Night

Last night's Podium Launch Party at The Magic Castle ✨

Thirteen VidCon's in and I still get butterflies walking that convention hall. Every year is a reminder of just how exciting and fast-moving this industry really is. Getting to connect face-to-face with people I message all day through a screen, and watching creators interact with their fans in real life, is proof that nothing replaces that in-person energy. I vlogged the whole trip so you could get a taste of it. But a screen will only get you so far as you really have to be in the room. Shoutout to my executive producers, Kevin Kling & Sydney Scirica! 13 down, many more to come, cheers to 2027💥

Excited to officially announce our partnership with Cadence. One thing Tara Davis-Woodhall and I have become more intentional about is building partnerships that are genuine to how we train, compete, and live every day. We want to work with brands we truly believe in and help build for the long term. That’s what made Cadence feel different from the beginning. Performance at the highest level comes down to consistency, recovery, preparation, and paying attention to the small details every single day. Hydration is a huge part of that process for us, and Cadence quickly became something we naturally incorporated into our daily routine. Tara and I also love that it feels like a modern alternative to the traditional sports drinks we have seen in grocery stores for years. What also really excited us was the vision behind the company, founded by Ross Mackay, and where the brand is headed. Cadence really understands storytelling and how today’s athletes strive to connect directly with their audiences. Track & Field is one of the most global sports, but there’s still so much opportunity for a new style of innovation and storytelling. I am also excited for a new brand to enter the sport in a meaningful way. Our partnership includes Cadence appearing on our Nike competition uniforms this season, a sponsorship area that is uncommon in the sport. Historically, most athletes haven’t utilized that space in a meaningful way, so we’re excited to help show what’s possible when athletes and brands build true long-term partnerships together. The sports world is changing quickly, and the best partnerships today feel much more collaborative, authentic, and community-driven than they did in the past. Athletes want to help build brands they genuinely connect with. That’s why this partnership means so much to us. In addition to joining as ambassadors, we’ve also invested in the company because we believe in the people, the product, and the future of the brand. Excited for what’s ahead as we start the road toward LA together. https://lnkd.in/gNmQy8Wu

Today, Hunter Woodhall and I are officially joining Team Cadence! One thing I have learned over the last few years is that when you are training and competing at a high level, the little things really matter. Everyone sees the competitions, the medals, and the big public moments, but so much of success in sports comes from what happens every single day through countless hours of training, recovery, and preparation. This year has been especially demanding for me. Adding hurdles has meant more running, more hard workouts, and a lot more being asked of my body. That is one of the reasons I was so excited when we found Cadence. Cadence has genuinely become part of my daily routine. Whether I’m heading to practice, recovering after a hard workout, traveling, or getting ready to compete, it’s the drink I reach for every day. I'm also excited to see a new brand investing in track & field. Our sport deserves more attention and more companies willing to support athletes. Shoutout to Cadence founder Ross Mackay and all of our partners who have believed in us and recognized the unique value that athletes and our sport can bring to their businesses. Starting this Sunday at the LA Grand Prix, you will see the Cadence logo on my Nike competition uniform this season. Sponsorship opportunities like that are still rare in track & field, and I’m proud to represent a brand that is entering the sport for the first time. Excited for what’s ahead and grateful to have Cadence alongside me. https://lnkd.in/eq4tqjEV
