Episode #29: Freedom with Kristy Titus and Jana Waller

Happy 4th of July 2017! If you are an American, this day is synonymous with summer, fireworks, and celebration! It seems there is no better way to get this day going than with a fabulous group of ladies talking about the freedoms we hold dear! Jana Waller of Skullbound TV and Kristy Titus of Pursue the Wild take an hour out of their busy speaking schedules at the NW Elk Camp in Oregon, to talk with Dr. Hillary about all kinds of things! The overall theme is the powerful friendships and family that this community has, and why it's a message that the world need right now. Kristy and Jana are both conservationists and have forged successful careers in the predominantly male demographic. They both speak of inclusion, acceptance, and mental dedication to this lifestyle they so love. They are wonderful role models for us all, and it was such a pleasure to get to learn more about them!
