Alexi Pappas is a true "multi hyphenate" — an Olympian, award-winning filmmaker, actress, bestselling author and podcast host. After losing her mom to suicide when she was four, she needed to find other people to lean on. That's why she started Mentor Buffet — to find other people to lean on, and learn from their success. She’s leaned on mentors to help her level up faster than she could on her own. Now, it’s Alexi’s turn to peel back the curtain on mentorship.A Greek-American, Alexi is the Greek national recordholder in the 10,000 meters. Alexi graduated magna cum laude from Dartmouth College and also ran for the University of Oregon as a 5th year, leading the team to two NCAA victories. She was also named Runner’s World “Face of the New Boom in Running” and featured on the magazine’s 50th anniversary cover.Alexi's critically acclaimed memoir-in-essays, Bravey, was included in multiple “best books of the year” lists. She's directed and starred in multiple feature films, including Tracktown and Olympic Dreams, premiering at SXSW and co-starring Nick Kroll.
