Oh my gosh, I had too much fun with this one...I can’t help it, when I meet someone who gets as fired up as I do to talk about OTHER cool women, and she tells great stories, and then you throw some snowmobiling into the mix, I basically lose my sh*t.My guest today is Debi Gould, the brains and energy and branding genius behind Outdoor Women.Debi seems hell-bent on avoiding the spotlight, but her own story is fascinating - she’s part of a long family legacy of guides, sporting camp owners, sportsmen AND women. And since 2019, she’s been the committed brand builder and creator of OutdoorWomen.online. Outdoor Women curates stories of - wait for it - outdoor women from across the country, and crafts creative collaborations with large national brands that directly benefit women wanting to get outdoors, while also supporting local, mostly rural small businesses.As we talk about in this interview, one of the inspirations for Debi when she was creating Outdoor Women was her mom, who enjoyed nothing more than bringing people together around the dining room table after a long day outdoors, to share stories and tall tales, and to pump each other up and create a supportive environment for everyone, from beginners and weekend warriors to professional guides.We do some goofing around about our 'Judy Camuso Fan Club', but what really links us is our shared awe and appreciation for women getting at it in the outdoors, and our desire to amplify those voices and promote those stories in any way we can.I hope you’ll join me in becoming a member of Outdoor Women if you can, and follow Outdoor Women on their website. Whether you decide to become a member or not, you can see all kinds of beautiful imagery and features from the OW staff and ambassadors on Instagram and Facebook as well.And who knows, maybe some of you wild guide types will decide to send in your own stories and pictures and be the next superstar outdoorswoman that Debi’s team features, and then I can look forward to meeting YOU when you’re leading the next 'Brap and Snap' or 'Power and Paddle'!A few more links from my conversation with Debi:Wilson Pond Cabins (Greenville, ME)Spencer Pond Camps (Moosehead Lake Region)DSG ApparelLeave No Trace Awareness Workshop with Nancy Zane (June 6th)And don't forget to RSVP today for our upcoming live Q & A event on Zoom - 'So You Think You Want to be a Guide?' - April 29th, 7pm Eastern - we've got a fantastic panel of new guides on the hook to spill the tea (sorry, mom of a middle schooler over here) about what it's like becoming a guide, taking a licensing exam, bringing your first group out onto the trail or  water... anything you're curious about is fair game during this live question and answer session! Hope to see you then!

“It’s hard to be what you can’t see.” That’s the idea that has inspired Sabrina Pace-Humphrey's to make a change in the trail running community. As a child, you had dreams and goals based on the people you saw, but if none of them looked like you, it was hard to imagine yourself doing it. Young black runners haven’t had enough idols to look to, and in the trail running community? They’ve been nonexistent. That doesn’t mean there aren’t any black trail runners, but they are almost never in the public eye. That is, until Sabrina took over the cover of the most recent Runner’s World magazine issue. Sabrina shared her excitement for trails, work on diversity expansion, and running tips with us. You won’t want to miss it! You Need More Than Just Shoes to Run We often celebrate running as the simplest, most inclusive sport. “All you need is a pair of shoes!” While that may be the only gear you need (though even that can be debated!), a running community is also crucial to supporting runners of all types. Without races to participate in, groups to run with, coaches that encourage and teach us, running wouldn’t be what it is today. For the minorities in running, the need for more than shoes is even more imperative. When it comes to trail running specifically, there are additional barriers. Simply the geography of trail running is a natural excluder of black runners. Most trails happen to be outside of urban areas where black populations are sorely outnumbered. For Sabrina, a black, middle-aged mother, the odds are overwhelmingly stacked against her. Sabrina has worked to change that. She co-founded Black Trail Runners and speaks out to brands, helping them find ways to expand their target audience to people of color. She told us that for companies it has to begin internally. In order to become more inclusive and diverse, you have to look at the process for the decisions you make. How are you picking who you’re hiring? Or marketing to? That’s where it begins. So You Think You Want to Be a Runner Sabrina didn’t start running until she was in her early thirties. Now she’s an ultra-marathoner, on the cover of Runner’s World, and a running community leader. As mentioned before, she’s a mother, a grandmother, a woman of color, and a native to the British countryside. If anyone wasn’t “meant” to be a trail runner, it was probably Sab. Long story short, if she can do it, so can you. Sab started running after having her fourth child. Her doctor recommended she find some type of exercise to combat her postpartum depression. She had never enjoyed running, but decided she would try to run a mile. That first run was awful. She felt like she couldn’t breathe, that she couldn’t do it, but then, she finished. Ever since that first run, although many have been similar in difficulty, she’s never regretted finishing a run. “It’s a miracle, it’s magical,” she says. Sabrina’s Secret to Tackling Long Distances Sab has now run some very impressive distances. She’s competed in what’s commonly known as the “toughest footrace on earth,” Marathon Des Sables, a 250km race in the Sahara Desert, along with many other ultra-marathons. Even with those mammoth races under her belt, she still takes it one step at a time, chunking up each training session or competition into smaller bits. A very visual piece of advice that Sab gives when you are out on a run that just feels plain hard, is to think about the devil and angel on your shoulders. The devil tells you that you can’t do it, that you’re not meant for it, or that it’s too hard. Sab pictures stepping on that devil with every step forward she takes. Each one pushing it further and further down. You can do it, and the angel on your shoulder will be proud when you finish. Whoever you are, you can be a runner. People like Sab are making sure of that. If you don’t see a runner like you, be that runner for the next person. Take one step at a time, chunk it up, and let that little devil know what you are capable of.

So You Think You Want to Grow Smokable Hemp Flower? How's Your Handling and Drying Game? Daniel “Donny” Jurmann, a long-time cannabis and hemp expert, talks the smokable hemp market and what it will take for farmers to succeed in this potentially lucrative market. It’s all comes down to expert harvest and proper handling, Jurmann explains to HempLogic founder Cory Sharp. Hear how, with hemp legalization, the market is moving away from ‘budmass’ and anything that even slightly resembles a flower, to a quality, premium product. A run-down on the challenges and expertise needed to properly harvest, dry and cure smokable hemp flower to meet higher buyer standards. Jurmann, VP of sales and marketing for Marshall Farming, describes the art and technique of drying and curing the cannabis flower as “my great passion in life.” In the end, is smokable hemp flower a lucrative ‘pivot’ for hemp farmers looking to shift away from biomass sales? Like most things in industrial hemp…it depends!
