Send us Fan MailWhat happens when a 33-year McKinsey career ends on Friday — and you're on an ice wall by Saturday afternoon?Tom French, author of The Gap Years: Climbing, Skiing, and the Journey Back, joins us to talk about trading his corporate corner office for crampons, summiting Everest under a full moon at 2:15 AM, and why it's never too late to reclaim the passions of your younger years.Tom's story begins with a childhood shaped by legendary mountaineer Willi Unsoeld — the first man to climb Everest's West Ridge — who literally taught Tom to climb at age eight. Decades later, after raising a family and building an elite business career, Tom didn't quietly retire. He launched a gap year that stretched into three and a half extraordinary years of ice climbing, cross-country ski marathons, and two Everest expeditions.We dig into his gripping turnaround at 26,000 feet on his first summit attempt, the remote Makalu Barun approach he took on his second, and what the emotional release at base camp — not the summit — truly taught him about achievement.If you've ever felt too busy, too old, or too settled to chase a dream, this episode is for you.Episode Links:Tom on InstagramTom's WebsiteBuy a copy of The Gap YearsThis episode was Produced by Jordyn Smith, follow her on Instagram @jordyn.journeysFollow us on Instagram, @HikesandmicsThis episode's music was created by Ketsa, follow him on Instagram @Ketsamusic AllTrails+I'm excited to share that I'm now a Trailheads Ambassador for AllTrails+!

In this episode, we discuss something that seems simple. Trees are one of the most familiar living things on Earth, but when you really stop and think about how they work, they start to feel almost impossible. We break down the science of how trees grow, what they are actually made of, and how something weighing thousands of pounds can seem to come from almost nothing. Then we dive into a sad story of good intentions gone wrong. An Englishwoman tried to save a crayfish, but somehow ended up killing it instead. It is a weird, funny, and surprisingly educational example of how good intentions in nature can sometimes go completely sideways. We also explore new science about how birds navigate across massive distances. From magnetic fields to visual landmarks to biological systems we are still trying to fully understand, bird migration is one of the most incredible examples of design.  Watch our HISTORY Channel show on:  HISTORY: https://www.history.com/shows/the-green-way-outdoors  &  WAYPOINT TV: https://waypointtv.com/watch/the-green-way-outdoors  Follow us on:  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheGreenWayOutdoors/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thegreenwayoutdoors/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/thegreenwayout?lang=en  Youtube: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCjR5r6WwXcPKK0xVldNT5_g  Website: www.thegreenwayoutdoors.com Watch our HISTORY Channel show on:HISTORYWAYPOINT TVFollow us on:FacebookInstagramTwitterYoutubeOur Website

Send us Fan MailWhat makes a hike truly unforgettable? National Geographic Explorer, Outside Magazine contributing editor, and author Stephanie Pearson joins us to find out.Her new book, 100 Hikes of a Lifetime U.S.A. (out now), was born from one of the hardest seasons of her life — and launched with a lightning storm on the Maah Daah Hey Trail in North Dakota. In this conversation, Stephanie opens up about how her mother's passing, an emergency eye surgery in Sweden, and the stillness of COVID reshaped the way she sees the trails in her own backyard.We cover it all: redefining what a "hike of a lifetime" really means, managing overcrowded trails like the Kalalau Trail in Hawaiʻi and popular trails in Sedona, why the Superior Hiking Trail is tougher than it looks, what the Selma to Montgomery Trail taught her about American history, and why the Tahoe Rim Trail might be the perfect first through-hike.Stephanie also shares her thoughts on trail volunteerism, the grief of watching glaciers disappear, hidden gems across the Midwest, and why sometimes — the best hikes don't require a passport.

On this "Best Of" edition of the show, we revisit a great conversation with Illinois Ag Director Jerry Costello. He talks with Brownfield about his roots in hunting and fishing, and why it's important to him to introduced youth to the outdoors.

In this volume of the Trails & Tribulations series on the Just Trek podcast, I welcome back Juan Flores (Outdoor Adventures+, Nature's Palette, Urban Youth Nature Project) as he recounts first attempt of big bad, Iron Mountain in the San Gabriel Mountains near Bridge to Nowhere in December 2021. Starting at midnight on a 16 mile out-and-back, Juan and his friend encounter mountain lion chirps ahead and behind around 2AM while two women in their group push far ahead. After reaching the summit around 7AM, the brutal descent turns dangerous: Juan is left behind, runs out of water after starting with two liters, becomes lost on a false trail without a map, and collapses exhausted with miles remaining until a stranger with a dog finds him. It took 16 grueling hours for him to complete this trek and he shares key lessons on carrying more water, downloading maps, not relying on guides, and staying over-prepared.Have you ever experienced a survival moment or learned a tough lesson on the trail? Maybe you got lost, faced sudden weather, encountered wildlife, or found yourself pushed to your limits in ways you didn't expect. Trails & Tribulations is the space where those stories come to life, inspiring and connecting the outdoor community.

In this episode, we break down the real situation behind Michigan's deer policies. The buck to doe ratio problem. The drop in harvest numbers. The science being used to justify new rules. And the growing frustration from hunters who feel like things just aren't adding up. Should Michigan move to a one buck rule for deer hunting? We break down one of the biggest debates in Michigan deer management right now. The conversation covers the Lower Peninsula specifically and digs into the real issues hunters keep bringing up, including buck to doe ratio concerns, antler point restrictions, the bait ban, harvest numbers, hunter satisfaction, disease concerns, and whether Michigan is actually creating better deer management or just adding more restrictions. We talk through the major sides of the argument. Some hunters believe a one buck rule would help create more selective harvest and improve the age structure of bucks. Others believe an earn a buck system would make more sense by requiring doe harvest before buck harvest, which could more directly address the imbalance between bucks and does. We also get into the argument over APRs, how they work in Michigan now, and whether they truly help improve buck quality or simply protect deer with poor antler traits that should not stay in the breeding pool. We also dives into the controversy around the Lower Peninsula bait ban and the belief that reduced harvest numbers may actually be making Michigan's deer issues worse instead of better. Kyle explains why he believes any serious deer management plan has to stay consistent with the science being used to justify it. If the concern is disease spread and overpopulation, then the state has to look honestly at whether current rules are helping hunters remove enough deer from the landscape. Along the way, we talk about hunting ethics, managing wounded or genetically poor deer in the field, how different Michigan regions should be treated differently, why hunter input matters, and why accurate deer reporting is critical if the DNR and hunters are ever going to get on the same page. This is a real conversation about conservation, deer management, hunting culture, regulations, and what the future of Michigan deer season should actually look like. If you care about Michigan deer hunting, whitetail management, the DNR, APRs, the bait ban, doe harvest, trophy buck potential, wildlife policy, or the future of hunting in the Midwest, this is a conversation worth hearing. Watch the full podcast and join the conversation in the comments. What makes the most sense for Michigan: one buck rule, earn a buck, APR changes, bringing back baiting, or a totally different solution? #MichiganDeerHunting #OneBuckRule #WhitetailDeer #DeerManagement #MichiganDNR #APR #BaitBan #BuckToDoeRatio #EarnABuck #WhitetailHunting #DeerSeason #HuntingPodcast #Conservation #WildlifeManagement #TheGreenWayOutdoors Watch our HISTORY Channel show on:HISTORYWAYPOINT TVFollow us on:FacebookInstagramTwitterYoutubeOur Website

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when a cancer diagnosis becomes the spark that launches a full-time outdoor adventure career? This week on Hikes and Mics, I sit down with Alec — travel writer, photographer, and the force behind Explore with Alec, for one of the most honest and inspiring conversations we've had on the show. Alec is a two-time cancer survivor and bone marrow transplant recipient whose brush with mortality completely redefined his relationship with the outdoors. From hiking across the Grand Canyon mid-radiation to summiting Mount Whitney on a whim, he turned adversity into a life built around adventure.In this episode, we talk about his first post-treatment backpacking trip with his dad in Sedona, why the hardest places to reach are often the most worth protecting, and what it's really like to build a business around the outdoors — late nights, protein bar dinners, and the Enumclaw Taco Bell included.Alec also takes us inside his most unforgettable wildlife encounters — from coastal brown bears in Alaska to mountain gorillas in Rwanda's Volcanoes National Park — and shares the networking tip that changed how he lands major clients like National Geographic Travel.Plus — we break down the biggest barriers keeping people out of nature and what creators like Alec are doing to close that gap.

Mark Peterson grew up on a fifth-generation fruit farm in Michigan, managed five processing facilities and a thousand employees by age 22, and then walked away from all of it to chase pheasants. What followed was one of the more unlikely success stories in the outdoor industry. In this conversation, Mark traces his path from farm kid to acquiring Cabela's Outdoor Adventure and Tag Service to building Worldwide Trophy Adventures into the largest hunting booking agency in the world, with outfitters in every corner of the globe and owned operations across Canada, Colorado, Kentucky and Mexico. But the conversation goes well beyond booking hunts. Mark talks about why private landowners are among the most underappreciated conservation partners in North America, how upland bird habitat is the first thing lost when land use changes, and what it actually takes to build a long-term lease relationship with a landowner that works for both sides. He also covers where the hunting industry is headed over the next five years, why access is tightening and costs are climbing, and what COVID quietly did to hunting participation numbers that nobody is talking about. For landowners who lease hunting rights, land agents who work with recreational properties, and anyone who has ever thought about turning their land into a hunting destination, this one covers the full picture.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Unlocking Secrets: A Mystical Hike Through Bükk Nemzeti Park Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2026-04-23-22-34-01-hu Story Transcript:Hu: Bükk Nemzeti Park tavasszal mindig lenyűgöző látvány.En: The Bükk Nemzeti Park in spring is always an astonishing sight.Hu: A vadvirágok tarkítják a zöldellő réteket, és a patakok csobogó hangja megtöri az erdő csendjét.En: The wildflowers color the green meadows, and the sound of babbling streams breaks the silence of the forest.Hu: Ez az év különösen különleges volt, hiszen Húsvét hétfőjén gyűltek össze Ákos, Rebeka és László, hogy együtt túrázzanak és kempingezzenek.En: This year was particularly special since Húsvét hétfőjén Ákos, Rebeka, and László gathered to hike and camp together.Hu: Ákos vezetett előre, hátán túrazsák, fejében régi családi történetek.En: Ákos led the way, a backpack on his back, his head full of old family stories.Hu: Egy ősi örökségről meséltek neki, amit itt rejtett el valaki a múltban.En: He was told about an ancient legacy hidden here by someone in the past.Hu: Senki sem tudta, mi lehet az, csak hogy egy átok védi.En: No one knew what it might be, only that it was protected by a curse.Hu: Rebeka és László vidáman követték Ákost, nem sejtve, hogy ő valójában egy titkos küldetést teljesít.En: Rebeka and László followed Ákos cheerfully, unaware that he was actually on a secret mission.Hu: Ákos tudta, hogy eljött az idő, és a családi örökséget meg kell találnia.En: Ákos knew the time had come, and he had to find the family legacy.Hu: Ahogy mélyebbre hatoltak az erdőben, a fák egyre zordabbak lettek.En: As they delved deeper into the forest, the trees became more imposing.Hu: Ákos elérkezettnek látta az időt, hogy döntsön.En: Ákos saw it was time to decide.Hu: Segítséget kér, vagy egyedül folytatja?En: Would he ask for help or continue alone?Hu: Barátainak mesélt az örökségről és az átokról.En: He told his friends about the legacy and the curse.Hu: Rebeka és László azonnal felajánlották segítségüket.En: Rebeka and László immediately offered their assistance.Hu: Később, az egyik sziklás részen, Ákos ősi faragványokat pillantott meg.En: Later, in a rocky area, Ákos spotted ancient carvings.Hu: Mintha utat mutatnának a rejtett kincshez.En: It was as if they were pointing the way to the hidden treasure.Hu: De ekkor hirtelen a föld megremegett, és egy földcsuszamlás sodorta el a nyomokat.En: But then suddenly the ground shook, and a landslide swept away the tracks.Hu: Ákos megriadt, de Rebeka kiáltása visszarántotta a valóságba.En: Ákos was frightened, but Rebeka's shout brought him back to reality.Hu: "Gyere gyorsan!En: "Come quickly!"Hu: " – kiáltotta Rebeka, miközben László segített neki felállni.En: Rebeka shouted as László helped her to her feet.Hu: Együtt menekültek meg az omlás elől.En: Together, they escaped the landslide.Hu: A földcsuszamlás új ösvényt nyitott, ahol korábban csak szikla volt.En: The landslide opened a new path where there was only rock before.Hu: Ahogy követték az új utat, egy kis tisztásra jutottak.En: As they followed the new trail, they reached a small clearing.Hu: A nap fénye egy régi faládát világított meg.En: The sunlight illuminated an old wooden chest.Hu: Ákos kezébe vette a ládát és kinyitotta.En: Ákos took the chest in hand and opened it.Hu: Benne egy régi családi pecsét és egy levél kapott helyet.En: Inside was an old family seal and a letter.Hu: Az örökség megvolt.En: The legacy was found.Hu: Ákos hálásan nézett barátaira.En: Ákos looked gratefully at his friends.Hu: Megértette, hogy együtt sikerült megoldani a rejtélyt.En: He understood that together they managed to solve the mystery.Hu: A valódi kincs a barátságuk volt, amely segített nekik túljutni minden akadályon.En: The true treasure was their friendship, which helped them overcome every obstacle.Hu: A csapat mosolyogva nézett egymásra, tudva, hogy még sok közös kaland vár rájuk a mesés erdő mélyén.En: The team smiled at each other, knowing that many more adventures awaited them in the depths of the enchanting forest.Hu: Az ősi átok pedig a múlté lett.En: The ancient curse became a thing of the past.

Podcast 169 of The Green Way Outdoors starts on a sweet note as Jeff brings in homemade Malva Pudding made from his South African recipe, a rich dessert known for its soft texture, warm caramel flavor, and deep roots in South African cooking. From there, the crew jumps into a wild taste test featuring rainbow wire, a strange and colorful Canadian candy, before finishing things off with classic meringue cookies, the light, airy dessert made from whipped egg whites and sugar. Along the way, Kyle shares his thoughts on food allergies and what might really be going on behind the growing number of people dealing with them. The conversation takes a hard turn into mystery, history, and big questions. Ryan brings up archaeological discoveries and artifacts that seem out of place or out of time, opening the door to a discussion about ancient technology, unexplained objects, and the mysteries that continue to challenge mainstream timelines. Kyle also breaks down lessons he learned from Kent Hovind and others on Noah's Flood, flood geology, fossil formation, and the debate surrounding biblical evidence, sediment layers, and catastrophic events in Earth's past. The team also reflects on a powerful Easter Sunday sermon that explored the science, historical evidence, and proof surrounding Jesus, faith, and the resurrection. On top of that, the crew tackles the question of what fossil fuels really are, including oil, coal, and natural gas, and how they are believed to form from ancient organic matter deep within the Earth. They also react to a shocking new penalty for scammers in Singapore, discuss sunken treasure and who has the legal right to claim it, and bring their usual mix of humor, curiosity, debate, and real conversation to every topic. From desserts and candy to archaeology, Christianity, Noah's Flood, fossil fuels, treasure law, and world news, this episode covers a little bit of everything.

On this episode of Outdoor Adventures, Brownfield's Brent Barnett sits down with Sam Seeton, the founder of Infinite Outdoors. The platform is often described as the “Airbnb for hunting and outdoor recreation,” helping farmers and landowners generate new income from their property while maintaining control over how it's used. Seeton explains how the app allows landowners to offer short-term access leases for hunting, fishing, and outdoor recreation, often generating 2–5 times more revenue than traditional land leases. The system also allows farmers to set their own rules, pricing, and availability while staying as hands-on—or hands-off—as they want. Another unique aspect of the program is its conservation-driven approach. Every property is supported by wildlife biologists who help ensure sustainable harvest levels and healthy wildlife populations.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On this episode of The Green Way Outdoors podcast Kyle Green, Ryan Parks and AJ Beadle discuss The Darién Gap. A dangerous, roadless jungle spanning the Colombia-Panama border, acting as the sole overland link between South and Central America, and has become a perilous route for migrants seeking to reach North America, filled with natural hazards like rivers and wildlife, alongside human threats from traffickers, smugglers, and violence, with hundreds of thousands undertaking the trek annually despite extreme risks, including death, disease, and exploitation. Then they dive in to the Florida Everglades, where researchers are using "robo-bunnies", solar-powered robotic rabbits, to lure and trap invasive Burmese pythons, which have devastated native mammal populations. These modified toy bunnies mimic real marsh rabbits with heat, movement, and soon scent, attracting pythons to strategically placed pens, triggering alerts for contractors to remove the snakes. It's a high-tech, ongoing trial by the University of Florida and South Florida Water Management District to combat the elusive pythons that are nearly impossible to find otherwise. Lastly, a large coalition of scientists, tribal nations, and environmental groups strongly advocates for removing the four lower Snake River dams (Ice Harbor, Little Goose, Lower Monumental, Lower Granite) because they are seen as a major obstacle to salmon recovery, making populations vulnerable to extinction, despite the dams providing benefits like power, irrigation, and barge transport, which would need replacing. Federal agencies, including NOAA Fisheries, have concluded that breaching is essential for salmon survival, especially with climate change making reservoirs warmer, while proponents argue it's the single best way to restore vital salmon runs to Idaho and beyond. On the other hand, the economic Impact of dam removal would be terrible and end efficient barge transport for wheat and irrigation for 400,000 acres, increasing costs for farmers. There is also no true way to transport that wheat for export if the dams were removed. The dams also generate significant clean energy, which would need replacing. Some also argue climate change, hatchery issues, and predation are also major threats, and dam removal isn't a guaranteed fix.

In this podcast, the guys dive into one of the most interesting wildlife management stories in recent memory, Colorado's new bison classification and lottery system, along with what it could mean for the future of conservation. They talk about how Colorado's new method of managing the Bison is a great example of how other states should approach controlling animal populations, and they get into the nitty gritty of how specific states, like Michigan, have completely failed in this category.

Sarah's outdoor adventures never stop, and this time she ended up in a ski parade! While Susie has resorted to wearing heated apparel inside. Susie shares the story of Andrea Yates, the woman who killed her five children, and the religious beliefs that made her think she should. Susie is worked up about how grandparents now insist on being called all kinds of weird names and Sarah's got a theory about why they don't want to be called "grandma." We discuss the abundance of "service" dogs on planes and the reasons people bend the rules to get their dog on board, and why it's the airlines's fault. And we hear about two babies who were switched at birth and it wasn't discovered until they were two years old, and the moms had to decide whether to switch them back or not! The story is unbelievable, and no matter what, there is no right answer to how to handle it.00:00 - Sarah's Ski Parade and Susie's Heated Apparel17:51 - Unpacking the Horrific Andrea Yates Child Drowning Case23:13 - Examining the Extreme Religious Cult Behind Andrea Yates30:30 - How Religious Ideology Scaffolds Mental Illness43:11 - Why Grandparents Resist Being Called 'Grandma'52:17 - The Airline's Fault for Fake Service Dogs01:01:34 - The Impossible Choice in a Switched at Birth Case01:11:39 - Support the Podcast: Patreon, Reviews, and SponsorsBrain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:Begin your personalized roadmap to sexual happiness with Beducated by taking the quiz at https://beducate.me/pd2602-braincandySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

#203 - What if the scary dream is the one that sets you free? That's the spark behind our conversation with singer-songwriter and outdoor enthusiast Emily Hicks—a Midwesterner who found her artistic voice in the shadow of Utah's mountains and the flow of the Green River. Emily traces her path from a shy choir kid to a piano major, from elementary music teacher to full-time performer, and the many small, brave asks that turned busking into real gigs and a steady career. Along the way we dig into how three chords taught her to keep going, why stage banter is a craft of its own, and how long bar sets can train a voice like any other muscle.We also explore the places where art and nature meet. Emily shares how trails give her mind room to breathe, how campfires invite honesty, and why her next EP leans on outdoor metaphors—switchbacks, weather windows, and the grind to the summit. Nashville shows up as a sharpening stone: songwriter rounds, co-writing sessions, and the hard decision to keep her best songs for herself. Her niche keeps revealing itself in unexpected places, like a women's yoga and music rafting trip where she played a carbon fiber guitar on the river and watched strangers become community under the stars.Threaded through it all is resilience. Emily talks frankly about rejection, the importance of choosing rooms that fit, and the trust it takes—for yourself, from partners and friends—to keep moving toward the work that lights you up. If you're craving a boost of courage, a reminder to step outside, and a soundtrack to match, you'll feel at home here.

Welcome to episode 539 of the Outdoor Adventure Lifestyle Podcast. Today, on this replay episode, I'm talking with Casey Hanisko. Casey is a distinguished leader in adventure travel. She's the former President of the Adventure Travel Trade Association and an executive coach helping tourism leaders navigate change. Recognized among the "50 Most Important Women in Travel," she shares her expertise through media, speaking engagements, and her "Leading Naturally" newsletter. Show Notes Casey Hanisko Linkedin Guest Focus Instagram Adventure Travel Trade Association The Leap That Terrified Me More Than Any Business Decision (And What It Taught Me About Leadership) Ever stood at the edge of something terrifying—knowing the only way forward is to leap, but every cell in your body is screaming, Nope? That was me on a canyon swing in Interlaken. Spoiler: I needed a push. You think making high-stakes decisions in business is tough? Try standing on the edge of a 300-foot drop, debating whether plummeting into the abyss is a good idea. There's a moment in adventure—and in leadership—where hesitation creeps in. Your palms sweat. Your mind races. And sometimes, you need someone to give you that push. What Happened: I'd like to think I'm pretty fearless. I've hiked, biked, and paddled my way through some of the world's most stunning (and challenging) landscapes. But nothing—not rock climbing, not waterfall jumping, not even running a business—prepared me for the sheer terror of standing on the edge of a canyon swing in Interlaken. Picture this: I'm perched on the platform, strapped in, heart pounding. My entire executive team—yes, the people I work with—are watching. The guy running the swing looks at me and asks, "Need a push?" ABSOLUTELY NOT! I sit there for two full minutes, locked in a battle with my own fear. Every rational thought in my brain says, Just do it. But my body? Oh, my body says, Are you out of your mind?! Then, the guy places a hand on my back. Just enough pressure to remind me: I either take the leap myself, or I'm going anyway. And that was it. I went. Terrified. Screaming. And, once I hit the swing… laughing. Principle: That moment on the canyon swing? It's leadership in a nutshell. Leadership requires courage. Sometimes, you're at the edge of a big decision, knowing you need to move—but fear holds you back. Sometimes, you need support. That guiding hand (or well-placed nudge) from someone who sees your potential, even when you doubt yourself. And often, the thing you dread most? Turns out to be the most exhilarating experience of your life. Whether it's taking the leap into a leadership role, starting that business, or stepping into unknown territory—you're going to feel fear. That's normal. The key is to recognize it, hold it, and move forward anyway. Transition: The problem is, most people let fear stop them. They overthink. They hesitate. They tell themselves they need more time, more preparation, more certainty. But here's the truth: the perfect moment? It doesn't exist. Too many outdoor entrepreneurs and leaders stall out waiting for the "right time" to make their next move—whether that's scaling a business, stepping into leadership, or launching that dream trip. That's Why: That's why, in this episode of The Outdoor Adventure Lifestyle Podcast, I sat down with Casey Esco—executive coach, adventure leader, and all-around expert on navigating uncertainty in business and the outdoors. She shares exactly how adventure can teach us to embrace risk, push through hesitation, and build the courage to lead (even when you're scared out of your mind). Call to Action: If fear has ever held you back from making a move—whether in your career, your business, or even your next adventure—you need to hear this episode. Because courage isn't about being fearless, it's about taking the leap anyway. #Outdoor Adventure, #Podcast, #Adventure Travel, #Leadership, #Coaching, #Outdoor Activities, #Nature, #Curiosity, #Camping, #Hiking, #Strategic Planning, #Storytelling, #Diversity, #Women Leaders, #Inclusivity, #Nature Inspired Coaching, #Outdoor Brands, #Business Strategy, #Personal Growth, #Passion, #Wellness, #Travel Experiences, #Adventure Community, #Outdoor Lifestyle, #Networking, #Conservation, #Adventure Stories
