Monday Feb 01, 2021
Even though the last year has been a chaotic mess for most people it doesn't mean we shouldn't still be trying to exert some control over the things we can. In this episode we talk about our goals for this year and some tips on goal setting. Rather than being tossed around aimlessly, goal setting gives you direction and purpose that will help keep you on track.
Unless you life is exactly what you want, learning how to set and accomplish goals will help you make it closer to your ideal existence. Along the way you will learn new things about yourself that will fine tune that direction. Come along on the journey with us as we all try to navigate the world and try to build a life worth living.

Thursday Oct 15, 2020
COVID-19 has had a lot of downsides but there have been some silver
linings. We reconnect with our pals Alyssa and Eric about how they
have coped with the changes to the world. From starting a business
with the Win Journal to working from home, they have taken lemons and
made lemonade.
The freedom of remote working has allowed them to move out west and
climb in the Rockies in their free time. And their business of the Win
Journal has flourished even though the rest of the world has ground to
halt for a period.
We also delve into one of our favorite topics on fear and anxiety. What
it does and how it can forge us into better people. Alyssa gives a few
tips to help people to deal with anxiety and the pressures we are all faced with. Download from iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher or wherever you get your podcasts.

Ep. 40: Ontario Climber Reg Smart - How Passion Finds a Way
Monday Aug 17, 2020
Monday Aug 17, 2020
A suburban kid growing up in Etobicoke, Reg Smart was sort of a lost boy muddling through school and getting in fights but then found rock climbing. He got into climbing not with the intention of leaving his mark but because he loved it. Along the way he became one of the most influential climbers on the scene. Strong and bold is how he climbs and how he lives his life.
More than 40 years later, he's still climbing. He's taken that passion and used it to fuel all of his pursuits from climbing and Olympic weight lifting to making beer and growing his own vegetables. We sit down at Reg's dining room table to talk about his start in climbing and how passion still drives his pursuits.
**GIVEAWAY Winner of Ontario Climbing's Niagara Escarpment Guide Books announced at the end of this episode. Enjoy!

Wednesday Jul 08, 2020
Wednesday Jul 08, 2020
Has having kids slowed down your adventures into the backcountry? It doesn't have to. Give a listen as Catharine gives her advice on how to get your kids into the backcountry. From trip planning to lowering your expectations, she has built her experience by taking her kids starting at the ages of 3 and 4 on backpacking trips here in Ontario and in the USA in the Adirondack Mountains and Allegheny National Forest.
Experiencing the backcountry together is a great thing to share and will help your kids develop a whole new set of skills that will help them for the rest of their lives.
And remember right now your kids are probably slower than you but in a few years you'll have to train to keep up.
