In this episode of the Coaching Podcast your host, Georgina Maxwell, speaks with Jamie Greenhalgh. Jamie is a specialist, white water kayaking coach and is on the BCAB White Water Technical Group. His business, Paddle365, delivers white water skills courses throughout the year as well as leadership, coaching and safety training for Paddle UK. His approach to coaching prioritises learning through adventure and challenge, and helping paddlers to feel the joy of skilful movement in a boat.  In this episode, we discuss how good technique can be used to maintain a happy paddling body by lining up your limbs to create a system of load-sharing while paddling. This takes the pressure away from individual joints and has a side effect of making you more efficient, more powerful and more stable in the boat.

„Soll ich ein Buch schreiben?" Diese Frage höre ich von vielen Selbstständigen – ob als Idee fürs eigene Business, als Expertenstatus oder einfach, weil der Wunsch schon lange auf der To-do-Liste steht. Heute bekommst du meine ehrliche Antwort, warum ich rund 70 % meiner Hörerinnen aktuell davon abrate – und woran du erkennst, ob du zu den anderen 30 % gehörst.Bevor wir einsteigen, ein kurzer Gruß aus Griechenland: Ich bin gerade zurück von einer Wanderreise mit Stand-up-Paddling und Meerblick – und obwohl ich fest geplant hatte, dort an meinem Buch zu schreiben, habe ich den Laptop kein einziges Mal aufgeklappt. Manchmal ist auch das genau richtig.Das erfährst du in dieser Folge:Warum ein Buch in den ersten drei Jahren deiner Selbstständigkeit fast nie die richtige Priorität ist – und welche Voraussetzungen du wirklich brauchst, bevor du loslegen solltest.Warum ein Buch (auch bekannte Bücher) dir kaum direkt Geld bringt, was du realistisch pro verkauftem Buch erwarten kannst und warum „Buch zu schreiben" und „vom Buch leben" zwei sehr verschiedene Dinge sind.Für welche Business-Typen ein Buch richtig viel Sinn macht – Stichwort: Expertise unterstreichen, eigene Methode dokumentieren, neue Menschen über ein Leseprobe-Kapitel ins Business holen, Hörbuch als nächster Schritt, Newsletter-Wachstum über ein „Zusatzkapitel-Freebie".Für welche Themen ich aktiv abrate – z. B. Themen, die sich alle paar Wochen ändern (Achtung KI-Branche!) oder stark visuelle Themen wie Inneneinrichtung, bei denen Video einfach das stärkere Format ist.Ein Blick hinter die Kulissen meines eigenen Buchprojekts: Warum ich erst nach über sechs Jahren Selbstständigkeit dieses Buch schreibe, wie ich Themen ausgewählt habe, die auch in 5–10 Jahren noch tragen, und wie ich die KI-Inhalte so verpackt habe, dass das Buch evergreen bleibt.Mitmach-Aktion nur für Podcast-Hörerinnen:Es wird ein Spezial-Podcast-Hörerinnen-Kapitel in meinem Buch geben! Wenn du sagst „wenn ich mir was wünschen dürfte, dann hätte ich gerne ein Kapitel zu…", dann schreib mir das. Per Mail, Instagram-DM, WhatsApp oder direkt als Antwort in den Shownotes. Ich freue mich riesig auf dein Feedback.Außerdem aus der Folge:Ich bin wieder im Büro und nehme neue BAFA-geförderte Kundenaufträge ab August an – First-come-first-serve. Die BAFA-Förderung gibt es dieses Jahr noch, danach ist sie aktuell nicht verlängert. Wenn du sie noch mitnehmen möchtest: jetzt melden.Verlinkt in dieser Folge:Kennenlerntermin mit Anja: https://tidycal.com/grigoleit-beratung/20min Vorgängerfolge zur BAFA-Förderung (alle Infos zur Beantragung): Episode #334 – „Du lässt Geld auf der Straße liegen – und weißt es sogar!" (24.02.2026, 18 Min.) hat das Thema „Geld liegen lassen" zwar im Titel und verlinkt deinen BAFA-Beratungstermin in den Shownotes – inhaltlich geht es aber ums Umsetzen und Sichtbarsein, nicht um die BAFA-Förderung selbst.

Send us Fan MailA stranger walks up holding an old canoe book and says, “You signed this to my dad 35 years ago.” Minutes later, Kevin Callan signs it again for the next generation and the whole Hamilton Adventure Expo suddenly feels like a small world. That's where our livestream chat begins, and it sets the tone for a conversation about how canoe camping stories stick, how outdoor skills get passed along, and why community is the real reason these shows matter.We dig into Kevin's idea of “ultimate canoe routes” and why he opens his talk by saying the best trip is the next one. Then we get specific: Algonquin's Brent Run, a loop around Killarney, Lake Superior's Bustard Islands, Kejimkujik in Nova Scotia, and even Scotland's River Spey. If you're looking for canoe route inspiration, paddling trip planning ideas, or just a reminder that repeat trips can still feel brand new, this one delivers.We also go behind the scenes on outdoor writing and Canadian publishing. Kevin shares what it's like to hit 20 books, how rewarding it is when kids show up already excited about what they learned, and how printing and shipping across the Canada US border can turn sales into losses overnight. We talk honest numbers on royalties, why self-publishing can make sense, and the simple advice that matters most: write the book first.If you enjoy real talk about paddling, camping, and making a life around the outdoors, subscribe, share this with a friend who loves canoe trips, and leave a review so more Canadian campers can find the show.https://kevincallan.com/https://www.youtube.com/c/KCHappyCamperhttps://www.facebook.com/kevin.callan.311/https://www.instagram.com/kchappycamper/Support the showCONNECT WITH US AT SUPER GOOD CAMPING:Support the podcast & buy super cool SWAG: https://store.skgroupinc.com/super_good_camping/shop/homeEMAIL: hi@supergoodcamping.comWEBSITE: www.supergoodcamping.comYOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqFDJbFJyJ5Y-NHhFseENsQINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/super_good_camping/TWITTER: https://twitter.com/SuperGoodCampinFACEBOOK GROUP: https://www.facebook.com/groups/SuperGoodCamping/TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@supergoodcampingSupport the show

Born in the north west Highlands of Scotland, Will is a passionate kayaker and general outdoors enthusiast. As the operator of Kayak Summer Isles, a small sea kayaking company in his hometown of Ullapool, Will spends most of his summers sharing adventures on the Scottish west coast by sea kayak. In the winter, he has spent a decade guiding and exploring the fjords of Chilean Patagonia and more recently Antarctica. Will's coaching philosophy is to provide his guests with the skills and knowledge they need to experience meaningful adventure through their own tools, confidence and comfort. Will has a degree in Environmental Science and Outdoor Education and is passionate in sharing what he knows of the wonders of ornithology, geology, zoology and ecology on his trips. Will has enjoyed numerous personal expeditions around the world and is most known for his ‘Machair to Munro' expedition, a 364 day long epic to circumnavigate Scotland by kayak and complete a largely winter ascent of Scotland's 282 Munro mountains. For this, he was awarded both Scottish and UK National Adventurer of the Year in 2015. This was followed by a round of the 222 winter Corbett mountains in 2017. In Patagonia, Will has explored over 2000km of the Chilean fjords by kayak over a number of self-supported expeditions. Most recently, Will embarked on a 280km solo adventure through the western fjords of Norway in a fold up kayak.

Ask Mariann Sæther what got her to two world championships, and she won't say talent. Mariann is a two-time world champion in extreme kayaking, a mother of two, and one of the most accomplished women in whitewater history. She retired from competition in 2024 after nearly three decades of paddling rivers around the world. In this conversation, Mariann and Anna dig into what it actually takes to perform at the highest level, navigate real risk, and keep showing up when it's not working. From getting flipped repeatedly down Jakes at 3,000 CFS two days before winning the North Fork Championship, to learning to separate a failed line from a failed identity, Mariann brings a rare mix of honesty, humor, and hard-won insight. In this episode, you'll explore: Why grit and hard work matter more than talent, and how to stop letting the "talent story" hold you back The difference between scared and nervous, and how that distinction shapes good risk decisions Why leading the rapid changes everything for women building confidence on whitewater How to stay useful, engaged, and growth-oriented when you choose to walk a line What pioneering women in whitewater built, and why their stories deserve to be remembered Mariann's approach to breaking big goals into small pieces, from horse training to creek boating If you've ever told yourself you just don't have what it takes, this episode is a direct and generous challenge to that story.

Paddling the Chassahowitzka River feels like slipping into wild, untouched Florida. We launched in a tandem kayak with friends from our RV park and quickly found ourselves surrounded by quiet beauty—sunlit trees, birds warming their wings, and clear water winding through the springs.Then came the moment everyone hopes for: manatees. These gentle giants drifted right beneath our kayaks near the Crack, and we even saw mamas nursing their babies. With fish jumping around us and the peaceful flow of the river, it felt like kayaking through a hidden sanctuary.If you've ever wanted to paddle alongside manatees in their natural home, this river delivers pure magic—and reminds you that the best adventures happen when you slow down and let nature set the pace.We launched from the Chassahowitzka RV Park, $5 parking and $45 Tandem Kayak Rental.

Our 6-part Acadiana roadtrip concludes on a bayou bank, the waft of chicken-wing smoke, fresh sawdust and wood varnishes lingering in humid air: 2 men, 2 crafts, 1 disappearing way of life. Keith Dupuy brings ancient Louisiana pirogues and dug outs back from the brink--painstakingly restoring ancient boats that once transported hunters, trappers and families throughout Louisiana's ancient marshlands. Dale Bordelon lives these traditions in real time, using ancestral old-school methods to carve dugouts and cane calls for himself and others to ensure that the tradition remains unbroken. This conversation's not about boats; it's about bygone bayou know-how and baking cultural memory into every cypress plank, every single paddle stroke.    Visit the Legendary Brands That Make MOJO's Duck Season Somewhere Podcast Possible: MOJO Outdoors  Alberta Professional Outfitters Society Benelli Shotguns Bow and Arrow Outdoors Ducks Unlimited  Flash Back Decoys GetDucks.com Inukshuk Professional Dog Food  Migra Ammunitions onX Maps  Use code GetDucks25 to save 25% Sitka Gear SoundGear Use code GetDucks20 to save 25% Tom Beckbe USHuntList.com   Like what you heard?

Sean Jansen is a freelance writer and seasonal wilderness guide in Yellowstone National Park. He's intense, slightly awkward, and deeply committed to dancing with the more raw frequencies of human experience. I love this guy. During his off-season from guiding, he partakes in a litany of expeditions from thru-hiking the Pacific Crest Trail to his recent trip, standup paddling more than 1,000 miles down the Baja Peninsula of Mexico. Through recovery from alcoholism, he has moved into a van and spends his time flying fishing trout streams, training for ultra-marathons, and searching the coast for unsurfed waves. With a passion for wilderness and wild places, he often takes his pen and paper on trips and finds ways that the outdoor recreation activities he loves can give back to conservation and environmental areas in need.

Clay interviews Montana adventurer Norm Miller, who has undertaken truly heroic canoe and kayak journeys on great rivers of the West. When he was 35, he retraced Scottish trader Alexander Mackenzie's 1789 2,000-mile journey from Lake Athabasca to the Arctic Ocean. When he was 41, during the Bicentennial of the Lewis and Clark expedition, Norm floated from St. Louis all the way to Astoria, Oregon, leaving his modified canoe only when there was no longer anything to float, and then making his way overland with a 45-pound backpack. Both stories are amazing — a lone man threading some of the most powerful rivers on the North American continent, keeping a daily journal, taking thousands of old school photographs, affirming the geographic descriptions in the journals of Lewis and Clark and Alex Mackenzie, and meeting very interesting roadside groups and individuals.
