Kristen Faulkner: Journey from Venture Capitalist to

When Kristen Faulkner gave cycling a try in 2016, she was already excelling in a venture capital career and had eyes on making partner. Three years later, she turned pro while working at Threshold Ventures and quickly started crushing European stages. Now she’s a pro cyclist UCI Women's Continental Team Team Jayco-AlUla ‪@greenedge‬ and recently finished 3rd at Strade Bianche after a 40km solo attack.
The Harvard grad joins host Andrew Vontz and Spencer Martin of Beyond the Peloton for a conversation about the life experiences that have shaped her. Kristen talks about stress management, downregulation, becoming an expert learner and how growing up in the Alaskan wilderness with her four siblings prepared her to thrive as a tenacious human later in life.
