By Land Podcast
This podcast is about learning how to have better backcountry experiences and understanding why spending time outside matters in the first place.
I have conversations with people from diverse outdoor backgrounds to learn from them and hear their personal stories. I cover everything from backpacking, hiking, hunting, conservation, and outdoor skills to the broader role the outdoors can play in our health, perspective, and everyday lives.
Thanks for listening!

#98 - Climbing Mount Everest and Learning To Be Uncomfortable with Woody Hartman
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Woody Hartman wasn’t expecting to climb Mount Everest in 2019, but sometimes life takes some exciting turns and before you know it, you’re doing something you never thought you would.
On this episode, we dive into how Woody found himself on the summit of Everest, what it took to get there, and what it all means now that it’s over. This is no doubt one of my favorite conversations because Woody is about as grounded as they come and allows us to peer into how he’s learned to adapt to changing life circumstances. He also walks us through his journey through how he learned to be comfortable being uncomfortable and why it’s so important to dream bit, take risks, and use our goals as a catalyst for other adventures and life situations.
You’ll love this episode with Woody!
