It's something I've noticed over and over again: the more bold steps I take outside, the more life adventures I'm willing to tackle in my home and work life. That's a theme Shelby Stanger has heard over and over again from guests she interviews on REI's Wild Ideas Worth Living podcast and something she experienced in her own life. It's also the theme of her new book, “Will to Wild: Adventures Great and Small to Change Your Life.” But what is the will to wild? How do you find it and how do you chase it? Is it something that can be gained only by the super outdoorsy or those privileged enough to spend lots of time outside? Shelby tackles those questions and more in this exciting episode of Humans Outside. Listen now!

Shelby Stanger is the host and creator of the hit podcast, Wild Ideas Worth Living, an REI Co-op Studios production and the author of the new book Will To Wild. Shelby started the Wild Ideas Worth Living podcast on her own though and it became SO popular and influential that REI purchased it in 2020.  Like her adventurous podcast guests, Shelby is a true badass and trailblazer whose trails have led her to major wild outdoor adventures, writing a book, large speaking engagements and even most recently a Ted Talk. Over the years, her work has appeared everywhere from Outside Magazine to ESPN, and she has spoken to organizations all over the world. Always chasing adventure herself, Shelby has surfed from Canada to Costa Rica; sandboarded down desolate dunes in Cape Town; paddled down a remote portion of the Amazon River; and interviewed countless CEOs, athletes, activists, and thought leaders. She regularly consults with highly motivated individuals and brands to tell better stories and even launch their own podcasts and wild ideas. As a matter of fact she helped me on several occasions when I attended her no bullshit podcasting workshops back when there was little to no support. She is a genuine enthusiastic, joyful, curious fun, stoked, and insightful human!  And even more so in person. All of that energy is infectious. After following her and interacting with her virtually for like 10 years when I finally met her in person, it was hard to just stick to one avenue. I mean she is my favorite host of my favorite podcast and her new book has enriched my life and motivated me in seriously profound ways! Her adventure roots have grown into something really magnificent that is branching out in all sorts of exciting new directions . I felt like there was so much to explore in such a short amount of time and I wanted to go in so many places!  So …I just let us free flow, we had a fun nonstructured expression session and I think we took the most beautiful scenic route in conversation. We had a blast…Enjoy our talk on the wild side!

I wish I could just do interviews without writing the stories, but there was no medium for that. And then I listened to podcasts, and I loved Tim Ferriss's show, but I'd always wished he'd interviewed more women and talked about adventure because that's my love language.”“I think surfing is just a really unique activity. It demands you to be present, demands you to go with the flow. And you're never going to be that good at it unless you're really lucky.”“I used to think you needed to claw your way up a mountain and no, let go and surrender to the elements and the forces around you. If it's meant to happen, it will. You just have to have a little bit more grace. So that's probably the biggest thing I've changed my mind about, like, not efforting as much, more like going with the flow. Your Ego Is Not Your Amigo, Let Go & Surrender”Resources MentionedShelby's Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/shelby-stanger/Shelby's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/shelbystanger/Shelby's Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ShelbyStangerProductions/Shelby's Twitter - https://twitter.com/ShelbyPodcastsShelby's Email - Shelby@ShelbyStanger.comShelby's Website -

Today's guest is Shelby Stanger, and I've been waiting over a year to interview her!   Author of Will to Wild & Creator and Host of REI Co-op's Wild Ideas Worth Living Podcast.   In 2016, Shelby created the Wild Ideas Worth Living podcast, which she sold to REI Co-Op just four years later and she still hosts today. In 2020 she also created another podcast about health and humor called Vitamin Joy.   This year, Shelby released her first book, Will to Wild: Adventures Great and Small to Change Your Life, published by Simon and Schuster. She's also going to be giving her first TEDx talk about the power of nature and adventure to change your life.   As you'll hear in this episode, the common thread to everything Shelby does is that a little adventure is life's antidote.

2022 was a pretty amazing year for Wild Ideas Worth Living. We released fifty episodes this year and interviewed some pretty awe-inspiring guests. We learned so much about healing in nature, being present, the value in moving our bodies, and creating equal access to the great outdoors. We talked about food and plants and gear, about mountains and caves and trails. Our guests taught us that age is nothing but a number, that there is activism in pursuing joy outdoors, and that nature can bring people together.To all of our guests and listeners this year - thank you.Episodes to listen to:How to Suffer Outside with Diana HelmuthHealing in the Mountains with Silvia Vasquez-LavadoMaking Indigenous Art with Louie GongGrowing a Garden with Marcus BridgewaterWalking Around the World with Tom TurcichSpirit of the Peaks with Connor RyanFinding Yourself in Climbing with Mario StanleyBuilding Cotopaxi with Davis SmithBuilding a Running Community with Iman WilkersonRiding Waves with the Boogie Board Wave ChasersWinter Treks with Emily Ford

With a knack for audio stories, Shelby created and sold her first podcast about adventure called Wild Ideas Worth Living to REI Co-Op in 2020 (she remains the host) and recently hosted an award-winning travel show for Lufthansa called Life Changing Places.

Donate here: https://bit.ly/LSBuyPint My ‘lifer’ episodes are always among the most popular instalments, and this conversation with podcaster and journalist Shelby Stanger is a classic of the genre. It’s also particularly fascinating for me because, as I realised during our conversation, our careers are actually really, really similar - from the circumstances that got us into the industry, to our progress through it, and to the way we ended up laughing our own podcasts at around the same time. Given how niche our careers are, I found it to be an intriguing coincidence. As fellow members of the unofficial action sports podcaster union, Shelby and I have been internet pals for a couple of years now. It’s a small world this industry, so you tend to end up knowing each other. And from the beginning, when she went out of her way to give me some extremely useful and savvy advice, I could tell she was a total legend. So in February 2021, we sat down to unravel the story of Shelby’s life and career. And what a tale it is. As you’ll expect if you’ve listened to Shelby’s show’s Wild Ideas Worth Living and Vitamin Joy, this is a top yarn from an expert, empathetic storyteller. These are my favourite episodes of the show, where I can tell we’re on safe hands, and the overall vibe is relaxed and expansive. My thanks to Shelby to coming on the show, and for such a warm, insightful conversation. Hope you enjoy it. Thanks to Matt Ward for the theme tune, and to my editor Fina Charleson.

2020 has been quite a year. We had a plan for what this season of Wild Ideas Worth Living would look like, but a few months in we had to change course, just as everyone in the world did. So while our first few episodes focused on adventurers who traveled all over the world and broke barriers, we spent the rest of the year learning from guests who taught us how to find peace and a sense of adventure in our own homes. Thank you to all of our guests for sharing your stories and wild ideas with us. And thank you especially to you, the listeners, for tuning in, writing reviews, and sending us notes about your own wild ideas. We’ll be back with new episodes in January, so be sure to subscribe or follow wherever you listen to podcasts.

“A lot of brands  just try and sell their product. A little too in your face. I don't think people want that... Brands that have gotten into the podcast space, for the most part, don't make that many mistakes because podcasting is a totally different audience, and if they figured out how to get into the podcast game, they've gotten a little bit of help.”Why are more and more businesses podcasting? How do you create powerful content?Ask Shelby Stanger, an award-winning podcast host, producer, journalist, and overall amazing human being. We had a blast talking with Shelby on this episode of “Lights, Camera, Grow”, as we explored how her experiences as a journalist and brand marketer contributed to her becoming the next (female) Tim Ferriss of the adventure sports world.

Dr. Goldhamer is the founder of the True North Health Center in Santa Rosa, CA, which specializes in supervised water fasting. For over 35 years they've helped over 20,000 patients reverse various aliments and diseases through supervised water-fasting and the introduction and education of a plant-based, sugar-free, oil-free, and salt-free diet. I know that sounds pretty hardcore, but this podcast is called Vitamin Joy. It's about doing simple things in your life that can create massive amounts of joy. His techniques for what his results are are fairly simple – changing your diet and drinking only water. I get it's big leap for some people. Dr. Goldhamer, who is a licensed osteopathic physician, the author of The Health Promoting Cookbook, and the co-author of The Pleasure Trap, has seen the process work firsthand and been part of several big-time peer reviewed studies published in major medical journals, and recently been featured in movies like What The Health, and the Netflix special UnWell. For today's show, I talk about my own experience working with Dr. Goldhamer. I ask him to give us an overview of eating this, and how it can add more health and immunity to our lives, something we all care about right now. We also talk about how come it's so hard for us to change our diets and how water fasting can make that change easier. This podcast gets even better towards the end.

Having a dog during the COVID-19 pandemic seems like a blessing: they provide an excuse to get outside (safely!), they are always up for some quality time and pets, and they can provide some entertainment and maybe even a little laughter. No one knows the joys and comforts of being a dog owner more than photographer and author Ben Moon. His recent book, Denali, is all about how his pup helped him through his battle with colorectal cancer in his 20s. On today’s show, Ben shares how pets can help relieve stress and shares the story of adopting Denali.Episodes of Wild Ideas Worth Living to listen to:Tate MacDowellConnect with Ben Moon:WebsiteFacebookTwitterInstagramResources:Denali bookDenali short filmThe Lucky Ones short film

This year, I’ve enjoyed the theme of exploring how we adventure inside our own heads as much as we adventure outside in the wild.  We’ve talked about how being outside in nature can help us overcome trauma and become healthier, what it’s like seeing the earth from outer space, the changing tides of consumerism, fighting wildfires, gaining financial independence, ultramarathon trail running, becoming sober, facing failure, representation in the outdoors, breaking records, how to surf giant waves, how to face fear, how to build your life resume, and so much more.  In the final episode of 2018, I’m sharing some of the biggest lessons I’ve learned this year from guests and all of you. Some of the best parts of running this podcast are getting messages about how the show has inspired you to go on an adventure or change your own lifestyle. I hope you enjoy these highlights and I hope you enjoy your holiday. We’d love for you to share with us how this show has benefitted you.  Click SUBSCRIBE wherever you are listening to this and reading this. We’re taking a brief break to sharpen the saw and produce an even bigger show next year. We’ll be back mid-January, and are excited to share what we have with you.  Listen to this episode if:  You want to hear a fun recap of some highlights from this year. You love adventuring.

The host of an adventure podcast pauses to examine the internal adventures of kindness, humor, and stillness. Shelby Stanger of Wild Ideas Worth Living, sponsored by REI, shares her strategies for biohacking feeling good daily. She invites athletes to challenges themselves with quieter pursuits of meditation and Yoga and leaves listeners with the relief and encouragement she experienced when writing herself a letter from her future self. Join us as Shelby and I resonate on the challenges of carving out space for quiet, slowing down and learning we actually have the tools and insight to offer ourselves the self-help we need, perhaps without needing to consult an external “expert.”   How to biohack feeling good everyday How humor heals and helps us reach our goals Why kindness matters, especially when we’re kind to ourselves   Wild Ideas Worth Living Podcast https://wildideasworthliving.com/ Alex Honnold http://www.alexhonnold.com/ Courtney Carver https://courtneycarver.com/ Shelby’s Interview with Gabby Reece https://wildideasworthliving.com/gabby-reece-advice-on-life-finding-balance-and-optimizing-fitness-and-health/ Laird Hamilton https://www.lairdhamilton.com/ Jen Sincero https://jensincero.com/ Shelby’s interview with Cheryl Strayed https://wildideasworthliving.com/cheryl-strayed-on-hiking-getting-outside-being-kind-and-writing-like-a-mofo/ Shelby’s interview with Rebecca Rusch https://wildideasworthliving.com/rebecca-rusch-how-to-take-risks-and-carve-your-own-trail/ Yoga Healer Podcast https://yogahealer.com/podcasts/ Prince Harry surfing for Mental Health https://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/people/prince-harry-and-meghan-join-mental-health-group-hug-on-bondi-beach-1.3669012 Show Highlights: 01:28 Easeful Living Practice ~ What are your internal adventures? 05:04 Interview with Shelby Stanger begins! 09:05 Another way to challenge yourself if you’re already an athlete: yoga, stillness, quiet 12:28 How Shelby biohacks feeling good everyday including JOMO (the joy of missing out!) 19:25 Letting go of perfectionism and being with the task at hand 24:00 Humor as a healer for perfectionism and its power to help us learn new things 29:57 Why kindness matters 33:24 Ayurvedic Self-Massage and quick transition into princess adventuring:) 37:21 More on humor and Shelby’s strategy of writing herself a letter, plus getting real about substances and emotions   Favorite Quotes: “A good adventure is one that gets you a little out of your comfort zone, but helps you make a positive change in your life.” -- Shelby Stanger “My physical challenge... is to try to do a little less, a little more consciously, and to carve some space for just quiet; that’s not easy for me though!” -- Shelby Stanger “I don’t stack, I focus. I monotask.” -- Shelby Stanger “I think being offended really sets us back, and doesn’t allow us to take power, it just allows us to divert our anger.” -- Shelby Stanger “The biggest thing we can all do is just be really kind to each other.” -- Shelby Stanger “There’s this perception (in the self-help world) that we have to wait for someone else to tell us what we need to help ourselves.” -- Andrea Catherine Meet Shelby: Shelby Stanger has been obsessed with storytelling since she inked her first article in a national newspaper at the ripe age of 15. As a longtime adventure journalist and marketing consultant in the action and outdoor sports world, the waterwoman has standup-paddled a portion of the Peruvian Amazon, dove into the punk rock scene reporting about a summer-long series called the Vans Warped Tour, surfed from Tofino to Tavarua, and interviewed countless CEOs, entrepreneurs and pro athletes on assignment for major international publications and brands like Outside Magazine and Vans. The common thread: A little adventure is life’s antidote. To second chances. To soul seeking. To success. Her Wild Ideas Worth Living podcast, established in 2016, amplifies these narratives with Shelby going further afield for high-impact storytelling that empowers others to live their passions, and get outside.

“Starting lines are almost more important than finish lines.” Shelby Stanger is a journalist, surfer, podcaster, and adventurer who enjoys travel and big adventures. She has a great outlook on life and some amazing stories to share from her own life and her podcast, Wild Ideas Worth Living where she interviews world-class explorers, athletes, authors, scientists, health experts, and entrepreneurs about how they've taken their own wild ideas and made them a reality, so you can too. From people who have sailed across the Pacific, to people who have broken records, climbed the tallest peaks, written best-selling books, started outdoor companies you love, or just stood up for something they believed in, some of the wildest ideas can lead to the most rewarding adventures.

Nick and Shelby’s Wild Idea: To share about their adventure podcasts, both presented by REI Co-op, and turn the microphone back on each other. The word’s out. REI has been my main partner all year and it’s been an awesome, wild ride. They’re also now in the podcast game with not just with my show, but also a new 8-episode series called Take it From Me, that launches this week. We talk to Nick Mott, who is the producer of the show, share a quick clip, and dive into the unique format and adventurous characters he interviews. Nick is a fellow journalist, writer, photographer, and a rock climber. Originally from Kansas and now living in Boulder, Colorado, he loves the outdoors and sharing stories of people going on badass adventures. He also hosts another show about sustainability and has good tips for anyone who wants to start a podcast.  After I talk to Nick, he turns the microphone back on me. A lot of people have been asking me to share my story, so I talk about why I started the podcast, what I look for in guests, and some key things I have learned along the way. It’s quick episode. Perfect for a fast run, or a short commute. Enjoy. Listen to this episode if:  You love podcasts about the outdoors (which you do, why else would you be here?) You like to get outside.

On this episode, we bring you excerpts from an episode of Wild Ideas Worth Living, a podcast about people who have wild ideas and do them anyway. We talk with host Shelby Stanger about her choice to give up a stable career in order to pursue her passion and launch her show. And we bring you excerpts from her interview with Rob Greenfield, a man who has created a life he loves through living with less. Rob lives on $5,000 a year -- voluntarily. He has no credit card, no bills to pay; and he's undertaken challenges like producing zero waste while biking across the country.

Shelby’s Wild Idea: To make a podcast that inspires others to live more wildly, and share stories and advice from the top adventurers, athletes, health experts, and more. It has been a wild year, that’s for sure. When I started this podcast, my goal was to record seven episodes and keep going.

I’ve met amazing people along the way, including some of you.  On this show, I am sharing a few things I’ve learned after 54 episodes. From making commitments to adjusting your expectations to paving your own path, my guests have shared some amazing nuggets of wisdom. Thank you to everyone who has listened to the show, to the amazing guests who have shared their stories, the brands who have sponsored the show, and everyone who has written a story about us, included us on a list of awesome podcasts, and shared the show with their community.

What do you do when your life looks great "on paper" but it isn't the life you want? We talk with Shelby Stanger, journalist and host of the podcast "Wild Ideas Worth Living" about what she gained when she left a high paying job 9 years ago to pursue a freelance journalism career. For Shelby, what looked good on paper, a job that looked fantastic in other people’s eyes and that she’d told herself should look great in her own, resulted in a dissonance that lead her to make a big life change. It’s a feeling we can all relate to - that friction in our mind when everything is not as it appears. Shelby is a big personality: she's warm, confident and funny. She loves surfing, diving deep into other people's stories, and teaching - whether its through her work or guiding women to learn how to surf.

Striking out on your own means a whole lot of hustling. We interview Sarah Knapp, the founder of OutdoorFest and Mappy Hour about how she got started, how she finds time, and how she's learning to appreciate an accomplishment before moving onto her next goal. After graduating from NYU, Sarah applied to work at a ski resort in Alta, Utah. She wanted to immerse herself in the 'ski bum' lifestyle and surround herself with people who were as into skiing as herself. Sarah found herself at home in the outdoor community, and brought the drive to share that feeling with others back to New York. Learn about how Sarah started OutdoorFest, a 10 day outdoor adventure festival in New York City and Mappy Hour, a growing happy hour for urban outdoorists. The opening story in this podcast was contributed by Sara Aranda, founder of Bivy Tales. Special thanks to Sara for her openness and vulnerability in sharing her experiences with anxiety.
