For the first 20+ years of her life, soccer was all that Katy Marshall knew. It was her entire identity.

But when reality set in that she wouldn't play professionally, panic ensued. What was her purpose without sports, and where should she go to find it?

Over the next few years, Katy asked herself these questions as she left the Seacoast in search of self-discovery. She eventually found the answers she craved, but she found them in the most unlikely of places.

In her first podcast interview, Katy opens up about life before, during, and after the founding of Studio One, the Dover-based cycling studio that gives Katy everything she's searching for in this life.

In today's conversation from the Studio One lobby, Katy and I discuss:
