Ep. 719: Expand Your Possible - Steve Cannon

Ruben Martinez wanted to do something that "forced" he and his friend to always be able to hang out. The idea they came up with? Glamping Hub, a travel booking platform similar to Airbnb, but for unique outdoor accommodations that give guests direct access to Mother Nature.  The idea grew! They went from around 8,000 listings a few years ago to nearly 40,000 today through their online platform.  I hope you enjoy our conversation about what Ruben's experience has been thus far with growing a company that connects thousands of people with the outdoors.  https://glampinghub.com/ https://www.instagram.com/glampinghub/?hl=en Save 20% off the best freeze-dried meals you’ll ever eat with Peak Refuel (@peakrefuel).

Anna-Marie Watson grew up in an outdoor-loving, adventurous family. The adventures continued as she served nearly a decade in the British Army. Upon leaving the military, she knew she did not want a standard job and "normal" life. So, what did she do? She flew to New Zealand to bicycle the country. This started a series of adventures that led her to compete in the world half Ironman, running (and winning second place female) the Marathon De Sables, and many other adventures. And she is not slowing down. She is back on to fill us in on the Ultra Trail Du Mont Blanc – a 171 km race around Mont Blanc. She offers coaching services as well through her company, Reach For More Coaching. She shares much about what it takes to build an adventure-focused lifestyle. rfmcoaching.com facebook.com/RFMCoaching twitter.com/RFMCoaching instagram.com/rfmcoaching Save 20% off the best freeze-dried meals you’ll ever eat with Peak Refuel (@peakrefuel).

Leaving a great job with good benefits to start a company that's technically illegal to operate out of your apartment is a big jump at best, completely irrational and foolish at worst. Today, Amy and Jordan wouldn't have it any other way with building Powder7, considered one of Outside Magazine's Best Places to Work. This episode is filled with humor, insight, and adventure, like the time Jordan beat Lance Armstrong by an inch in a half-Ironman race. I hope you enjoy this conversation around life, business, and adventure sports!

Today’s guest, Brandi Mueller, is an avid diver and underwater photographer. She’s dived in over 30 countries and works as an instructor for much of the year. Her passion for diving is infectious and her expertise has been featured in dozens of publications all over the world. Recently, she co-authored a book about her experience diving to see an underwater airplane graveyard where 150 American airplanes were dumped at the end of WWII in the lagoon of Kwajalein Atoll, Marshall Islands. The haunting pile of flightless planes were surprisingly photogenic and getting the location was half the adventure. Enjoy! The book, now available: The Airplane Graveyard: The Forgotten WWII Warbirds of Kwajalein Atoll www.brandiunderwater.com @brandi_underwaterwww.facebook.com/brandiunderwater Save 20% off the best freeze-dried meals you’ll ever eat with Peak Refuel (@peakrefuel).

The Smith's lead a unique life as it is. Training is a huge focus of much of their time in order to compete in triathlons all over the world. At one of these races, a harmless tube of chapstick would change the focus and fate of the way Matt competes, leading to a truly incredible experience for the couple and a change in purpose, perspective, and in life altogether.
