In this episode of Life in Motion, Jeremy sits down with Allison Abbasi of 37 North Expeditions to explore how time outside can reshape the way we connect, grow, and lead.

Allison shares how 37 North uses guided outdoor experiences — from corporate retreats and youth programs to nature therapy outings — to help people unplug, slow down, and show up fully. By stepping away from screens and comfort zones, participants discover confidence, clarity, and deeper connection with both nature and each other.

This conversation is a reminder that the outdoors isn’t just a backdrop for adventure — it’s a powerful tool for building resilient teams, empowered youth, and stronger communities.
