Summary
Casey Brown has one hell of a story. This bad ass mountain biker's life has been filled with twists and turns that I will not spoil in this intro. I will say that Casey had an upbringing different than anyone's that I have met in my life. Based on all that Casey shares, you would think that she would have a totally different, maybe even strange personality. I found none of that, what I did find was an amazing athlete who knows all about highs and lows. It's another incredible story.

| 0:15.0 | I'm your host, Mike Powell, and this week I head back into the bike world and talk with Casey Brown. |
| 0:22.9 | And while Casey travels around the world in search of gnarly terrain and great dirt these days, her story is one that is pretty |
| 0:28.2 | unbelievable and it's almost a miracle that things worked out this well for Casey. I'm not going to spoil |
| 0:34.1 | any of the podcast, but I will say that Casey's upbringing was harder than anyone else's that I've had on the show, |
| 0:40.4 | but it's the kind of hard where Casey didn't even realize her childhood was that crazy when she was in it. |
| 0:46.1 | And we talk about more than just her childhood on the podcast. |
| 0:49.2 | We also hit mountain biking, skiing, and more. |

| 1:23.8 | Being a professional mountain biker who's in demand all the time, do you have any time |
| 1:28.1 | to yourself or is it constantly on the road? I mean, I try and take time for myself in November. |
| 1:34.8 | That's kind of the month for most mountain bikers where we get to just like decompress. But yeah, |
| 1:40.2 | my year is pretty hectic. Like I started out the year going to Hawaii for filming Return to Earth for three weeks. |
| 1:49.0 | And then after that, I was home for two weeks. |
