Living a Badassery Life: From Swimmer to Singer/Songwriter

In her senior year at Indiana University, this badass woman was a 10 time All American swimmer breaking Big Ten records. Years later, Jenn Cristy is making records on her own. She's running an entertainment company, recording from her home studio, and performing concerts. Back at IU, she was discovered by Hoosier rocker John Mellencamp when she sang the National Anthem at an IU basketball game that he attended.  In this episode, Jenn talks about growing up in a white family, where kids in her school bullied her pretty fiercly. She gives us a glipse into her life as a musician and a swimmer, life on the road with Mellencamp, and her challenges and successes in the studio and owning an entertainment business.  http://www.jenncristy.com/
