Tree Top Adventure! Episode #13 with Go Ape's Chelsea Rothchild
09/25/20 • 16 min
On todays episode Jordan talks with Chelsea Rothcild, the site manager for Go Ape located in Blue Jay Point County Park in North Raleigh. Go Ape is an outdoor adventure experience for the whole family. Back in the mid 2000's while traveling in Europe, the founders of Go Ape stumbled upon a network of zip line and aerial adventure courses in the UK and formed a partnership to bring the idea to the United States. Their vision sprung to life with the very first Go Ape USA course in Rockville, Maryland. Now there are 14 locations in 13 states. From rope ladders to tree top obstacle courses to zip lines, this place sounds like a blast. I personally can't wait to get out there and experience it for myself.

Redefined Courage! Episode #12 with Nikki Speer
On todays episode Jordan talks with Nikki Speer of "Redefined Courage". They are a non-profit organization committed to gifting "HOPE", which is a post-operative shirt for women undergoing breast surgery. The idea to create this garment came to Nikki after a promise she made to her mother who had undergone 3 surgeries for breast cancer. Nikki recognized the limitations an individual has after this type of surgery and began designing a shirt that would be beautiful, comfortable and functional. To date they have been able to gift over 500 shirts to women worldwide. Jordan and I were completely riveted during the recording of this episode. Her story is truly amazing and inspiring.
