Premier Insights Podcast

Host Raphael Levon Price welcomes rising snowboarder Brian Rice II—better known as Flyin’ Brian—for a powerful origin story that goes from the small hills of Michigan to the elite peaks of Vail. Brian shares how he tried every sport imaginable until snowboarding became the one thing he couldn’t live without, and how his mom’s relentless belief in him literally launched his career—starting a ski club just so he’d have a crew to ride with, then quietly signing him up for competitions that changed his life. He opens up about competing for the first time without even knowing it, winning soon after, and making the leap at just 13 years old to move across the country alone to train with Ski & Snowboard Club Vail, the top winter sports program in North America. Along the way, Brian breaks down the mindset that fuels his grind—lessons from his father and coaches, the courage to try again after failure, and why fun is the secret ingredient to real success. This episode also features 10 exclusive clips Flyin’ Brian sent in, showcasing his tricks, training, and the big, playful, unique style that’s putting him on a path to history as he chases his dream of becoming the first Black American to compete in snowboarding at the Winter Olympics.
