Have you ever wanted to go after a dream and either felt that you were too young, too old, or had been rejected? Have you ever been knocked down so hard you felt you would never get back up? On this episode of E2T Explore, Experience, Thrive, Marci Nault speaks with Aviva Cantor, a published children's book author, competitive figure skater and the U.S. Figure Skating Adult Skating Committee's youngest Chair. Aviva speaks to what it means to pursue your deepest passions and schedule your dreams as if they were as important as your work meetings. Listeners will learn how to take on your dreams at any age, even if you've fallen down 100 times (and in front of an audience), and how a little silliness can make things so much easier.

Bio:

Aviva Cantor is the ninth and youngest-ever Chair of the U.S. Figure Skating Adult Skating Committee. This committee oversees the Adult Skating Program, which offers meaningful opportunities for skaters throughout the United States. As a lifelong skater, Aviva’s goal is to continue to guide the committee and the sport in a direction where longevity is a top priority. As a competitor, Aviva particularly enjoys theatrical events where bizarre and flamboyant props are encouraged. Off the ice, Aviva is a self-published children’s book author with professional expertise in fashion e-commerce, branding, marketing, and search engine optimization. If she isn’t skating with unusual objects or writing a catchy tagline, it’s highly likely that Aviva is knitting, cooking, or listening to a true crime podcast.
