The Martial Artist: Jennifer Cassetta
Jenn Cassetta is a total badass (and has written a book, The Art of Badassery) to help you be one as well. A life changing experience on 9/11 helped her find her purpose through martial arts (she’s a third-degree black belt!), self defense coaching, and supporting people to use the teaching of the dojo to be their best selves. Don’t miss this knockout conversation!

Customer Reviews
The push I needed!
Just listened to my first two Quit Your Day Job podcasts and I loved them! The Writer with Bianca Bosker and The Author with Pamela Redmond gave me the push I needed to start writing again. It is never too late! Thank you!! Can’t wait to read My What If Year!
Inspiring and insightful
I’m loving this podcast. When you combine interesting and inspiring guests with Alisha’s insightful and thought provoking questions, the result is this can’t-get-enough podcast that has become a weekly staple.
I want to be best friends with this host
She’s warm and hilarious and asks great questions. LOVE.
