  • Summary

  • There are so many things to say about this month’s guest. Jess Tuomela is a four-time Paralympian who has worked as a massage therapist and now as a dog trainer, training dogs in scent discriminate trailing. But while she’s made headlines for her athletic career and dog training, my favourite thing about Jess is the time I got to spend with her several years ago. There’s a lot of laughter in this episode. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did – and Jess, I really hope we get to meet in-person again soon!
