Shownotes Transcript

Today we are joined by Ema Rajic as our first guest on the What Is Humans? Podcast. While Ema is our friend she just so happens to also be a national record holder, and Olympian. She sat down with us to discuss what brought her to such high performance levels at such a young age, her dreams being muted due to a global pandemic, and life after sports. 

  Her candid conversation and stories surrounding new highs is grounded by her vulnerability in expressing the lows that came with that success. Her family laid the groundwork for her strong willpower and dedication to her craft. Listen to Ema reveal the pain of coming back to swimming after achieving her biggest dream. 

  Today, Ema works in the pharmaceutical industry researching ways to help be a part of the cure for cancer. Her swimming career taught herself and both of us many things about high performance, vulnerability and what it means to be human. Enjoy.
