                                                      Today’s guest is Shelby Stanger, and I've been waiting over a year to interview her!

                                                      In 2016, Shelby created the Wild Ideas Worth Living podcast, which she sold to REI Co-Op just four years later and she still hosts today. In 2020 she also created another podcast about health and humor called Vitamin Joy.

                                                      And In addition to her work as a storyteller and journalist, Shelby is a longtime board member for Outdoor Outreach, a non-profit that helps empower at-risk kids in San Diego through outdoor programming like rock climbing, snowboarding and hiking.

                                                              Meet Chrystina Katz!

                                                              In 2014 Chrystina sold almost everything she owned to travel the country in a truck and camper, visiting places she had dreamed to go since she was a child.  Many called her solo traveling “crazy” and “gutsy”.  Yet she did it anyways and had a blast along the way.


                                                              With over 30 years behind her belt in corporate project manager, and 20 years of professional speaking and training, in 2019, Chrystina made another gutsy move into the world of entrepreneurship.   She now travels the world helping others be gutsy in their own lives and businesses as Founder of Act 4 Impact, where she celebrates those who are doing gutsy things as Host and Executive Producer of the Gutsy Travels show.

                                                              Here’s just a few of the things we cover during our conversation:
