Episode 4: Jon and Jess Glassberg
The Glassbergs are no strangers to juggling chaos. Between running a production company (Louder than 11), raising two-year-old twin girls, and traveling the world to capture some of the most impressive climbing of our time, their lives are full to the brim. Which is exactly why we thought they’d be a great fit for this series. In this episode, Jon and Jess talk about parenthood, the projects they’re working on, Jess’ crash course intro to climbing, Jon’s own climbing journey, and how Jess brings her PhD into her work today, among many other topics! Since recording, their feature-length film Girl Climber, featuring Emily Harrington’s groundbreaking, in-a-day, free ascent of the Golden Gate route on El Capitan has been released, and we highly recommend it if you haven’t seen it yet. This episode also shines a light on how mentorship can look different within a partnership, highlighting the ways couples can mentor and support each other across all areas of life.
