Operating at the Elite Level with Jess Cerra | Pro Cyclist, Elite VP at Salt Stick, Chef & Community Leader
<p>Jess Cerra is a former professional cyclist, chef, entrepreneur, and now VP of Product & Community at SaltStick — but what threads it all together isn’t titles. It’s nourishment.</p><p>In this episode, we unpack the “high performance bubble,” what happens when it bursts, and how Jess evolved (not retired) from pro cycling into building purpose-driven community. We talk female fueling, breaking the “smaller is faster” myth, building a gravel race that’s raised over $130,000 in scholarships, and why high performance is powerful — but not balanced. Jess shares what it really takes to nourish yourself long-term, how community carried her through every chapter, and why you’re allowed to feel like a beast.</p><p>This one is for the athletes, the evolvers, and anyone learning to perform without losing themselves.</p><p></p><p>#womeninsport #cyclist #podcast #business #saltstick #nutrition #fuel #tallpoppytalk </p>
