Adventurer and Expedition provider, Darren Clarkson-King, joined us for this episode of Outdoor Instructor Chat. As always really enjoyed the chat, couldn't stop laughing. Did get carried away at one point towards the end and forgot we were doing a podcast.  

Things that we discussed: Paddling all the rivers on Everest and K2, How do you know you are ready for a trip? How to spot an Outdoor Instructor? Is being uncomfortable part of working in the outdoors? Working in media, sponsorships and some Quickfire(ish) Questions.  

Again, a MASSIVE THANKS to Darren. Make sure to find him online, I've made sure to include plenty of links including his youtube channel, website and social media. Plus some links to the other things we discussed.

I started in the outdoor pursuits industry because I can see the potential that it has to make a positive difference to those we work with.   My hope is that by providing instructors with additional tools and resources they need they will be better equipped to unlock the potential of others and inspire them to do even more!  This is why Instructor 101 exists today! So that you can make an even BIGGER impact on those you work with.  Please share, practise and enjoy what you have learnt. Keep Inspiring and continue to develop as an instructor.
