Breaking Trail
Breaking Trail. Every other week, Lisa Gerber talks to people who are working to make the world more habitable, more humane, and more loving. In the words of author and environmentalist David Orr, they are the “peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers and lovers of every kind” that this world needs so desperately. Through their stories, we cover themes of hope, courage, and action. This is a show for people who want to contribute to the world rather than take from it. We are living life on our own terms, defining our own version of success. We are breaking trail. Interested in being a guest?

I wanted to have Janette on\\xa0the show because she has come up in conversation about three previous episodes, all by guests mentioning Janette as a huge influence on them. For example, that\'s Ash Bocast of Roam Events in the teaser quote at the top of the episode. Before even talking to her, it was clear she subscribes to the idea of women supporting each other and lifting each other up. Although we look at this through the lens of\\xa0the mountain bike industry, it\\u2019s a great metaphor for life in general.\\xa0
Janette is the marketing manager for Yeti Cycles, a high-end\\xa0boutique mt bike brand. She has served as a mentor in the industry and is what a self-proclaimed semi-nerd, kind of in the vein of our recent show with Brendan Leonard of Semi-Rad, we will only slightly nerd out on bikes. Last year, we did a whole episode exploring if a better bike will\\xa0make you a better rider and\\xa0you better bet your ass it will. Janette is going to tell us how bike geometry and technology has evolved to make us better riders. I\\u2019d equate it to the\\xa0advent of shape skis.\\xa0
We talk about:\\xa0
- The culture and positioning at Yeti Cycles.
- Janette\'s own career path - and how she, like so many other Gear Show guests, has made choices based on fulfillment and happiness rather than money.\\xa0
- Bike geometry and technology - the evolution in the past decade.
- Bikes and how to choose the one for you.\\xa0
So let\\u2019s listen in and gear up for what\\u2019s next.\\xa0
\\xa0
Where to find Janette:
BEFORE YOU LEAVE - If you are enjoying the shows, I hope you\\u2019ll subscribe, rate, review and share with your friends!\\xa0
