February 25 81: Author And Adventurer Alastair Humphreys On Taking The First Step And Acting On Your Dreams
Alastair Humphreys is a British Adventurer and Author. He has been on expeditions all around the world, traveling through over 80 countries by bicycle, boat and on foot. In 2012 he was named as one of National Geographic’s Adventurers Of The Year.
Alastair has completed numerous epic human-powered journeys all across the globe. But after becoming a father, he realized that heading off into the wild for months at the time just wasn’t a viable option anymore.
That’s when he started exploring the concept of microadventures—shorter, more local adventures that still offer an escape to the wilderness but without the need to ski to the South Pole or go live in a cabin in Patagonia.
As an author, speaker and creative, Alastair is all about trying to encourage people to get outside and leave their comfort zone. This quest is what inspired his latest creative project, the ‘Living Adventurously’ Podcast.
In this episode, Alastair talks about the process behind writing and publishing his latest book, The Doorstep Mile. He also shares his tips on leveraging social media to engage with your audience, building momentum towards your dreams, creating habits that stick and building adventure into your busy daily life.

February 23 80: Going All In On The Thing You Love, With Ski The Whites Creator, Andrew Drummond
Andrew Drummond is a New Hampshire-based mountain athlete specializing in backcountry skiing and SkiMo racing. He is also a race director, ski and running events organizer and the owner of Ski The Whites, a New Hampshire-based alpine touring ski shop.
Andrew has become known as the go-to backcountry skiing expert in the White Mountains and attributes this to spending as much time as possible challenging himself in the mountains, challenging himself to do things that maybe hadn’t been done before, and also investing time in sharing his experiences.
After taking a break from the corporate world, Andrew decided to design a life and career around his passion for the mountains and for alpine touring. It took a few years to figure out exactly what this would look like but in 2016 Andrew started ‘Ski The Whites’, a community and shop dedicated to outfitting backcountry enthusiasts with the proper gear and resources for the wild experiences they craved. He also organizes skiing and trail running events and recently launched the ‘Weekend Beta’ podcast via a Patreon page.
In this episode, we talk to Andrew about leaving the traditional path to pursue your passion, establishing yourself as an expert in your field, starting an online reseller store and running a business without losing sight of your original goal, and even some of the barriers to the backcountry from a cost and safety perspective.
