Colleen Quigley’s life has been a series of dream jobs…. but nothing never really seemed easy for her. Coming up on the East Coast, Colleen was a shop rat who made a B-List pro snowboarding career happen. Her time as a pro shred was nothing flashy but it set her up to shine behind the scenes in the world of snow. On the podcast, we talk about her pro days, her desk jockey days, and being a woman on the office side of snowboarding. It’s the first business episode in a while and it’s a good one.
