Rolling with Soft Power Health
Honored to have met Dr. Jessie Stone, founder of Soft Power Health, at the recent Whitewater Symposium. What an inspiration! Check out our conversation and learn how she committed to her true passion, engaged the likes of Emily Jackson to pitch in and helped take kayaking across social and economic lines. And she does all of this while competing as a member of the U.S. Freestyle Kayak Team!

Amazing, Joe! I can comment on your blog now! Wow! This was a great story and I had heard of much of it before but I forgot the connections. Putting it all together on video brought the memory back and Jessie is clearly an inspiration. We have seen a little of that by bringing First Descent to Wausau but this is the vision that I believe in and I know it is shared by some of our board. To harness the energy and passion of the whitewater community and put that energy into doing great things for whole communities.
Thanks for the good word, Julie. Cause-driven kayaking is a huge part of where we are headed from here. Love the way peeps are putting purpose into their paddling. Lots more to do and stories to find!
[...] Joe Jacobi gave me the first introduction to social media when he and Bob Campbell invited me to LinkedIn.

His most recent video blog with Jessie Stone from Soft Power Health is inspirational and really reflects the Joe I have grown to know so much better since we started talking through social media. Joe came to Wausau for Wausau Whitewater this summer to coach at one of our training camps and by the time he got here and we went to dinner, we had so much more common ground than we had in the days when we only met on the river when he came to compete or coach.

Thanks for the kind words, Julie! Thanks for all these tools and the way we choose to use it, we’re absolutely living in the same neighborhood now!
