Dima Shine is one of the most accomplished circus performers working right now, winning world championships in sport acrobatics and then working for all the top circus companies, winning the top awards in the top festivals, and the rest (or, as Dima would say, "blah blah blah"). But in this candid interview, Dima goes on to talk about what happens AFTER the gold medal is awarded and the audience goes home...

If you’re reading this, you’re probably listening to it. Thank you!
