In this episode, I sit down with Steven Reinhold, The Appalachian Adventure Company Co-Founder + Steward of the Stoke, who has been a force in the outdoor industry for many years. He is an avid explorer and adventure philanthropist who has been fortunate to pursue his passions around the globe. After climbing several of North America's most iconic peaks with the industry's leading guide services, Steven determined that mountain guides were the coolest people on the planet. One of the greatest outcomes of all of these experiences - he realized he truly found his best self while climbing mountains.

Steven felt compelled to bring those types of skills & experiences home to his roots in Appalachia. He wanted to create a company that represented his roots and celebrated the hills and hollers he called home. So he formed The Appalachian Adventure Company in 2014 to share the stoke of adventure with everyone. 

In 2022, the Company underwent a serious rebranding effort and refocused their energy to further pursue positivity through our endeavors. What you’ll hear in this episode is the heart and creation of their now renowned Content Creators Camps, as well as other out-of-the-box type experiences at the heart and core of The Appalachian Adventure Company. What started as a passion project for one adventurer has transformed into a force for good within the outdoor industry and beyond!
