In this episode, Keith and Tim discuss the expansive coverage of Alysa Liu's recent gold medal figure skating win in the 2026 Winter Olympic Games. She seems to have found and embraced a mentality that is very much aligned with mindfulness, but how well is the media actually grasping the nuances she's describing? And, what can we learn about motivation, achievement, and competing without "carrying" the pressure of it?

Alysa Liu Walked Away from Skating. Her Fresh Outlook When she Returned Helped her win Olympic Gold
*Clarification: During our discussion, Tim mentioned the concept of mudita or sympathetic joy and identified it as one of the Pāramitās in Buddhism, but it is actually one of the Brahmaviharas. These are similar concepts in that the former refers to a set of 6 (or 10 depending on the sect of Buddhism) noble virtues while the latter refers to a set of 4 "sublime attitudes." While these different sets are distinct, both represent intentional ways of being or practices that can help reduce the suffering of self and others.
