In this episode of My Future Podcast, Carson and his fellow archer and guest, Megumi Chang, dive into an inspiring story from the 2024 Paris Olympics. They explore a moment of true sportsmanship featuring gymnastics legend Simone Biles, who showed us all that greatness isn’t just about medals. Instead of focusing on her own performance, Simone and her teammate Jordan Chiles bowed in respect to their competitor, Rebeca Andrade, as she stepped onto the podium. Carson and Megumi discuss how this act of humility and kindness reflects the heart of sports—and life itself.

Join them as they reflect on Simone's powerful example of celebrating others’ victories, even amidst personal challenges, and how we can all learn to uplift those around us. Whether you're an athlete or not, this episode is a reminder that true greatness goes beyond winning—it's about respect, character, and community.
