Total transparency: We're feminists over here at Toad. We believe in the equality of the sexes and that every woman - no matter her race, religion, age or identity - should have the opportunity to be as badass as she wants to be. We're inspired every day by female athletes and scientists who are pushing the outdoor industry to be more inclusive, and by the women who get up every day with the intention of shattering the glass ceiling. Take a look around - you're probably in the presence of greatness right now. Check out these podcasts for some daily inspiration, courtesy of five incendiary women.
