In this episode of the Free Outside Podcast, I replay one of my all-time favorite convos — a sit-down with Tara Dower, who absolutely crushed the supported Appalachian Trail FKT and somehow lived to tell the tale (barely).Consider supporting The Trevor Project https://give.thetrevorproject.org/JeffATWe talk about everything from post-trail depression to how it feels when your crew spoon-feeds you every meal for 40 days straight. Tara breaks down the power of delegation, what it's like to lose all decision-making autonomy, and how a dog bite during a panic attack marked the low point of her hiking career (and also maybe the turning point).She also shares how pacing Kyle Curtin on the Colorado Trail helped her build her own FKT strategy, why her crew was the real MVP, and how she managed to crush Hardrock 100 just weeks before starting her AT attempt.This isn't just a recap of a record — it's an honest look at fear, failure, mental health, and the grind it takes to do something massive. Plus, Tara drops her next FKT plans and talks about the weird joy of vlogging in a blizzard.If you're curious about how to plan for an FKT this big — or just want to hear two sleep-deprived trail nerds bond over anxiety and peanut butter — you'll love this one.Sponsored by:Janji – Use code FREEOUTSIDE for a discountGarage Grown Gear – Ultralight dreamlandCS Coffee – My trail coffee of choiceMount to coast – Big things brewingUltraspire - A cool pack is on the way Chapters00:00 Introduction to Tara Dower's Achievements07:52 The Journey to the Appalachian Trail FKT13:47 Lessons from Failure: The 2017 Attempt20:03 The Importance of Crew Dynamics26:12 Planning for the FKT: The Trail Bible32:32 Looking Ahead: Future Plans and Goals41:44 The Evolution of FKT Training49:55 The Role of Social Media in Outdoor Experiences58:26 Mindset for Tackling Big Challenges01:03:46 Interview with Tara Dower: FKT on the Appalachian TrailSubscribe to Substack: http://freeoutside.substack.comSupport this content on patreon: HTTP://patreon.com/freeoutsideBuy my book "Free Outside" on Amazon: https://amzn.to/39LpoSFEmail me to buy a signed copy of my book, "Free Outside" at jeff@freeoutside.comWatch the movie about setting the record on the Colorado Trail: https://tubitv.com/movies/100019916/free-outsideWebsite: www.Freeoutside.comInstagram: thefreeoutsidefacebook: www.facebook.com/freeoutside

Trigger Warning: This episode contains conversations about conversion therapy, psychological abuse, and self-harm. We share these stories to raise awareness and foster healing, but we recognize they may be difficult to hear. Please listen with care and step away if you need to. If you or someone you know is struggling, resources like The Trevor Project (1-866-488-7386) are available to provide support.   Conversion therapy survivor Syre Klenke speaks openly about the damaging impact of being forced into years of so-called “treatment” as a teenager and the depression that followed, while also showing how authenticity and community became a way forward. Joining John Corella, Syre recalls the shock of being taken to a conversion therapy conference under the guise of a family outing, the gaslighting he endured from both licensed therapists and church leaders, and the loss of everyday teenage milestones like dating and prom. These stories reveal how conversion therapy robs young people of their sense of safety and self, leaving scars that last well into adulthood. Yet Syre also reflects on the resilience it takes to survive, the courage to tell the truth, and the importance of building spaces where no one has to hide who they are. This episode confronts the damaging reality of conversion therapy while reminding us that healing is possible through honesty, courage, and community.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Welcome to Dance Dad with John Corella 01:26 Meet Syre Klenke: Comedian, Activist, Conversion Therapy Survivor 04:46 What Conversion Therapy Really Means and Why It's Damaging 07:58 Surviving Four Years of Forced Conversion Therapy 12:05 Losing High School Milestones and Identity 18:43 The Most Traumatizing Moments of Conversion Therapy 27:49 Abuse and Self-Harm Tactics Inside Conversion Therapy 29:29 Mental Health Struggles and Depression Afterward 34:33 Religion, Patriarchy, and Gender Roles in Conversion Therapy 39:09 Why Survivor Stories Must Be Told 42:14 Conversion Therapy in Politics and the Supreme Court Case 01:04:30 The Boldest Act: Sharing Your Story Authentically   Connect with Syre Klenke: Instagram   Connect with John Corella: Dance Dad with John Corella on Instagram John Corella on Instagram Patreon Website Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

They've done so for a very special film: Jake Schreier's Thunderbolts*, a return to the MCU's past glories with a tale of outcasts looking for something to believe in. Yelena Belova, the Winter Soldier, U.S. Agent, Red Guardian, Ghost, and Taskmaster come together to form a new kind of Avengers team; one formed under the auspices of none other than Elaine Benes.

This one was a long time coming. I finally got to sit down with Joey Campanelli — aka Joey Camps — who's been quietly putting together one of the wildest, most hardcore FKT resumes in existence. From a 2014 Appalachian Trail junk show with a ski pack and trench foot, to the 2017 self-supported AT finish that just happened to be three days behind Stringbean's historic run… Joey's stories are brutal, honest, and somehow hilarious.Consider supporting my fundraising efforts for the Trevor Project: https://give.thetrevorproject.org/JeffATWe dig into:Why he sucks at running (his words)Getting into FKTs by way of Ironman, Utah mountains, and ultra-running girlfriendsThe infamous "Limp-a-thon" after tearing his quad on the ATHow to do 50-mile days in pain… for weeksThe mindset behind Nolan's 14 and why he slept in an altitude tent for itNutrition strategies involving watch alarms and resupply math in gas stationsWhat it's like being second-fastest ever on the AT… in the same year someone breaks the recordChapters:00:00 – Intro & Joey's FKT Origin Story03:30 – The AT Junk Show & Learning the Hard Way06:00 – The Limp-a-thon: Injury, Grit, and Nearly Beating Stringbean10:30 – Post-FKT Fallout & Mental Recovery13:00 – Nolan's 14: Obsession, Altitude Tents, and 41 Hours of Glory17:00 – Fueling, Mindset, and Why You Go All InSubscribe to Substack: http://freeoutside.substack.comSupport this content on patreon: HTTP://patreon.com/freeoutsideBuy my book "Free Outside" on Amazon: https://amzn.to/39LpoSFEmail me to buy a signed copy of my book, "Free Outside" at jeff@freeoutside.comWatch the movie about setting the record on the Colorado Trail: https://tubitv.com/movies/100019916/free-outsideWebsite: www.Freeoutside.comInstagram: thefreeoutsidefacebook: www.facebook.com/freeoutside

In this episode, I sit down with Gabriella, a dynamic leader who's been on a journey of transformation in both her personal and professional life. We dive into the lessons she's learned along the way about vulnerability, leadership, and rediscovering herself after becoming a mother. This episode is all about embracing imperfections and understanding that true leadership is not about presenting a polished version of yourself but being authentic and real.About Gabriella MonteAs Vice President of Hotel and Retail Operations at The Village Dallas, Gabriella Monte leads with vision, passion, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

She proudly serves on the Board of DIFFA Dallas and is an active supporter of Planned Parenthood, The Trevor Project, and Dress for Success. Gabriella is a beacon of modern leadership, showing how women can break barriers, lead with purpose, and drive lasting impact in both industry and community.Gabriella's Intentional JourneyWe start by discussing Gabriella's journey of intentionality. Gabriella shares how, prior to becoming a mother, she had always lived a life where success and career advancement were her primary focus. She talks about the mindset shift that came with motherhood, realizing that the greatest value she carried was not in her ability to present perfectly but in her ability to present the person behind the success. This journey wasn't easy, but it became something truly beautiful as she learned to put her authentic self first.The Challenges of MotherhoodGabriella opens up about the challenges she faced when trying to become a mother. She had a long, emotional journey with infertility that tested her ability to overcome challenges beyond her control. Gabriella reveals how this experience shifted her perspective on life and success. While she was used to achieving anything she set her mind to in her career, the struggle to have a child was something that was completely out of her control, making her question her identity in a way she had never experienced before.Balancing Career and Personal LifeAs we talk about the complexities of balancing career and personal life, Gabriella explains how she was able to use hardship as motivation to keep going. Even when she faced emotional and physical challenges, her drive to succeed in her career and maintain strong relationships with her family pushed her forward. However, it wasn't always easy, and there were times when she felt out of control, not knowing if everything she was doing was worth it.Rediscovering IdentityThe journey through infertility and becoming a mother prompted Gabriella to rediscover who she truly was outside of her professional success. She explains how redefining herself wasn't just about overcoming adversity but also about surrendering to the process and being vulnerable. For the first time, Gabriella allowed herself to acknowledge the struggles, and in doing so, she found a new sense of authenticity that helped her grow as both a person and a leader.The Power of VulnerabilityGabriella shares an important lesson in vulnerability: it's not just about being vulnerable with others, but also with yourself. She talks about how being open about her struggles, both personal and professional, has made her a stronger leader. She reflects on how many leaders, especially women, have often been conditioned to hide their vulnerabilities, but she now understands the power that comes with showing up authentically, even when things aren't perfect.Leadership and EmpathyA major theme of this episode is the relationship between leadership and empathy. Gabriella talks about how being an empathetic leader doesn't make you weak; in fact, it can make you stronger. She emphasizes that showing empathy and understanding in leadership, especially during times of hardship, helps build deeper connections with your team and creates a more sustainable work environment. Leadership is not just about making decisions; it's about showing your humanity and being willing to support others through their challenges.Conclusion and Next StepsAs we wrap up the conversation, Gabriella shares some final thoughts on how leaders can balance their personal and professional lives, as well as how embracing vulnerability can lead to stronger, more authentic connections with those around them. She encourages leaders to keep striving for authenticity and to remember that imperfections and challenges are not weaknesses, but rather growth opportunities.Resources Mentioned:If you're ready to grow as a leader, join me for my free monthly leadership workshop at rockygarza.com/confidence Follow Gabriella on Instagram: @GabriellammonteFollow The Village on Instagram: @thevillagedallasKey Timestamps:00:00 Introduction: Embracing Imperfection00:46 Gabriella's Intentional Journey02:39 The Challenges of Motherhood04:32 Balancing Career and Personal Life06:06 Rediscovering Identity07:49 The Power of Vulnerability08:51 Leadership and Empathy19:19 Conclusion and Next StepsTo join Rocky for his next free virtual event, go to https://rockygarza.com/beyondsuccessSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/trgs/donations

What do a McDonald's, a rusted van, and an Appalachian Trail record have in common? Warren Doyle. On this episode of the Free Outside Podcast I am joined by the legend Warren Doyle — educator, endurance icon, and Appalachian Trail philosopher — for an unfiltered, no-bobblehead conversation about FKTs, culture clashes, and the soul of long-distance hiking.Warren recounts his 1973 AT speed record (before we even called them FKTs), discusses the evolution of trail culture, and shares stories of creeks, canteens, creek showers, and a boot gone rogue. We explore the role of endurance vs. speed, why “tempo” matters more than terrain, and what today's hikers can learn from the past — if they're willing to listen.Consider supporting my fundraising efforts for the Trevor Project: https://give.thetrevorproject.org/JeffATPlus: reflections on Liz “Mercury” Durstine, Tara Dower, Scott Jurek, and the future of the ATC.

On this episode of The Free Outside Podcast, I'm joined by White Mountains legend and community builder Andrew Drummond to dive deep into the Direttissima—an FKT linking all 48 of New Hampshire's 4,000-foot peaks in one unsupported push. Think Nolan's 14 but with more rocks, more bushwhacks, and significantly more emotional damage.We cover Andrew's recent sub-5-day effort, the strategic "feathering" of effort in multi-day sufferfests, and why hiking in the Whites feels like the trail is actively trying to kill you. We also talk about the evolution of FKTs, the importance of local knowledge, and why the Beast Coast terrain is no joke.Andrew reflects on building a community through Ski the Whites and Run the Whites, putting on grassroots events, and embracing failure as a necessary—and often hilarious—step in the process.Whether you're an FKT nerd, an East Coast trail masochist, or just want a glimpse into what makes the White Mountains so special (and spicy), this one's for you.Presented by:

In this Part 1 of a 2-part series, we sit down with Emily, a brave and thoughtful guest who opens up about her early struggles with depression, self-harm, and suicide attempts—and how she's navigating healing while parenting, working in healthcare, and showing up for herself. This episode is packed with vulnerability, insight, and hope. Sh!t That Goes On In Our Heads is the 2024 People's Choice Podcast Award Winner for Health and the 2024 Women In Podcasting Award Winner for Best Mental Health Podcast, with over 2 million downloads across more than 100 countries.

She opens up about masking her pain, learning to recognize her triggers, and trying to raise her daughter differently, with emotional safety and open conversation at the core. Topics covered include: Surviving major depression Suicide prevention and recovery Parenting with trauma awareness The long tail of childhood emotional neglect The importance of support systems and safe spaces   SEO Keywords: Mental health journey, depression survival story, suicide prevention, parenting with trauma, mental health awareness, generational trauma, triggers, healing from abuse, recovery, living with depression, emotional support, self-worth, 988 lifeline   Meet Our Guest: Emily Emily is a registered nurse, a survivor, and a mom raising her daughter with the emotional validation she never received as a child. Her mental health journey began at just 11 years old, when she first experienced the weight of emotional pain without words to explain it. Self-harm and isolation followed, eventually leading to two suicide attempts—one during her freshman year of college and another at 20 years old. Despite surviving those moments, Emily was met with silence and shame instead of support. She speaks candidly about being the only young person in a psychiatric unit, about nurses treating her with judgment instead of compassion, and about the decades-long work of learning to feel worthy of love. Her healing is ongoing. And she doesn't pretend otherwise. Emily also talks about being the child of young parents who were navigating their own recovery and mental health challenges—and how that shaped her understanding of love, trust, and emotional connection. Today, she's raising her daughter with intention, focusing on emotional safety, validating feelings, and breaking generational cycles. She's also working in healthcare, where she uses her lived experience to bring compassion and awareness into patient care. Her story is messy, raw, honest, and incredibly powerful. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/emmiewillyy/   Key Takeaways Healing is not linear. You can still struggle and still be healing—those truths can coexist. Emotional neglect leaves deep scars. Silence around mental health in childhood often echoes into adulthood. Showing up imperfectly is still powerful, especially for those we love.   Actionable Items Save the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline in your phone—and share it with someone who might need it. Talk to your kids about emotions at an early age. Validate their feelings now to build trust later. Pay attention to your triggers. Recognizing them is the first step to healing.   Chapters & Time Stamps [00:01:41] Emily's Why What inspired her to share her story publicly, and how a surprising message from a friend changed everything.

Before Pride was corporate. Before protections. Before visibility. There was survival—and there was community. In this bonus episode, we sit at the feet of two living legends of New York’s queer underground. First Ceyenne Doroshow - the performer, activist, researcher and the unstoppable force behind G.L.I.T.S. - takes us back to Brooklyn in the ‘70s and ‘80s, where she came of age as a young Black trans girl. She shares stories of unlikely protectors, neighbors who supported her in unexpected ways, the nightclubs she’ll never forget, and how she met her community mother – an icon in her own right. Then Stonewall veteran, activist, and self-identified Super Butch, Jay Toole drops us straight into their life on the streets as a teenager – sleeping in Washington Square Park and finding family among queer kids who the world left behind. Plus, they share a queer love story for the ages. Jay also wants to shout out LGBTQ+ organizations carrying the work forward today: The Audre Lorde Project, Transgender Law Center, and The Trevor Project.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I finally got Allison Powell—producer, ultrarunner, and now bonafide backpacker—on the podcast to talk about her first solo thru-hike: the Wonderland Trail. Spoiler alert: she tried to bring hummus, carrots, and a full picnic on a 90+ mile, three-day solo trip around Mount Rainier. But somehow, despite a heavy pack, trail math struggles, and losing her travel mug to the forest gods, she pulled it off.Consider supporting my fundraising efforts for the Trevor Project: https://give.thetrevorproject.org/JeffATFollow Allison online: https://www.instagram.com/allisonhpowell/In this episode, we break down how a seasoned ultrarunner transitions (read: suffers) into backpacking, what she learned about weight, gear, solo hiking, and bear hangs, and how her view of thru-hiking shifted after 14-hour days of nothing but walking, couscous, and waterfalls. This is an honest, hilarious, and pretty relatable first-time thru-hiker story—and maybe even a cautionary tale.Brought to you by:

And finally, Real Housewives of Orange County, that sees the women head to NOLA and bond over turtle soup before the underlying tensions come to the surface. 4:31 - The Valley: Season 02: Episode 17 1:56:23 - Real Housewives of Miami: Season 07: Episode 09 2:47:23 - Real Housewives of Orange County: Season 19: Episode 05 We are Eamon and Merlin, a queer married couple from Texas living in Pittsburgh, PA.

What do wildfires, the Arizona desert, and the Oregon Coast have in common? They've all tried—and failed—to stop Katie Gunvalson, aka Raven. In this episode, I catch up with Jeffrey Award winner and self-supported FKT crusher Katie after her overall record on the Oregon Coast Trail, where she took the long way and still came out fastest.This is the full-circle redemption arc. Katie first came on the podcast after her PCT FKT was stopped by a wildfire on day one. Since then? She's failed a few more times (we all have—ask Nick), kept showing up, and finally broke through with one of the coolest FKTs around—one that involves tide timing, beach running, and some major resilience.Consider donating to support the trevor project as I attempt this record https://give.thetrevorproject.org/JeffATWe talk about what it means to chase something hard, to fail publicly, and to come back swinging. Katie shares the real stuff—motivation, self-worth, wanting to compete with the big names at Cocodona (hey Jamil, you listening?), and why this record mattered more than any other.This episode is brought to you by:Janji – for clothing that keeps you stylishly off the FKT doleGarage Grown Gear – for all your weird, ultralight, cottage gear needsMount to Coast – shoes for people who want to look fastCS Coffee – still the only reason I'm coherent todayAnd a reminder: I'm currently out chasing an Appalachian Trail FKT and raising money for The Trevor Project—because using our niche little sport to support people who feel different can actually make a difference.

When you hear this, I will have started the Appalachian Trail Self Supported FKT attempt. Track it here: https://corsa.run/live/freeoutside/Also, consider donating to the Trevor Project as I try to raise money and make a difference during this record attempt: https://give.thetrevorproject.org/JeffATIn this episode, I sit down (virtually) with the Dictator of FKTs, Allison Mercer, for a last-minute chat about how the heck I got here: from failed FedEx deliveries and lost shoes, to spending $500 shipping food across the eastern seaboard, to testing gear and nutrition in the White Mountains while pretending I still had a home address.We talk about why I chose the AT, why I'm going southbound, why self-supported FKTs are my favorite kind of chaos, and how I'm channeling all my energy into something bigger than myself—raising $10 per mile for The Trevor Project, an organization making a real impact on mental health and LGBTQ+ youth.We also cover:Why I eat Costco pizza for performanceMy obsession with spreadsheetsVisualizing failure so it doesn't surprise youAnd how rocks in your shoes are the new weighted vestIt's chaotic, heartfelt, and packed with bad ideas and good intentions.

Maurice – or Melissa, as they sometimes introduced themselves – was 22 when they were shot and killed in Phoenix, Arizona. They were just starting to build a name for themselves as a performer, making it to the regional final for American Idol and acting in dozens of local productions, including The Wiz, Westside Story, and Alice in Wonderland. But the curtain fell too soon…According to friends and family, gender identity was fluid for Maurice. They sometimes presented as femme and went by Melissa, as they did the night of the shooting. This led both LGBTQ+ activists and local officials to fear that maybe this was a hate crime. Maybe… But investigators have struggled to pin down a definitive motive – and the killer.If you have any information at all about the murder of Maurice Dupree Green, also known as Melissa, in March of 2006, please come forward.
