Welcome to Second Wind—the podcast where setbacks meet comebacks and reinvention takes center stage. Hosted by five-time Olympian and world champion Marion Jones and Suzanne Evans, NY Times best-selling author, unapologetic business strategist, and one of the most sought-after comeback coaches in the industry, this show dives into the moments when life says, “Um, that didn’t go as planned.”
Marion’s journey has had its share of detours—winning medals, losing medals, even time in federal prison. But here’s the thing: failure is not forever. She found her Second Wind, and now, alongside Suzanne, she’s helping others do the same.
Suzanne knows a thing or two about resilience herself. From being an administrative assistant making $40K a year to building a multimillion-dollar business, she’s helped thousands of entrepreneurs pivot, rebuild, and create unstoppable success.
Together, she and Marion coach high performers to push past obstacles, redefine success, and take bold next steps.
Each episode of Second Wind brings you raw, honest, and inspiring conversations with guests who’ve faced epic wipeouts—only to rise up even stronger.
Because reinvention isn’t just possible—it’s inevitable.
It’s time to catch your Second Wind.

From “Broke Surfer” to Beloved Sports Commentator with Selema Masekela
This week on Second Wind, Selema Masekela shares his incredible story of growing up as a child of immigrant parents to becoming a beloved and successful sports commentator.
Selema opens up about his personal struggles, triumphs, and the importance of representation in adventure sports. He discusses his journey navigating the challenges of being a Black man in a predominantly white-dominated field, as Marion relates with her own experiences of not seeing people like herself in certain spaces. However, Selema didn’t hold back as he explained the significance of breaking barriers and not asking for permission along the way. He believes his unique perspective has shaped his career in ways he couldn’t have imagined, and continues to share his insight with the youth through his organization - Stoked Mentoring. Additionally, Selema tells all about touring with Paul Simon, the beauty of traveling around the world instead of going to college and why DEI has become a taboo concept.
Don't miss this powerful conversation about resilience and pushing boundaries.
