In this episode, Dani Moreno and EmKay Sullivan interview Cam Smith, a rare dual-threat athlete who’s carved his way from Vertical K and uphill mountain running to earning a spot on Team USA’s Olympic skimo team.

Cam breaks down how long he has been eyeing the 2026 Winter Olympics, what it actually takes to make an Olympic team in a endurance sport, and dives into his history of injuries and comebacks these past few years.
