MIND YO' LIFE - The Life of Managing Athletics, Music, and Community Engagement

In this premiere episode of Mind Yo' Life, we sit down with the multifaceted Jenn Cristy—a former Indiana University swimming champion turned dynamic musician, and now a powerhouse in the world of business and community.   Jenn's athletic prowess earned her five Big Ten titles, including three in the 50-yard freestyle, and a spot in the IU Athletics Hall of Fame. She later transitioned into music, touring as a backing vocalist and instrumentalist with John Mellencamp and eventually dazzling audiences with her electrifying Tina Turner tribute, Simply the Best.   But Jenn's story doesn't stop at the stage. We dive into her newest chapter as the Marketing Manager at Morgenstern's Books—Bloomington's beloved independent bookstore. There, she's made her mark by revitalizing community engagement and helping the store grow its footprint as a cultural hub.   All while juggling life as a dedicated wife, mother, traveling artist, and now a business leader, Jenn talks candidly about balance, ambition, and how she keeps the passion alive in everything she does.   Join us for a coffee shop-style conversation that's equal parts inspiring, funny, and real. Whether you're a fan of sports, music, indie bookstores, or just powerful stories of reinvention—you're in for a treat.   Podcast Studio Sponsor Podcast Sponsor   Podcast Sponsor JF WALKER INVESTMENTS
