    S08 E05: Ashley Faus on how kiteboarding is just intentional waterboarding (and she loves it)

    By day, Ashley Faus is the Head of Lifecycle Marketing Portfolio at Atlassian. By night (and weekend), she's a kiteboarder, musical theater performer, and survivor of some truly epic wardrobe malfunctions. In this episode of Punch Out with Katie and Kerry, we talk with Ashley about the steep learning curve of kiteboarding, why "punching out" is a life-saving skill on the water, and her "almost" Broadway career that led her to the world of marketing. In this episode we learned: What a "dry hair session" is in kiteboarding and why it's the ultimate status symbol (or a sign of being too safe). Why kiteboarding is essentially intentional waterboarding for the first few months of learning. The "Show Must Go On" reality of having a 7-foot zipper fail in the middle of a musical theater performance. How to handle a "loose bustle" on stage when it starts looking like a dead animal following you around. Why Ashley prefers a "changing poncho" (a cross between a nun's habit and a muumuu) as the ultimate beach-adjacent compromise. Want to know more about Ashley?

    S08 E04: Brian Piper on 3,000 skydives, four Elvises at his wedding, and zero regrets

    Brian Piper is an author, keynote speaker, and the Director of Content Strategy and Assessment at the University of Rochester. But he's also a man who's spent decades jumping out of perfectly good airplanes. In this episode of Punch Out with Katie and Kerry, we talk with Brian about his 3,000+ skydive career, the terrifying reality of "proximity flying," and why his first wedding involved a formation of four Elvis impersonators in freefall. In this episode we learned: Why Brian originally said "absolutely not" to jumping out of planes until the Army offered him an extra $100 a month in hazard pay. The difference between round and square parachutes (and why one feels like hitting a wall while the other lets you stand up). What it's like to have a "Liza Minnelli" moment (a student panicking) while strapped to someone in a tandem jump. The reality of "proximity flying" and why Brian draws the line at a 25% mortality rate. Why tandem jumps are the ultimate bonding experience—and why the small talk inside the plane is the most awkward part. The story of the "Flying Elvises" at Brian's first wedding.

    S08 E03: Kristin Sundin Brandt owns 7 bikes. Falling off them is the whole point.

    By day, Kristin Sundin Brandt is the President and Owner of Sundin Marketing, a communications pro, and a working mom. But on the trails and roads of New England, she's an amateur athlete with a collection of seven (and counting) bicycles. In this episode of Punch Out with Katie and Kerry, we talk with Kristin about her love of mountain biking, the "no-pedal" bike mystery, and why she firmly believes that falling off your bike is the best way to keep your mind flexible as you get older. In this episode we learned: Why Kristin owns seven different bikes and how each one serves a unique purpose (from gravel to fat-tire winter riding). The mystery of the "pedal-less" bike and why high-end bikes often come without them. What Zwift is and how it turns a sweaty indoor bike session into a massive multiplayer video game. Why padded shorts are a cyclist's best friend—and why you should never wear underwear beneath them. The philosophy of the "intentional crash" to stay "bendy" and resilient as you age. Why tandem bikes are known as "divorce machines" (and why Kristin steered clear after one try). Want to know more about Kristin?

    S08 E02: By day, Liz Kit the marketing manager. By night: Leeza the belly dancer!

    By day, Liz Kit is a senior marketing and communications manager in the corporate software world. But when the work day ends, she steps into the spotlight as "Leeza," a professional belly dancer. In this episode of Punch Out with Katie and Kerry, we explore how Liz's childhood fascination with Middle Eastern cultures — inspired by her father's career — blossomed into a lifelong passion for dance. We discuss the unexpected parallels between performing in a crowded restaurant and navigating a high-stakes executive meeting, and why you should never run your silk veil through a customer's hummus. In this episode we learned: Why Liz performs under the name Leeza (and the cultural etiquette behind choosing a stage name). The reality of being a professional belly dancer, from performing at baby showers to Greek restaurants. How belly dancing builds "confidence under scrutiny," a skill that is surprisingly useful when presenting to top executives. The "Rule of Two" for beginners: 1. Have fun, and 2. Don't fall down. Why spatial awareness (and depth perception) is the difference between a graceful performance and accidentally kicking a toddler. Want to know more about Liz?

    S08 E01: Louise Brogan on hunting 6,000-year-old stones — and why the cows are the real danger

    Some people use rocks to level a wobbly table, but Louise Brogan uses them to travel back in time. In this episode of Punch Out with Katie and Kerry, we talk with Louise Brogan about her passion for megalithic standing stones, portal tombs, and dolmens. From trekking through muddy farmers' fields in Northern Ireland to dodging curious "Gen Z" cows, Louise shares how she turned a curiosity about 6,000-year-old structures into a dedicated hobby and a budding YouTube channel. In this episode we learned: The difference between monolithic and megalithic stones (and why 4,000-year-old "clocks" are so fascinating). Why Louise carries a yellow waterproof jacket and wears specific "wellie-adjacent" shoes for her adventures. The terrifying reality of cow-dodging while trying to film ancient burial grounds on private farmland. Why Newgrange is the ultimate "starter stone" for anyone looking to get into megalithic tourism.
