Jenny Fischer, CEO of Ocun North America, is here today for a great chat about running a business in the climbing industry, how sponsorship relationships work between climbers and brands, and her own climbing journey.  

You’ll hear about her love for the Cochise Stronghold climbing area in Arizona, her thoughts on being a Boulder local, how she found herself making the switch from medicine to running a climbing brand, and what you should understand if you are interested in becoming a sponsored climber with a brand.
