Gretchen Powers brings her creative energy and realness to the show this week and we can't thank her enough.

If you tackle one accomplishment a day, you'll reach your goals before you know it.

This week on the show we have none other than Ashley Rankin, founder of SHREDLY! If you’ve seen a wild pair of women’s bike shorts on the trail, you’ve experienced the power of SHREDLY.
