Geena Urango: The newest AVP Champ who’s living life fully in the present

This episode of SANDCAST features Geena Urango, one of the first guests we ever had on the podcast and the newest AVP CHAMPION! Urango and Julia Scoles won the AVP Atlanta Gold Series event, just one week after finishing second in the AVP Fort Lauderdale Pro Series. We chatted allllll about that win, as well as:

• How letting go of the outcome is what ultimately led to Urango winning her first AVP
• Making her first AVP final in 2015, and the long wait to finally win her first
• What makes Julia Scoles so special
• Why the AVP is the perfect level of commitment for her

And, as always, so much more.

ENJOY!
