TPM Episode 113: Jen Hudak, X-Games Gold Medalist, ESPN Analyst

Jen Hudak spent the better part of the past decade standing on podiums, hoping to make it to the Olympics and fighting for equality in skiing.  And while her life has transitioned to life coaching and desk work, Jen is still involved in the skiing as an ESPN analyst who als represents one of the few female voices found in the meetings and on the air at the X-Games.  We talk about the lack of women's tv coverage, how her fight can continue and her successful, injury plagued career.
