to be the best in everything you do? Natalie Coughlin has broken records in the world of swimming and set a high bar for other Olympians. Not only was she the first woman to swim the 100m backstroke in under 1 minute, but she is one of the few Olympians to win back to back Olympic Gold in the same event.

Now Natalie is blazing a new path with her cooking book and her new wine brand answering the question, 'What do you do after you retire from competitive sports?' In today's show, we chat with Natalie about her professional swimming career, starting a winery, crafting her first cookbook, balancing life and staying focused, motherhood, and her return to swimming in the ISL.
