Kathryn Bertine is a warrior for gender equality in the world of professional cycling. As a former pro cyclist herself, Kathryn has spent more than a decade advocating for pay equality and the inclusion of women in the Tour de France. She is also an author, journalist, and the CEO of the Homestretch Foundation, which provides free temporary housing and other support for working women (primarily professional cyclists) living or earning below the poverty line.
A few years ago, I read her book Stand: A Memoir on Activism and have wanted to get her on the podcast ever since. In this interview, Kathryn shares her remarkable story of becoming a professional cyclist later in life, advocating for equality for women, and creating the Homestretch Foundation. She also shares advice on how we can all work to make cycling more inclusive.

The Male Room with Dr. Jesse Mills
As Director of The Men’s Clinic at UCLA, Dr. Jesse Mills has spent his career helping men understand their bodies, their hormones, and their health. Now he’s bringing that expertise to The Male Room — a podcast where data-driven medicine meets common sense.

With candor, humor, and real-world experience from the exam room and the operating room, Dr. Mills breaks down the latest health headlines, dissects trends, and explains what actually works — and what doesn’t.
