A few months before Katie Ledecky stepped up to the starting block at the 2024 Summer Olympics, she sat down with us to discuss how her life has shaped her into the Olympian she is today.

As she flipped through personal photos and journals Katie candidly shared her journey of setting and smashing goals. One thing became clear: her accolades (and she has many as a 4-time Olympic Medalist (9-time Gold Medalist) and 21-time World Championship Gold Medalist) are the result of taking small steps every day toward her goals.

To tell her story, we partnered with Panasonic, who's initiative of "Create Today. Enrich Tomorrow.” echo's Katie's sentiment that achieving the impossible takes unwavering dedication, a powerful support system, and a contagiously positive outlook.

Our creative concept set out to capture one of the planet’s most achieving athletes' through her own words and memories and are proud to have a final product that does just that.
