I think you will agree with me that my guest today is really an incredible Individual. Lisa Lindahl is the inventor of the sports bra, or as it was known back then, the Jogbra. Her invention has changed the world of women’s sports forever, earning her a place in the Smithsonian and in the National Inventors Hall of Fame in Washington alongside legendary inventors like Thomas Edison. She’s also an author, a champion of epilepsy education and empowerment, and the inventor of a device for people recovering from breast cancer. Follow me on Instagram: @therosspalmer
