Allyson Felix, Olympic Gold Medalist and Co-Founder of Saysh

U.S. Olympic Gold Medalist and World Champion Allyson Felix knows a thing or two about competition at the highest levels. Her incredible track and field career has led her to be the 'winningest athlete of all time' and a champion for mothers everywhere. However, her athletic career is just the beginning of her tremendous story of 'creating something out of nothing.' Over the flavors of her favorite childhood restaurant, Harold and Belle's in LA, Allyson shares her tale of turning a setback into a setup for an entirely different kind of success. When Nike wouldn't support her pregnancy during her athletic career, Allyson decided to create her own footwear company that would put mothers' first. Allyson is now the CEO of Founder of Saysh, where she is marrying her competitive spirit and her fierce advocacy of maternal rights.
