“That fire that had been burning inside me, it was finally time to unleash it. It was the tipping point. ..I decided I’m going to quit my job, and I’m going to take on a 1500 mile triathlon down the West coast starting in Seattle and ending in San Diego.” - Nicole Ver Kuilen

Episode Two in conversation with Nicole. We discuss what challenges she has faced, and how discrimination is in all of us. And just when you want to shake your fist and say “I want to DO something about this, what can I do?! We give you our next movement; the #ijustfeltlikerunning campaign. We have lawyered up, we’re taking on Congress for blatant discrimination.

Links to this movement and the movie of her first Triathlon and post production fact checks are in show notes.
