HYS Ep. 29 - The Chance She Wound Up Taking with Jennifer Anstey

Life's path isn't always clearly set out in front of you, and as Tracey and her guest, Jennifer Anstey from the Horse Media Group, find out by delving into the divergent path Jennifer took when she joined her mother's company. That decision unknowingly set up her future career as the head of Canada's premier equine media outlets. With an obvious love of what she does, Jennifer shares her experiences of growing into the role she now occupies and how the big and small stories combined to fuel the passion she has for covering equestrian sports. Stories of celebrating Olympic wins to the controversial treatment of horses in endurance riding, and how she's hoping to keep shining a light on all areas of need in the sport. So many struggle to find a work/life balance, but Jennifer shares she has zero problems with that because she loves what she does and the context in which she gets to do it. That's not to say she takes life outside the office for granted, as her volunteerism gives her deeper roots at home in her community. And then there's mom. Taking over the reins from her late mother, Susan Jane, Jennifer has expanded on and developed a new vision for the Horse Media Group - one she thinks her mother would approve of.
