In this episode:

Have you ever been completely floored by the depth of character a person possesses after meeting with them for only one time? I had this experience when interviewing Janine Kuestner. I met her at the Saline Celtic Festival this fall. I spotted her participating in the Highland Game competition (events that I did not know were open to women competitors) wearing a hot-pink t-shirt emblazed with Title IX on the front as she wielded some God-awful heavy load over a bar suspended overhead. I knew then that I had to get to get her on the podcast! While interviewing her, I discovered that she has been an athlete throughout her entire life with no intention to ever quit. All of this, and she is a Title IX activist. In short, Janine Kuestner is - truly - a girl with guts!
