This is #2 in the 5th Anniversary mini-series featuring the Re-Action Collective, and focuses on sharing and ‘pay to use'. We hear from the founders of three startups enabling people to have convenient and affordable access to high-quality outdoor gear: Anna Smoothy from Cirkel Supply, Rebecca Heaps from Tentshare and Bruce Leishman from KitUp Adventures. The strapline for this episode – serving more people with less stuff – was inspired by Anna Smoothy at Cirkel Supply. I loved their aim, to serve more people with less products. and that aligns with one of my favourite phrases at the moment, about the need for businesses to do better, with much less. Sharing, including ‘pay to use' systems, is one of the 3 key circular economy strategies that I encourage businesses to focus on. Sharing can be a catch-all term for commercial arrangements that make it easy to use something for a short period, rather than owning it. These systems can help organisations to serve other organisations, to serve individuals, or for people to serve other users. For decades, we've been happy to rent houses, holiday accommodation, cars, skis and bicycles, movies and more - and now people are branching out into other categories. Rental and subscription services are popping up for technology, fashion and accessories, home appliances, furniture and more, avoiding the need to buy things you aren't sure you'll want to use over the long term. Often, these are disruptive startups using online platforms to provide convenient, flexible ways to access high-quality brands at affordable prices. Sharing is really coming to the forefront, in particular for younger people who want access to the stuff they need and see ownership as a burden, not a benefit. Global revenue growth for sharing and renting is forecast to grow at 30% each year, and is key to helping us do much more, with much less. In other words, we get more use – or productivity – from underutilised assets – meaning we need fewer of them in the overall system. This is sometimes referred to as Decoupling. (The UN defines Absolute Decoupling as “a situation in which resource productivity grows faster than economic activity (GDP) and resource use is absolutely declining.”)
Today on THE ROCK FIGHT (an outdoor podcast that aims for the head) we're taking a look at one of the founding pillars of the outdoor industry: innovation.Ever since the material, design and textile boom of the 1970's and 1980's the outdoors has been an example of how innovation could solve problems and fuel commerce.But over the past 20 years there haven't been that many innovative breakthroughs even though outdoor brands continue to tell us every season that they have the next great thing.Today on THE ROCK FIGHT Barry McGeough, who's career has been defined by leading innovation teams at brands like The North Face, PVH and Wolverine sits down with Colin to talk about the state of innovation in the outdoor industry and why we need to make more stuff, not less stuff.Head to www.rockfight.co and sign up for News From the Front, Rock Fight's weekly newsletter!Please follow and subscribe to THE ROCK FIGHT and give us a 5 star rating wherever you get your podcasts.Have a question or comment for a future mailbag episode?

Hear from my coaching student, Kimberly, a full-time working mama of two, and now clutter crusher extraordinaire and her biggest takeaways from my 1-1 Coaching Program. Her story brought me to tears (in the best of ways). As much as I LOVE all of her before and afters photo - the most life-changing benefits from decluttering can't be seen in a picture... Here's what Kim said: "The level of calm in my house is so much greater. I can do fun things with my family and not feel guilty I'm not doing chores. My stress levels are way better and honestly, this program has changed my life." Kimberly shared how working directly with me was the reason she reached her goals and had the confidence to tackle all her scary spaces. If you're struggling to achieve the results and clutter-free home you deserve, it's time to do something different. I'd love to help you inside my Inner Circle 1-1 Coaching Program.

Lloyd has been in Paris. He came back very enthused and excited by his experience there and wanted to communicate why to our listeners.“In the face of the climate emergency, a swift transition of the buildings sector is a direct requirement to achieve the goals set by the Paris Agreement”.Approximately, 1,400 people from 70 countries gathered in Paris for the Buildings and Climate Global Forum and the Declaration de Chaillot was the resultLloyd Alter, Will Arnold, and Kelly Alvarez Doran were there. The question is, what does this declaration mean? Will it actually have a real impact on the way we build, or is it just another bit of paper that will be quickly forgotten? This feels like a very positive sign because it's pulling together the usually loose strands of how we appreciate the built environment and what needs to be done to make it work better for everyone in it, as well as the environment around us.Notes from the showLloyd Alter on LinkedInKelly Alvarez Doran on LinkedInWill Arnold on LinkedInThe UNEP page on the Declaration de ChaillotThe Institution of Structural Engineers web pageThe Buildings and Climate Global Forum web page**SOME SELF-PROMOTING CALLS TO ACTION**We don't actually earn anything from this, and it's quite a lot of work, so we have to promote the day jobs.Follow us on the Zero Ambitions LinkedIn pageJeff, Alex, and Dan about websites, branding, and communications - zap@eiux.agency; Everything is User ExperienceSubscribe and advertise with Passive House Plus (UK edition here too)Check Lloyd's Substack: Carbon UpfrontJoin ACANJoin the AECB Join the IGBCCheck out Her Own Space, the renovation and retrofit platform for women (but not in a patronizing way)**END OF SELF-PROMOTING CALLS TO ACTION**

#232. We hope everyone is kicking off their holiday season in style and wonderful food. We are spending some time trying some important food from across the pond and the suppleness of the cookies is top notch. Also, is Tim Horton's importing their cream cheese? It's probably the most expensive smear one can order in a drive-thru. Time with your boy on a cold hunting trip as the weather slowly gets the best of both of you, however, is priceless. Nerd dice are about ten bucks. Also, America's Team chalked up a hard-fought win over the weekend and we do some pre-lamenting over how that game will feel in the coming years as the landscape of the NCAA football playoff changes.

Let's talk about the STUFF in your house. Did you know that the amount of “stuff” around you affects you in more ways than one? Too much stuff can make you feel stressed out, mentally and emotionally. It can even affect your physical health. Knowing that information raises the question: Is all of the “stuff” that you are hanging on to absolutely necessary? Or could letting go of some things equate to peace and more mental clarity?
Today, Juliana Ong of Stories of Play is my guest, and we talk all about the importance of play for our kids and how we can foster creative, open ended, independent play. While this is a fun, somewhat light hearted topic, it's also one where intentionality can make all the difference. I can vouch for this because after my conversation with Jules, I changed a lot about our family's play space and the way I approach and view play in our home, and I've seen so much more focused play from my girls. Jules has so much knowledge when it comes to this topic and she gives us permission to simplify things as she brings a wealth of ideas for us to implement to get started in simplifying play.

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the clutter in your life, both physical and mental? I certainly have, and that's why I decided to do my own "Year of Less Challenge" this year. Each month, I've challenged myself to do less of something in order to free up more time and space for the things that matter most to me. What started as a month-long decluttering challenge in April stretched into four transformative months of decluttering, reevaluating my possessions, and embracing an even more minimal-ish lifestyle. Like many people, my journey into minimalism began in 2015 when I stumbled upon Marie Kondo's book, "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up." Little did I know that it would be the catalyst for a major life change and a decade long journey to pursuing minimalism in every area of my life and business. Tune into this episode to learn more about my minimalist home journey, get a behind the scenes look at what it took to declutter my house from top to bottom this summer, and learn how this challenge has affected my business as a work-from-home entrepreneur!

The proliferation of tools and devices designed to be used during lactation has occurred without an accompanying body of research to support it. Parents are receiving hundreds to thousands of marketing messages for these products during pregnancy and lactation, a time when they are especially vulnerable to being influenced about making buying decisions that they are told can impact their ability to breastfeed. In fact, any tool or device designed to support lactation can have a negative impact if used improperly or without indication. Much like the "cascade of interventions" terminology used to describe how labor interventions accumulate, parents can also experience a cascade of lactation interventions. Lactation support providers in every setting need to keep up with the use and indications for these products and understand how to recognize when their use is becoming problematic so that they can educate parents prenatally and provide appropriate lactation care and referrals to a higher level of clinical lactation care or medical care as needed.Evolve Lactation with Christine Staricka IBCLC is a reader-supported publication.

Liberate your life by living less and being authentic. This episode is one of our most watched and anticipated interviews from our first Frugal Living Summit in 2021. Christine Platt also known as the ‘Afrominimalist' shares with us how choosing authenticity and living less isn't just liberating but how less IS liberation.
Our lives are filled with so much clutter. We often absorb the cultural pressure to consume more material possessions. What does scripture say about “treasures on earth?” How do we re-orient our lives to treasure the things of God and His Kingdom over our possessions? In this episode, Brett and Erin survey some key biblical passages and then lay out practical steps to eliminate the material possessions that often clutter our lives.

If you are new here, Welcome to Ordinary Sherpa. A brand designed to support families connecting through adventure based on the pillars of simplicity, authenticity, and connection. If you have been here for the last 100 episodes, thank you! The 101 episode is going to take us back to the basic of this brand and practice different ways we can support family connection through simple and authentic adventure experiences. My intention is to create content to support leading a lifestyle of family adventure fostering lifelong memories. In doing so we hope you will adopt the sherpa philosophy, to help others reach their summit through generous curiosity. Simple: Adventure is the act of getting outside your comfort zone. It's an invitation to try something new. To support this brand pillar we offer the Everyday Adventure Challenge - a 60 day approach to practicing simple adventures with your family. When we stop viewing adventure as an epic summit, we begin to look differently at your own neighborhood. We notice things such as Brown Signs which are local attractions that have been designated as points of interest. On Episode 041 | The adventure Potential of Brown Signs we dove deep into what is available at Brown Signs that can reveal new opportunities for adventure without large admission fees. While they are not always free, brown signs are like hidden gems. Simple also suggests we focus on the little things. When we make family adventures less stressful they often become more meaningfulStacking simple adventures to building blocks of an adventurous family lifestyle or big adventure experience. How can I make this easier for other families? Celebrate Adventure Wins in the Ordinary Sherpa Facebook Group: Tracey: We saw a performance by the Ho Chunk nation and learned all about their regalia. Then we up to the observation tower of the Wisconsin State Capital for a whole new view of our city! Kimberly: Snuck away for a solo ride — and got lost on the trails in a good way (there's really no way to get truly lost in the network I was in so it just added 2 miles of some gnarly, rocky hills). Kel: We had a busy day with friends at the zoo, then had a campfire and enjoyed some glow light fun on the trampoline. Jenna: Took the toddler on his first ferry ride. A small adventure, but a fun one! Hillary: We did some painting in the pouring rain with food dye! Elizabeth: We let the dinosaurs out � Dinovember is like an elf on the shelf. It makes this month so magical for our kids. The first week the Dino's take away the tv remotes and tablets!!! More outside play, play in general and family storytime/game nights. Becca: When fall turns to true winter, it takes some motivation to get two littles dressed to go outside (especially if we don't have much time), but we've been working hard to make it happen and we all feel better and refreshed afterwards. How many of these required something specific in order to have an adventure experience? Maybe a bike, glowsticks, some winter gear to be comfortable. If we focus on the experience there are actually very few THINGS we need to adventure. I don't know about you, but I am now on a mission to find some dinosaurs. How cool is dinovember? The power of this brand is in the collective experiences from the community help make adventure easier and more enticing for families. Authentic: Do what aligns with you and your interests. By building a foundation of simple adventure experiences, we no longer felt compelled to check the boxes on a bucket list. Instead we encourage doing what is meaningful and memorable for your family. The intention is less about external indicators and more internal indicators of what family thriving looks like for you. We have turned our Love of travel into an intention we call Untourism: A way to travel differently Each child has established a travel intention that fits their personality and interests. My little monster's travel goal is to taste the best ice cream in all 50 states. While I am still a sucker for a quick google search for “free things for families in ___.” Knowing what I am looking for in each location is helpful. Is it a park, or a bike trail? For us we constantly search for locals recommendations for the best ice cream. It's a great conversion and in the worst case scenario we come across someone who doesn't like ice cream (I didn't realize that was a thing). Untourism is a regular practice in empathy: Seeing things from others perspective. We joined Harvest Hosts and Boondockers Welcome because we knew what it was like to have a conversation while hanging out around a campfire or around the tailgate of a truck. (By the way if you use my link and Promo Code FRIENDS30, you get $ off before January 2, 2023) Connecting with locals who appreciate travel and RVing was a way to create community while traveling. Even for our quick weekenders now we try to find a boondocker host just because we know the experience will be unique (and much cheaper). We receive many different messages in both direct and subtle ways to inform our beliefs. Being authentic and deciding what makes sense for your family takes intention. One intentional act for me this year was to completely ignore the Black Friday - Cyber Monday noise. I am a sucker for a good deal, but our intentions are different this year. We want less things in our life. My small win was that I did not make one purchase during the “Biggest Shopping day of the season” which is a shift from my 30 year old self. Connection:Support family connection: Holidays with extended family - screens and what is stealing our attention. Vacation was for a long time my way of having uninterrupted family time when my husband and I could break away from the daily distractions and just enjoy life as a family. LifestyleThe lifestyle we have designed supports traveling often, spending time outdoors, and be intentional with waht we choose to spend our time and money on. Our approach to Less Stuff, More Experiences experiences:1. Keep it simple - more about what will happen after the gift than during 2. Purpose not price 3. Can we reuse or repurpose if nonconsumable Less Stuff, More Travel Experiences Road Trip: Harvest Hosts/ Boondockers Welcome Less Stuff, More Outdoor Experiences Less Stuff, More Backyard Adventures But what about the gift opening experience? There is something magical about the awe and surprise factor when kids open a gift. I think every parent hopes for the gasp and smile reaction. It's the magic element that makes giving so much fun. When we give experiences it can seem like we lose all of that. But it doesn't have to be that way. When I was in high school my mom discovered the pickle ornament. The pickle ornament is literally an ornament that looks like a pickle, a dark green color to match the color of the tree. The story we were told was that the child who finds the pickle ornament would receive an extra gift. As a young adult it became THE THING my brothers and I looked forward to. After the last gift was unwrapped we would charge the tree in search of the pickle ornament. Sometimes it would take over 30 minutes for someone to reign as the winner. What was funny, is we rarely cared about or remembered the prize. We remembered the experience. Stories are what is often retained in memories, not things. As I implied, turning the gift giving action into an experience can also be part of the process. Without overthinking it, here are some of the ways we have given an experience without losing the magic of their reactions. Turn the gift into an adventure. Scavenger hunts are one way - clues to have them find their gift. Most of the time this is my lazy way to present a gift. With my son's bike there was no way I was going to wrap that gift. Even if I did wrap it, the magic would all be experienced right away when he saw all of the gifts. By hiding the bike and prolonging the experience we simply added to the anticipation. When we gift travel we have wrapped smaller items to craft the story and they have to guess where we are going. Sometimes a gift includes a piece to a bigger family puzzle, like a literal puzzle that we put together that aligns with our destination. Reverse Advent Calendar. Create a paper chain as part of the gift with a count-down to our vacation. I actually recommend doing this as part of the gifting experience. We all shared something fun we could do each day leading up to the vacation that would be fun. We also might buy a small thing that can be used during the experience that they will need. The year we gifted Hawaii, the kids all got full-face snorkel masks. They were so excited about the masks we had to go swimming at our local pool to give them a try, and we had one ridiculous family picture to remember that experience gift! I try to think of unconventional items that they need over the novelty to give them a clue. Not all experiences pan out the way you imagine. One summer we were visiting my aunt and uncle in Alaska. They had a treehouse in their yard and the younger two played in it for HOURS. When we got home they wanted a treehouse and my husband and I connected that idea to our experience in Alaska. Being that my husband is hand we built a treehouse for their Christmas gift. We had attached so many memories and emotions to the tree house that when we finally had one here, it just wasn't as fun! It became comfortable and less exciting. Spending large amounts of money and time to recreate an experience is a caution I would advise you to reconsider. Not everyone attaches the same emotions to an experience. While it's fun to remember those experiences, that is different than trying to recreate it. I hope as you head into this holiday season you use this episode to help you think about using simplicity, authenticity, and connection in your gift giving and consider how might we offer less things, and more experiences to help foster connection through family adventures? Have an idea to share about turning gifts into experiences and mini adventures, come join us in the Ordinary Sherpa Facebook group to share and steal different ideas to make your family holiday into a meaningful family experience.
