Before I get into this week's conversation, I want to explain what happens when you subscribe to the Crude magazine

Patreon. With your help, I'm able to spend more and more time finding and researching podcast

guests. The research is important because it allows me to come to each

conversation prepared with knowledge of my guests as well as an understanding of what

they do. Eventually it would be great to travel for conversations that couldn't happen otherwise.

With your help I'm also able to pay podcast production expenses which includes the software and the hardware, needed to record and edit each episode.

So if you enjoy these conversations, you can subscribe at

www. Patreon dot com slash crude magazine that's patreon

slash com dot magazine and pick the subscription tier that works for you.

Okay, on to this week's episode. In this one I have a conversation with professional snowboarder and Olympian Rosie Man Carey.

Rosie began snowboarding at Alieesca Resort in Gerdwood, Alaska at three years old.

At 15, she was competing in local competitions and at 17 she moved out of

state to begin training full-time. Her sport is Border Cross, probably the

closest discipline in snowboarding to a contact sport. Probably the at high speeds. As you might imagine, the accidental and also purposeful, shove, or bump into is not uncommon.

Okay, time to give the crude company men a shout out.

Rosie tore both of her Achilles tendons during practice at the Winter Olympics in

Piong Chang South Korea. Three infections and eight surgeries later brings us to where she is now.
