Gus Kenworthy was already a freestyle skiing legend when he changed the landscape of the sport entirely. Coming out publicly in 2015, he became the first openly gay athlete in action sports– a moment that didn’t slow him down, but sharpened his edge.

 

Now, more than a decade later, host Rennae Stubbs sits down with Gus to reflect on a career defined by boldness, fearlessness, and authenticity, and how being fully himself became a kind of superpower.
