Jumping out of a plane isn't everyone's cup of tea, but would you do it if it could improve your wellbeing?
Experts say adventure sports like skydiving can have an immediate positive mental health impact.Â
But could the benefits be long-term rather than the immediate adrenaline rush?

Mario Molina is the Executive Director of Protect Our Winters (aka POW). POW was founded in the late 2000s by professional snowboarder Jeremy Jones. They've grown to 130,000 supporters that consist of passionate outdoor athletes motivated to protect the places they live and love from climate change. POW's goal is to give a voice to the outdoor sports community (or the Outdoor State, as they call it) and channel it into political will to help get energy transition and related climate change policies passed.
Mario has been working in climate for many years. Prior to POW, he was the international director of the Climate Reality Project, which was created by former Vice President Al Gore. Before that, Mario led strategy and programs as deputy director at the Alliance for Climate Education.
Politics generally follows culture, not the other way around. In other words, political movements grow from cultural movements. By harnessing people's love of outdoor recreation and helping them share stories of how they directly observe the world changing around them, POW is helping to channel the cultural agenda around climate change. And by giving their supporters tangible things to do, policies for which to advocate and candidates to support, they're seeking to influence actual outcomes that can make a difference. You'll want to listen to this one in its entirety as Mario has a bit of a surprising announcement at the end. Enjoy the show!

Hi everyone, it’s James La Barrie from Beyond Marketing. I’m excited to share a passion project that’s been rolling around in my brain for years! A new skydiving podcast called the 20 Minute Call!
This podcast is focused on interviews with the people I’m most curious about. I’ll be taking a deep dive with them, not just talking about their skydiving accomplishments, but getting to know them beyond the jumpsuit.
The 20 Minute Call is a podcast about the dreamers, boundary pushers, rebels and champions of the skydiving industry.
I believe everyone has a story and I’m thrilled to capture the stories from every perspective within the sport from Hall of Famers, World Champions, DZO’s, riggers, fun jumpers and instructors.
Your support is instrumental in making this project a success. So, I'm extending an invitation to you to be a part of this journey with me. Please follow The 20 Minute Call to ensure you stay connected and never miss an episode.
Another Tremula Network show, The Everyday Adventure Podcast hosted by Nicki Bass, has been shortlisted in the Wilderness Category of the Sports Podcast Awards 2023. Out of twelve podcasts shortlisted in this category, The Everyday Adventure podcast is one of only three podcasts with a women hosting/co-hosting shortlisted in the Wilderness category, one of only three UK-based shows, and it is the only show that mentions diversity and inclusivity in its description or 'why they should win' section. This goes to show the unbalance of podcasts in the outdoors and wilderness category. This is why representation and inclusivity are a core value of the Tremula Network.
We are passionate about opening up the outdoors to communities who are under-represented in this space and the podcast will continue to elevate stories from individuals and organisations who seek to overcome these barriers and change perceptions of what is possible.
In this episode you'll hear snippets from the three incredible women whose clips Nicki used for the entry:
Keri Wallace from Girls On Hills, Pammy Johal of Backbone CIC and Antarctic explorer and record-maker Preet Chandi.
Voting for the Sports Podcast Awards is open and the winning podcast will be selected by popular vote. If you have a spare 5 minutes, we would be incredibly grateful!

It's time to talk about money in the outdoor sector. I know there are individuals and groups having these conversations on a case-by-case level. We decided not to talk about this on the podcast until now because we didn’t want to be outing individual experiences with payment.
But in August, Matt Barr from the Looking Sideways podcast posted this:
And Matt and Soraya had a chat on Looking Sideways that spoke in part about money.
In this episode, I ask Matt more about the catalyst for posting that thread, and we pick apart the question itself. After our chat, you’ll hear some of the Looking Sideways podcast and then several talking heads.

The official title of this week’s guest is “Lead Adventurer”, and after our talk it’s abundantly clear that he’s earned the title. It was an honor to sit down with the host of the Adventure Sports Podcast and Athletic Brewing Company Lead Adventurer, Mason Gravley. He was recently hit by a truck while riding his bike and continued to ride the rest of the day....if that doesn’t make you listen then Im not sure what will.

Most brands today talk about 'purpose' as being central to what they need their brand to be. This is driven primarily by the fact that consumers today demand purpose from the brands whom they interact with, purchase, or make part of their world in various ways.
This week, Varun is joined by Sarvesh Shashi, Founder and CEO, Sarva, who's entire business is built on purpose - and the purpose is wellness.. Sarvesh talks about his love for cricket, adventure sports & theatre, dancing professionally for 5 years, jumping from the highest jumping-off point in the world, and all the other cool and amazing things he has done in his life. After all of that, he is a true yogi at heart, having founded his company, and talks about how Jennifer Lopez, yes, THE Jennifer Lopez, ended up investing in his dream. He also talks about his guruji's 7 year challenge for him, and how he has kept it going.
Tune in for an enriching conversation on what a business built around mindfulness is.

Swimrun 101
We got some great feedback from listeners that they wanted a primer on Swimrun. So this week we’ve released a special episode to cover all the basics about Swimrun.
What is Swimrun?
A Swimrun is a multiple-stage competition which involves participants running and swimming over a race course or loop-course that involves at least two transitions between the swim and run stages of the race. All equipment used by participants has to be carried all the way to the finish line. (Thanks Wikipedia!)
When was it invented?
The sport was invented in 2002 in Sweden when 4 friends made a bet at a bar about who could get from the Island of Utö to the Island of Sandhamn (more that 75 kilometers away across 26 islands) using just their “4 limbs.” It took them more than 24 hours to complete the distance and the rest is history!
Who is it for?
This sport is really for everyone. Having an endurance background is very helpful but not required. Swim experience is definitely required and comfort in open water is a must. In general though endurance swimmers, trail runners, etc. are well suited for these type of adventures. Similar to how Spartan races or other OCR events are great ways for Crossfitters to use their fitness in different ways, Swimrun offers endurance athletes a way for them to use their training in more of an adventure setting.
The sport is very welcoming and chill while still creating challenging experiences for participants. We definitely encourage folks to find their local races and support the race directors that are trying to grow the sport in the US. You can see a list of events on our website.
How does it work?
The whole point of the sport is to get from A to B as quickly as possible. The sport allows for things like hand paddles, pull buoys and fins to be used on the swim to help get this accomplished. We will discuss equipment for swimrun later in the show notes.
The sport is mostly team based and there are four categories at most events.
Solo: Kind of the anti-team category. More events are offering this option to help grow the sport and encourage participation from people who may not have access to a partner or couldn’t get one in time for an event. (We don’t recommend this, we think that one of the things that makes this sport special is the team aspect of it.)
Men’s, Women’s and Mixed Teams: These are all self-explanatory.
These categories compete on a course that’s either short, long or very long. The courses are either a loop course or point-to-point with alternating legs of running and swimming. Each race will have its unique challenges, whether elevation on the run, “swim-heavy” or “run-heavy” courses, participants can essentially select what suits their strengths or try something outside of their comfort zone.
Race strategy for each event will be different and teams need to make sure that they have planned for such things as pacing, nutrition and water currents. The longer the course, the more race strategy will play a role in having a successful event.
Partner selection is also important. You want to make sure that you and your partner are pretty compatible pace-wise. Since the sport requires that teams be tethered together on the swim, a gross mismatch of swim ability might be problematic.
What equipment is required?
There is definitely gear that is required for the sport. Whatever you bring to a race must be carried at all times by the teams. We will outline the key gear below:
Wetsuit: There are Swimrun specific wetsuits that are designed for running and swimming. There are a bunch of companies in the space that are making these types of wetsuits, and similar to triathlon or open water swimming wetsuits, each brand will have its own take on sizing, cut and neoprene thickness.
Pull Buoy: Our favorite swimrun accessory! Most are DIY’d to make sure that you can carry it while running with most efficiency. You can now buy pull buoys that are already set up for swimrun but we recommend that new athletes to the sport make their own. We see this as a rite of passage in the sport.
Tether: Yes, a tether. As mentioned above, during the swim legs of an event partners are expected to be connected via a 3ish meter tether so that they remain in contact. This takes some getting used to so we recommend practicing in open water with your partner. More on this later. The tether is made of paracord and also be easily DIY’d.
Shoes: Yes, you swim with shoes on. They make swimrun specific shoes but in general you want shoes that have good drainage and some decent tread on the soles since most of the run courses will be on trails.
Paddles: The last piece of a swimrunner’s arsenal in the water are hand paddles. Paddles in conjunction with a pull buoy are the most helpful things to get through the swim legs of an event quickly.
Multisport Watch: This isn’t mandatory but it’s helpful to know distances and the like. We like watches like the Garmin Fenix 5 that have a multi-sport setting specific for swimrun.
Personal Flotation Device: Athletes competing in solo categories are required to use one of these during the swim legs of a race for safety.
Some optional equipment for race include collapsible cups, shin guards, shin flotation sleeves and fins.
There are also some mandatory items that most races require teams to carry throughout a race. These include a tether, compass, whistle, course maps and a first aid compression bandage. Make sure to check your events race rules to make sure that you meet their requirements.
How do you train for it?
Basic endurance training is obviously required but we recommend race-specific training. Swimrun bricks in open water and covering terrain similar to the race course is helpful to being ready for the adventure on race day. For example, if a course is “swim-heavy” then some longer steady state swim sets to match the course.
We also recommend testing out and practicing with your gear to make sure that you can race well with whatever gear you will end up racing with. Swimming with a tether early and often can’t be overstated!

He shares what he learned about himself in writing the book and the through line of what he’s learned from the peak performance athletes whose stories he tells. We hear why Corey is most comfortable when he puts himself in uncomfortable opportunities. Find out why Corey always says yes when his daughter asks him to tell a story, and why he finds just as much joy in those everyday moments with his family as when hanging off a cliff on the other side of the world.
