Host Kerry Gross knew she would spend the spring and summer biking to meet and interview remarkable women. What she didn't know was who she would talk to, what route she would take, or how to pay for it all. So, she spent the winter figuring it out.

Brandi Brown is founder and owner of Tahoe Production House in South Lake Tahoe. Kerry and Brandi spoke just days before Kerry left on the Women Who Dare ride. In their interview, Brandi talks about founding a business as a young woman, breaking into the film industry, and deciding to make Tahoe home.

Kerry Gross wanted more stories of inspirational women. So, she decided to spend 5 months biking 5,700 miles to find them. The Women Who Dare podcast is the result. This is its origin story. The first episode premiers March 6.
