Clark interviews former Olympic athlete, medal-winning figure skater, and self-proclaimed “America’s Sweetheart” Adam Rippon. Clark asks Adam about his drive and ambition surrounding figure-skating at an early age, and how it shaped his teen years. Adam comments on the binary divide in sports. Clark asks Adam how he wrestled with his own sexual identity. Clark and Adam discuss the irony of their younger selves promising they’d never reveal their sexual identities to the world; now, they both have been awarded the Human Rights Campaign's HRC Visibility Award.
Clark asks Adam how his position as an athlete and public figure changed after he came out. Adam discuses his experience on the world stage at the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics. Clark asks Adam about his long-distance relationship, and Adam aptly describes why he and his partner have a thriving relationship. Finally, Adam shares what is currently healing his mind, body and spirit—his Soul Balm.
