The Backstory, formerly the High Stakes Podcast, is a new, limited series from Jarrard Inc. President and Co-Founder Anne Hancock Toomey. For nearly two decades, Jarrard – one of the nation’s top communications consulting firms for healthcare – has partnered with thousands of leaders across the country who are striving to make healthcare better every day. But this isn’t a podcast about healthcare, or politics or even communications. It’s about authentic leadership. The Backstory is about demystifying respected leaders who’ve had a lot of success along the way because of the kind of leaders they’ve chosen to be. Each person Anne interviews is visionary, of course. They’re smart as hell, and they’re fierce about their business and their mission. They’re also humble, kind and create the kind of environments in which people can thrive. They’re not perfect. But they are real. And it’s the combination of those two things that makes each one of them great. In every episode, Anne’s guest digs into who they are, where they come from and what’s influenced them to be the person and the leader that they are today.© 2024, Jarrard Inc. Política y Gobierno

    202. From Camp Counselor to Elite Athlete, Author and Entrepreneur, with Jennifer Pharr Davis
    Oct 15 2025
    From sleepaway camp to the Appalachian Trail, Jennifer Pharr Davis’s story is one of curiosity, courage and...camp. Her early desire to "keep up" rapidly transformed into a relentless drive to find her own limits, leading her to achievements few can even imagine. In this episode, Anne Hancock Toomey sits down with the former National Geographic Adventurer of the Year to talk about how lessons from the trail have shaped her life as an athlete, business owner, and leader. Jennifer’s path began in the mountains of North Carolina and led her to set the fastest known time on the Appalachian Trail—averaging 47 miles a day over 2,200 miles—and to create the Blue Ridge Hiking Company, inspiring thousands to connect with the outdoors. Along the way, she’s learned about resilience, risk-taking, and redefining leadership through self-awareness, faith, and the power of nature. “If you never fail,” her camp director told her, “you haven’t set your goals high enough.” Highlights: 2:46 – Growing Up in the North Carolina Mountains 4:18 – Lessons from Summer Camp 8:30 – First Job & Early Leadership 11:00 – First Appalachian Trail Thru-Hike 15:00 – First ‘Real Job’ & the Call of the Trail 18:00 – Founding Blue Ridge Hiking Company 22:00 – Lessons in Leadership & Longevity 23:30 – Back to the AT 31:00 – Endurance, Adversity & Teamwork 35:00 – Breaking the Record 36:00 – Advocacy & the Next Chapter 38:30 – Family, Faith & Work-Life Balance 41:00 – Leadership Lessons from the Trail 43:30 – Lightning Round Learn more about your ad choices.
