Start Your Life Again: Cori Brago
April 15, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 40.1 MBToday my guest is Cori Brago, a foodie butcher-turned-merchandiser-turned-angler/mentor/killer fundraiser, and boy mom, and amazing human. This one’s an interesting counterpoint to last week's episode with Laurie Watt. Laurie had a feeling she couldn’t shake that made her keep seeking more in the outdoors. It’s not like she was miserable in her life, she was happy, but knew that was some small part of her that was unfulfilled, and she decided to go for it. Cori’s story is also about findi...

Remember You're Capable: Laurie Watt, Mooney Mountain Guides (GGW044)
April 08, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 41.6 MBToday I’m talking to Laurie Watt, the Women’s Program Coordinator for Mooney Mountain Guides in Concord, NH. Laurie is an AMGA Single Pitch Instructor and Apprentice Alpine Guide, a Wilderness First Responder, and an accomplished hiker and climber. And guess what, she didn’t get serious about doing any of this until about six years ago. When she was in her LATE 40s - yes, you read that right. I wish I could say I was the first person to be sharing Laurie’s inspiring story, but NH Women Ma...

Take a Moment When You Need It: Jen + Bri Dostie, Confluence Collective Encore
March 25, 2021 09:00 - 45 minutes - 31.2 MBToday’s episode is a bit of a departure from my normal format - this week, to be honest, I really need to take a moment. My schedule’s been jammed, my tech has been fighting me, the greater world around us continues to be an exhausting mess of violence, hate crimes, hate speech, you name it - if you’re inclined to be glum at this time of year, there’s been no shortage of things to enhance that feeling. So I’m taking a moment to reflect, to plan, to try to move forward with more intention a...

March 18, 2021 09:00 - 52 minutes - 33.2 MBOh my gosh, I had too much fun with this one...I can’t help it, when I meet someone who gets as fired up as I do to talk about OTHER cool women, and she tells great stories, and then you throw some snowmobiling into the mix, I basically lose my sh*t. My guest today is Debi Gould, the brains and energy and branding genius behind Outdoor Women. Debi seems hell-bent on avoiding the spotlight, but her own story is fascinating - she’s part of a long family legacy of guides, sporting camp owners...

February 18, 2021 10:00 - 1 hour - 43.3 MBLooking to shake off some of your mid-winter doldrums with an inspiring conversation? I think this one will knock your socks off. And they’d better be Darn Tough socks, because Murphy Robinson of Mountainsong Expeditions was talking to me from their tiny house homestead in central Vermont. I didn’t have time to dig into the whole tiny house thing (which will definitely be fodder for a future episode, because I’m completely fascinated by composting toilets and solar arrays and the like).

January 28, 2021 10:00 - 55 minutes - 36.9 MBLast spring, when I started contemplating taking my curiosity online and into your earbuds, I was checking out various interview-focused podcasts for ideas and inspiration. Even though I was finding my conversations with so called ‘regular people’ hugely interesting, I wasn’t sure anyone else would, or that I could make an actual podcast out of someone like your next-door neighbor doing cool sh*t. But then I found the Part-Time Athletes Podcast and binge-listened, and I knew I was on to some...

My guests are D and Elena, two of the foundational members of an online community called Fly Girl Global that managed to grow like crazy (the good kind of crazy) during the pandemic shutdown. As you’ll hear, these two young ladies love to fish, but were having a hard time finding local girlfriends to fish and tie flies with. I tend to be the Grinch w...

November 19, 2020 10:00 - 46 minutes - 30.3 MBEven if you’re not in the hospitality or travel or restaurant business, you can appreciate what a craptastic year 2020 has been for these industries. While I’m pretty ambivalent about the impact COVID has had on the Hiltons and Marriotts of the world, I’ve been super bummed to see some of the small businesses I know personally, or admire from afar, struggle, and in some cases throw in the towel, as a result of market conditions they had no way of predicting or preparing for.

Make a List, and Hike It Twice: Alexandra and Sage Herr, The Granite Gals
November 05, 2020 10:00 - 52 minutes - 34.4 MBToday I’m turning the spotlight on two amazing young women who are the future - and for that matter, the present - of White Mountain hiking. Alexandra and Sage Herr, aka 'The Granite Gals', and their mom Trish, are rock stars of the New Hampshire hiking community. You might guess that it was because Trish was an avid hiker in her youth, but apparently that wasn’t the case. Instead, an overactive 5 year old Alex drove Trish into the woods, looking for an outlet that would bring some quiet an...
