Ep. 844: Surviving a 60-Foot Fall - Nichole Doane Jul 05, 2022

Show notes

A fated 60-foot fall while canyoneering resulted in Nichole Doane being airlifted to the very hospital where she worked as a trauma nurse. While enduring a shattered pelvis, a broken back, and a spinal cord injury, she recalls the fall as the "greatest moment of her life."

A film is being made of the experience. You can learn more below.

Ep. 843: Business Owner, Ultrarunner, and Full-Time RVing With Family of 5 - Revisited - Caleb Simpson Jun 30, 2022

Show notes

Originally aired on February 01, 2019

When Caleb sold his previous business, Bearded Brothers, his wife, Kristy, had the crazy idea of being debt-free and living in an RV full-time. Everyone around them thought they were nuts! Nearly 4 years into their journey, a lot of the people who called them crazy are now jealous of their freedom, lack of “stuff”, and ability to go where the wind takes them.

Caleb and Kristy are both small business owners who are able to operate their businesses out of the compact dwelling space. They have no end to their adventure in sight but admit that RV living with three kids and running businesses absolutely has its unique challenges, but it’s a tradeoff compared with a normal route in life.

Caleb is also an avid ultrarunner, taking the home and family to races all over the country. Instead of having to go to a stale hotel room after a long race, he can walk right into his house. Pretty cool!

Ep. 842: How a Retreat of Silence Became the Start of an Adventure - Tori Jarosh Jun 27, 2022

Show notes

Mountain town lady, Victoria Jarosh, better known as Tori, found herself at a Buddhist monastery in 2021. Tori is a busy-body and adventurer, so the art of doing nothing at the temple came difficult.

This is when she realized that if she succeeds in doing NOTHING during her 5 days there, it is still an accomplishment because it was accompanied with challenge. Tori believes that celebrating successes we encounter in everyday life is important. This could range from running 240 miles to fixing your bike on your own. So, she started the narrative style podcast series called No Handlebars: Stories of Everyday Success for a Better Life.

Show notes

Originally aired on Without Compromise

The thought of training for a 100-mile ultra intimidates most people, but for Olan Johnson, it’s a comfortably uncomfortable process.

Olan and wife, Ericka, recently welcomed a baby boy into the world and are so excited for the new family dynamic, even if it means less sleep and lots of challenges, much like an ultramarathon.

Listen in on today’s episode on how Athletic Brewing Ambassador, Olan Johnson, balances all of life’s many adventures and challenges, without compromise.

Ep. 840: Running 5,000 Miles Around the UK Coast - Elise Downing Jun 21, 2022

Show notes

Elise is a runner, author and all-round outdoors lover. In 2016 she became the first woman and youngest person to run self-supported around the coast of the UK – an adventure she was completely unqualified for, as an unexperienced runner whose athletic career consisted of one horrendous marathon dressed as a Crayola crayon. She is the author of best-selling book Coasting, which tells the story of her adventure and aims to show others that you don’t need to be the best at something to achieve something big. You just have to be the one who does it.

Buy her book, Coasting, at her website:

Ep. 839: Kayaking the Amazon from Source to Sea - Revisited - West Hansen Jun 16, 2022

Show notes

Originally aired October 21, 2019

West was born and raised in Texas and found his love of water at an early age. He was heavily involved in the water sports scene in Austin for years, organizing cleanups, races, etc. However, it wasn’t until his first trip out of the county, at the age of 46, that West decided to pursue an enormous expedition, paddling the entire length of the Amazon River.

This led West to organize The 2012 National Geographic Amazon Express Expedition, which was his first expedition. It started at the newly discovered/confirmed source of the Amazon, which added almost 100 miles to the river, and after 111 days, they made it to the Atlantic Ocean, 75 miles east of Belem, Brazil.

West is also the first to kayak Europe's longest river 2200 mile Volga River in Russia. In 2020 he and his group will be the first to kayak the entire Northwest Passage - 1,900 miles across the Canadian Arctic Archipelago with the “Arctic Cowboys”.

Ep. 837: Mountain Biking the 282 Munros of Scotland - Revisited - Sean Green Jun 09, 2022

Show notes

Originally aired - April 05, 2019

Today’s revisited episode features someone who’s balancing the delicate act of being an epic adventurer and a normal family man. Sean Green uses his precious time off work to climb and bike down the Munros of Scotland, a list of 282 mountain peaks that are scattered across the country.

Currently, Sean is approaching the halfway point of the project and it has been nothing short of a true adventure thus far. From terrible weather, broken vehicles, and totally decimated itineraries, there’s something all of us can learn from Sean, you don’t have to be a full-time adventure athlete to do incredible things.

We hope you enjoy this down-to-earth conversation and we hope you get out there and plan something yourself.

Ep. 836: How Injury Led to a Career in Outdoor Writing - Stacy Gold Jun 06, 2022

Show notes

Award-winning adventure romance author Stacy Gold would rather be on a river in the middle of nowhere than almost anywhere else. For fifteen years she worked as a commercial raft guide, river ranger, safety boater and kayak instructor in the southeast, Rocky Mountains and PNW. Since 1987 she’s run more than fifty rivers in three countries, including self-support kayaking the Grand Canyon.

While her “creeking” days are behind her, Ms. Gold’s basement is still stacked with play boats, squirt boats, a tandem, and a couple river runners—and they are not gathering dust. When she’s not busy kayaking, skiing, mountain biking, or hiking, with her husband and happy dogs, she writes stories about independent, capable women finding love and adventure in the great outdoors. Her latest novel, Wild at Heart, recently released.
