#17 🇷🇺 Siberia to Sioux Falls, College Tennis, Becoming a Leader - Sasha Kistanova (4K)

The first 4 episodes of this season have been recorded in Kansas and Minnesota but this episode is incredibly special because this will be the first of MANY episodes to come, being recored on Campus at Augustana University (USA), which is where we all went to college. Without further a due let’s kick it off! In this episode we are joined by a someone who’s competitive nature drove her dream of playing Tennis at an American College. She grew up in a small town in Siberia, Russia and has just graduated this past weekend from Augustana University as a super senior. She’s finally been able to collect her major in Business, Economics and Computer Science, as well as her government minor. For me, it was surreal stepping back on campus again, even though I didn’t have too much time to soak it up just yet. I had to meet up right away with this amazing guest before she flew home. I loved this conversation and I hope you do to. Let’s go Back to College with Sasha.
