Mandy Baskin found her love for Hot Air Balloons after a disappointing date. One ride would drastically change the direction of her life. She is the founder and owner of Monticello Country Ballooning, mother of one, and is the only woman to have competed in all six years of World's Toughest Mudder -24-hourr obstacle race.   Baskin joins the podcast this week to talk about being a female Hot Air Balloon pilot and how she is one of the very few women in the industry. We chat about how one becomes a Hot Air Balloon Pilot, the process and how she went from working in the restaurant industry to becoming a pilot.   We chat about how it feels to be up in the air in one of the original forms of flying and I ask how the industry has changed in the last couple hundred years and what has remained the same. Mandy talks about the challenges as a small business owner in her industry and what it was like to first go to safety conventions being one of the only females in the room.   She chats about being a single mother and how her daughter already wants to work for her mother and currently helps out as a chaser for the balloon. We dive into her other job as a nurse and she gives advice on how NOT to do nursing school.  Finally, we round out the episode talking about her six years at World's Toughest Mudder and what she has learned from each year of racing. Baskin continues to be one of the quiet competitors each year at the race. She shares her wisdom and advice for those interested in trying World's Toughest Mudder.   How to Follow Mandy Baskin:  Website: Monticello Country Ballooning - http://virginiahotairballoon.com/ Facebook:  Monticello Country Ballooning  - https://www.facebook.com/Monticello-Country-Ballooning-149136418467531/  Instagram: @Monticellocountryballoonining - https://www.instagram.com/monticellocountryballooning/   Show Sponsored by:  Four Sigmatic - http://www.foursigmatic.com Use code: DIYS to save 10% on your order   Mistobox Coffee Club - http://mbox.coffee/Y9FA Use Code: Y9FA to save $10 on your subscription   Full Shownotes:  http://www.dirtinyourskirt.com   Join the Facebook Group:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/dirtinyourskirt/   Support the Show: www.patreon.com/dirtinyourskirt

#022 - Mandy Baskin - Hot Air Balloon Pilot & Only Woman to Have Competed in all World's Toughest Mudders

You probably have not heard of Mandy Baskin. At first glance, she is just an average 38 year old woman who happens to run a hot-air balloon company. Look closer and you will find an athletic champion. She was the 3rd place woman at least year's World's Toughest Mudder completing an impressive 6 laps. She was the only woman to do that other than Amelia Boone, and Deanna Blegg.  Then in March of this year, she won the very muddy, very wet Sunday race at the Carolina Spartan Sprint. Our 2nd interview is with Cory Mulcock and Jacob Munns of Man Games. What the heck is Man Games?! I was dying to find out as much as you were. Check out their website and listen in to find out how men AND women are going to be blown away by this insane weekend of fun and competition.
