This week's episode with Greg McFadden, owner and guide at Canyons River Company on Idaho's iconic Middle Fork and Main Salmon Rivers, takes you into the transformative experience of "life without mirrors" on multi-day trips.

Greg shares the art of building trust on the river, the delicate balance of leadership and vulnerability, and the unique responsibilities that come with guiding.

He also shines a light on the progress of LGBTQ+ representation in paddlesports and the critical need to create safe, inclusive spaces for underserved and marginalized communities in the outdoors.

We also explore the importance of self-care, setting boundaries, and Greg's exciting plans to deepen community engagement and support.
