My guest on today’s episode is one amazing lady, Verity Yata. You probably know her on Instagram as @crazy.asian.lady and she is a powerhouse. I don’t think I've met anyone who’s done so much, so well, against some pretty big odds. Despite the challenges she has faced in life, this sportbikegrrl is out to conquer.
Verity’s a mechanical engineer, runs her own professional photography business, is a martial arts competitor, a cancer survivor, and takes some of the greatest pics I’ve seen online with her little sidekick, her dog Stella. Oh, and she rides a Ninja.
I love her passion and drive, not to mention her outrageous sense of humor. You need to hear the full story directly from her and she’s here to share it with you.

In this week’s episode I am featuring a truly amazing woman, Leslie Reyes. Leslie is the author of the new book “The Zen of Learning to Ride a Motorcycle.“ In this very personal and intimate memoir, Leslie recounts growing up with a mother suffering from schizophrenia and the mental health issues she struggled with as a result of that trauma as a young child. Years of misdiagnoses, drug addiction and codependent relationships led to many difficult years, but she overcame it all with tremendous strength and grace.
Originally from the NY area, Leslie now resides in CA. After attempting to learn to ride and get her moto license when she was younger, she accomplished her goal at the age of 50. Even if you don't ride motorcycles, you will find her stories relatable and inspiring. You can find her new book on Amazon.

My guest today is rider and moto gear innovator Jen Burch, co-creator of Hightail Hair. This incredible product helps riders with long hair to not only stay safe while riding, but it keeps their hair tangle-free and looking fabulous once the ride is over. She has such a terrific story to share. Jen has ridden and owned motorcycles not only in the US, but in Japan and Australia as well. It was her own struggles with containing her long, fine hair that led to her creation of Hightail Hair. There may be some other similar products out there, but there is nothing like a Hightail, and we will tell you why.
