Episode 6: Dominique Dawes, Founder and Brand Ambassador, Dominique Dawes Academy

What comes after Olympic gold? For Dominique Dawes — three-time Olympian, trailblazing gymnast and now founder of a growing gymnastics academy — the answer is greater purpose. In this episode, host Dan Simons sits down with Dominique to unpack her remarkable transition from elite athlete to mission-driven entrepreneur launching a youth-focused business, scaling it with intention and redefining success. Dominique shares how the toxic culture and abuse she endured helped shape her vision for the Dominique Dawes Academy, a movement-first gymnastics and ninja program rooted in mental health, confidence and community.
