Today's guest is the inspiring Syd Boyes. Syd is currently the Sport Development Coordinator for RowOntario and is a former professional rower for Canada. In 2011, Syd made the under 23 Canadian rowing team (lightweight women's double) and in 2016 she made the senior team that went on to compete at the World Championships.
