By Land Podcast
An interview-based podcast that explores the world of outdoor recreation, including topics such as backpacking, thru-hiking, hunting, mountaineering, nutrition, conservation, personal development, and more.
Most episodes are conversations with people from different walks of life and outdoor backgrounds, giving me the opportunity to learn from their experiences and perspectives. Other episodes are practical field notes on skills, gear, and lessons learned, while some are deeper reflections on ideas, questions, and observations from my own journey.
This podcast is a record of my time in the outdoors, what I'm learning, and what I continue to learn.
I hope each episode leaves you feeling inspired and encouraged to pursue whatever adventure you're dreaming of.

P.S. I hope you come back and tell me all about your adventure.

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.
