[0:00]Do you think before you speak because you answer questions so quickly and so comprehensively, whether it's about geopolitics or your sport or aerodynamics, like can you take us into your brain?
[0:18]I think I apply a very analytical lens to my own thinking, and I kind of modify it because it's so interesting.
[0:18]And especially as a young person, like I'm 22, so with neuroplasticity on my side, I can literally become exactly who I want to be.
[0:18]And so the fact is I get to become every day the kind of person that me at age eight would revere.

[0:00]Do you think before you speak because you answer questions so quickly and so comprehensively, whether it's about geopolitics or your sport or aerodynamics, like can you take us into your brain?

[0:18]Thank you, Charlotte. That's very kind. Um, oh man, do I think I think overall, I'm just a pensive person. Like I'm a very introspective. I'm an introspective young woman, like I spend a lot of time in my head. Um, and it's not a bad place to be. I, I journal a lot. I break down all of my thought processes. I think I apply a very analytical lens to my own thinking, and I kind of modify it because it's so interesting. You can control what you think. Like you can control how you think and therefore you can control who you are. And especially as a young person, like I'm 22, so with neuroplasticity on my side, I can literally become exactly who I want to be. How cool is that? Like how empowering is that, right? And so the fact is I get to become every day the kind of person that me at age eight would revere. Like I would be obsessed with me today. Are you kidding? I would love me and I think that's the biggest flex of all time that you can have like little younger you be proud of you today. And so I guess for me, it's like I, yes, I spent a lot of time in my own head. Yes, I think a lot, but it's not really like in an egotistical kind of way. It's in like a tinkering, like a scientist kind of way. I'm always like trying to modify. I'm trying to think how can I be better? How can I approach my own brain, the way that I approach my craft of free skiing, um, so that I can be better tomorrow than I was today.
