Summary
Welcome to another exciting episode where I we have the pleasure of speaking with Morgan Mitchell, a remarkable Australian track and field athlete. You may recognize her from the Netflix documentary "The Game Changers," alongside iconic figures such as James Cameron, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lewis Hamilton, and Damien Mander, who we've had the pleasure of featuring in a previous season of the podcast. Morgan has competed at both national and international levels in the 400 meter sprint and the 4 X 400 meter relay. In 2019, she switched events to focus on the 800 meter event. She has represented the country at the Commonwealth Games and the Rio Olympics in 2016. Morgan's inspiration to pursue athletics was awakened by witnessing Cathy Freeman's genius in the 200 meter event during the Sydney Olympic Games. Beyond her achievements on the track, Morgan is a passionate advocate for a plant-based lifestyle, adopting a vegan diet in 2014. She is passionate about fashion and style and has been featured by Vogue Australia and many other media outlets. I am thrilled to introduce you to our amazing guest, Morgan.
