![Episode 44: Dirt, Grit and Descending as One: What it Takes to Embrace #Formation: Jill Kintner]()
October 15, 2019
Jill Kintner joins me for a late night interview near Zion National Park to debrief on #formation, a Redbull community event bringing together professional female mountain bikers in a non-competitive way to dig lines, co-create, and push their riding limits mentally and physically. From the outside, professional athletes can appear to have hard and intimidating exteriors, but my conversation with Jill will forever be a reminder to push those assumptions to the backseat and proceed with an open mind. While we touch on mountain biking and her wildly successful career as a rider, I’m most excited to share with you... just Jill. We go deep and learn who Jill really is as a woman, what has driven her to win 22 National Championships, a bronze in the Olympics for BMX, and what shaped her as a kid, including a traumatic but hilarious paper route story. This episode is for anyone and everyone, we have so much to learn from Jill...
