Have you ever wanted to lead a life of adventure and giving back? This episode is part 1 of a 2 part talk with our friend Katie Corlett about how she has rejected the normal path to live a life of travel, adventure and humanitarian work. Katie has travelled all over the world making a point to getting to know a country and its people. We talk about working at a refugee camp in Turkey, rebuilding in Mexico after an earthquake and facing down a grizzly bear with a shovel.
Stay tuned for part 2 where we discuss our attempted thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail.

Ep. 28: Living Your Truth - Alex Vaillancourt
Saturday Feb 15, 2020
Saturday Feb 15, 2020
When we talk about adventure on the show it is usually about things like backpacking or rock climbing, but in this episode, the adventure is much closer to home. Our guest, Alex Vaillancourt, talks about the challenges and rewards of finding and living his truth. Born female, Alex is transitioning to male while working in the demanding field of industrial rope access. Most people only hear about transgender folks when it comes to political issues so it is easy to forget that they are real people facing obstacles most of us can never truly understand. Join us as we find out what it is like to transition, how the world has reacted and how we can make life less difficult for trans people.

Ep. 27 - The Faces Of Mental Health
Saturday Feb 01, 2020
Saturday Feb 01, 2020
Just in time for Mental Health Awareness month, we tackle the subject on Ep. 27. Our friends Alyssa and Eric join us to talk about our struggles with depression, anxiety and overall wellbeing. Unlike our last episode with them, it is a little less funny but we go a lot deeper, talking about things that are hard for most people to say out loud, us included.
This is a long episode but we cover things like how diet and exercise affect mood, our strategies for dealing with mental issues, reprogramming your brain, concussions, and how mental health isn't separate from general health. Your brain is part of your body and you need to look after it.
This is a deeply personal episode which we hope helps people know they aren't alone. Everyone will face emotional struggles and mental health issues at some point in their life. Don't be afraid to speak about it and ask for help.

Sometimes we are serious but sometimes we need to laugh. In this episode, we had a plan but when we started to record, it went out the window because we were having too much fun. We met Alyssa and Eric at the Beaver Valley Climbing Festival and wanted to talk to them about climbing, building a lifestyle of adventure and their cool camper van conversion. We also tell stories, get philosophical and discuss how the outdoors and climbing help with mental health. If you want a laugh then give us a listen.

Ep. 10 - Eric Sigurdson- The Zen of Climbing
Wednesday May 15, 2019
Wednesday May 15, 2019
Rock climbing is fun but it is so much deeper. In episode #10 we are joined by Eric Sigurdson, a climber, a gym co-owner (The Core Climbing Gym), a family man and a full-time IT guy. Climbing is one of those activities that you go down the rabbit hole. The physical demands of an athlete. The flexibility of a Yogi. The strategy of a chess master topped off with the self-mastery of a Buddhist monk. We geek out and hopefully, you get some takeaways that you can use to make both your climbing and your life better.

You don't always get to choose your own adventure. Sometimes fate steps in and chooses for you. While this podcast is about finding ways to add adventure to your life, it's also about life itself. The lessons learned in one challenge often apply to all of them. This episode we talk to Amy C. about how she has dealt with tragedy and discover what it is that makes her want to keep going. Her story is both heart wrenching and inspiring, while also laced with a sarcastic sense of humour. Join us as we learn what life after death is like.

We have a unique relationship with fear. It can be what pushes us but also what holds us back from pursuing our dreams. This is even more so in the outdoors. This episode we talk all about our fears and how to control them. From bears to heights, we cover a lot of ground. Overcoming your fears is transformative.
