By Land Podcast
The By Land Podcast is an interview-based show about the outdoors and the people who spend their time there. I talk with people from different backgrounds and walks of life to learn from their experiences, perspectives, and adventures.
I cover everything from backpacking and hunting to conservation, personal growth, and what it means to make the most of our time outside.
My hope is that each conversation leaves you with something useful, something to think about, or simply a little inspiration for your own adventure.
Thanks so much for being here. I really appreciate it.
-Emory, By Land
P.S. I hope you come back and tell me all about your adventure.

#177 Turning Setbacks Into Summits with Tia Banks
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, I sit down with Tia Banks, a former professional athlete turned mountaineer, resilience expert, and motivational speaker. Tia’s journey is one of resilience, self-discovery, and mental toughness, and in our conversation, she shares how learning to manage setbacks helped her transition into a new passion.
From growing up in Nebraska to inspiring thousands through her speaking tour, her story is proof that adversity can be a stepping stone to something greater. Tia explains that a "setback is the setup."
Key Takeaways:
- The power of self-talk – What we tell ourselves matters in the hardest moments.
- Resilience is built, not given – Hardship creates opportunities for personal growth.
- The outdoors is transformative – Mountains provide a unique space for reflection and challenge.
- Community is essential – Finding support in the hardest moments can make all the difference.
