GETTING BETTER | How to Pivot Your Career Without Spiraling — with Adam Rippon

Your worth is not tied to your results. 

This week, JVN is joined by Olympic Bronze Medalist – figure skater, author, and all-around icon Adam Rippon to talk about career pivots, personal reinvention, and why stepping into a new chapter can be one of the most powerful moves you make.

They’re talking all about growing up in the golden age of 90s and 2000s figure skating, deep dives on Oksana Baiul’s online persona, and straight men with a little flourish— plus Adam’s early predictions for the 2026 Winter Olympics.

They also dig into what it means to prepare for a new phase of your career or life, navigating long-distance relationships, a cosmetic procedure kiki, and Adam’s new med-spa venture. And of course: how to know when it’s truly time to make the pivot — and what it looks like to do it with confidence. 

Catch Adam’s podcasts Intrusive Thoughts and The Run Through (which he co-hosts with Ashley Wagner and Sarah Hughs) anywhere you get your pods.
