Summary
Today we’re running the 2nd episode of our Up and Coming series, where we talk with athletes, who, if they aren’t already on your radar, they certainly should be. And our guest today perfectly matches that description.

So get ready to meet Ming...

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Blister podcast, a program dedicated to interesting people, the great outdoors, and a bunch of other stuff we like. |
| 0:08.4 | I'm Jonathan Ellsworth, the founder of Blister, and you can check out everything we're doing and reviewing over at blisterreview.com. |
| 0:18.2 | Today, we're running the second episode of our up and coming series, where we talk with |
| 0:23.9 | athletes who, if they aren't already on your radar, they certainly should be. |
| 0:29.4 | And our guest today perfectly matches that description, because aside from her very |

| 1:27.1 | place. |
| 1:27.9 | This is a fun one, and I am very pleased to share with you my conversation with Ming. |
