In this episode, host Geoffrey Zakarian speaks with Olympic figure skater Adam Rippon. They discuss how TV dinners and Russian staples were the childhood diet of a future champion, the sacrifices he and his family made to support his love for skating, and – after competing at the most elite level – how Adam is building a fulfilling life beyond the ice rink.
