Summary
Tobin and Christen visit the iconic Women’s Sports Bar, The Sports Bra, in Portland, Oregon for a fun and informative chat with the bar’s founder, Jenny Nguyen. In this conversation, they discuss the a-ha moment for Jenny to actually go for it, some of the potential challenges that came with it and how they see establishments like hers as an important factor in impacting viewership. Plus, what got Jenny to finally “change out of her pajamas,” why her women’s sports bar isn’t just for women and where they all see the future of the bar and gal culture going next.
