One of the best ways to reach people is through stories and your voice. Stories enable you to describe your message in vivid detail. Your voice also allows for a more intimate connection with your listener.
Maya Angelou said: “Words mean more than what is set down on paper. It takes the human voice to infuse them with deeper meaning”
Podcasting is an opportunity for your business to inspire, motivate, and yes sell more, using your voice!
Problem
I’m hearing from a lot of Outdoor Businesses that there are Three things everyone is looking for and most aren’t getting:
1. More Customers
2. Increased Sales
3. Stronger engagement
Your Podcast Will Deliver
Product Origin
I discovered podcasting while commuting to my day job and haven’t looked back. I was traveling 45 minutes one way and had lots of windshield time to listen to podcasts. This was when podcasting was starting its growth phase.
Podcasters were beginning to hit their stride and even become famous. John Lee Dumas, Pat Flynn, and others were becoming household names. One of my favorites is the Tim Ferris Show, you might recall Tim from his book The Four Hour Work Week. He basically conducts interviews with his buddies and a wide variety of guests he’s met through his travels, research, investing, and such. He shares their stories, offers advice, and delivers interesting conversations.
As I was mindlessly staring through the windshield one day it hit me . . . hell, I can do this and share all the stories and tips from the interesting, active, smart people in the Outdoor and Adventure business. Thus The Outdoor Biz Podcast was born enabling me to 10X my reach, and help brands, individuals, and outdoor/adventure businesses launch successful podcasts of their own.
Solution
How I leveraged 20 years of Experience and Connections:
My extensive experience in guiding and leadership has taught me to effectively plan and manage itineraries, operations, budgets, guides, vendors, and outfitters for paddling, trekking and photography adventures in California, Utah, Alaska as well as sea kayaking in Baja Mexico. North America is only one of the seven great land masses in this world and I’ve been fortunate to get a taste for six of them. I have explored Antarctica, the Karnali River in Nepal, the Caucasus Mountains in the Republic of Georgia near the border of Russia, the Marsh Fork of the Canning River in the Arctic, the Tatshenshini River in Alaska and too many adventures in North America to list. These travel adventures have proved invaluable in guiding me to develop award-winning outdoor equipment that speaks to the needs of the individual explorer.
- Your sound, your tone, your pitch, your inflection, excitement, concern are each unique to you. Listeners can tell from listening when you are excited, serious, or simply stating the obvious. They only get that from hearing your voice, and listening is “always” available to them.
- Yes, you’re right they can also get those attributes from your videos. The catch here is they can’t “always” watch your videos. Can’t watch while they drive, or hike, or bike. I think you get my point, they can’t “always” watch. Listening is “always” available to them.
- Where you’re followers are and what your followers are doing is irrelevant to podcasting. They can download your show to their phone, put their earbuds in, and listen everywhere. Listening is an “always on” feature in humans.

If you are not completely satisfied with your investment, you may request a refund on unused coaching time. (It is rare, but it does happen that a coach and client may be ill-matched and it is best for both parties to go their separate ways.) However, there are no refunds on used Coaching and Consulting time, because once I spend time with you, I can’t get it back. I can’t guarantee results in a coaching or consulting relationship because results depend on your openness to being coached and your willingness to do the work. And if you’re here, I’m confident you’re willing and ready to do the work.
Regarding our Done for You services we will work to make it MORE than you hoped it would be.
