Listen now
Description
Today's conversation is taking us to Hawaii, on the island of Maui, where my guest was up before the chickens to talk to me, her name is Jenn Biestman.  Jenn's story is truly uplifting.  At the age of 27, Jenn suffered a severe back injury that left her immobilized and in pain with no real prospect of recovery. Basically, the doctors had made it clear that her life as an adventurous human being was doomed… In the turmoil of having to face this life-shattering news, she hobbled to the airport, and took off to Maui to try to figure things out.  This is the uplifting story of her recovery, how she hacked surfing progression to become a downwind SUP racer, hydrofoiler and experimented surfer, and what inspired her to create her stylish and meaningful clothing brand called Local-ish and eventually drop out of the corporate ladder.
