Willie Reichenstein is one of those guys that we all want to grow up to be like. 76 years young and fitter and faster than 98% of the population. He has not stopped, nor even slowed, since his Olympic Games in 1976 and 1980. From Scotland to California, Willie is a family man, a lifelong teacher, a beast of an athlete, an awesome role model, and is amazingly nice, humble, and as cool as a guy you could hope to have in your circle.
Willie was high on my list to get in the studio and I’m so grateful for this interview. Whether you know Willie or not, you’ll want to hear his stories. So good. Enjoy and thanks ⚡
