We last chatted with Jody in Episode 29 when Gro Girl Gro was just starting out. She has amazing energy and an unwavering drive for empowering women and young girls, helping them increase their confidence, and bringing them into the sport of mountain biking. We always learn much from Jody… and this episode is no exception.
