Listeners get to hear full conversations rather than just sound-bites. I also love that you can learn about so much on podcasts, and on demand, anywhere \u2013 whether in a car, traveling, running or at the house doing chores. Lastly, I love the Jim Rohn quote that says you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. You can\u2019t always choose who you hang out with at work or your family, but you can choose to listen to and spend time with amazing people through podcasts.<\/p>\n<p><em>Nick<\/em>: Podcasts are incredibly accessible. You can listen anytime, anywhere. I listen when I cook, when I clean, on long drives. Stories are how we make meaning of the world\u2014and audio stories give our imaginations room to run and play.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s your wild idea?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Shelby<\/em>: My wild idea was to start a podcast and interview adventurers I loved. In the past, my wild idea was to quit my job in marketing to become a freelance writer and start my own consulting business while spending a lot more time surfing and doing more of what I loved. Today, my wild idea is just to keep putting out good content, have more meaningful connections with the people I work with, and to spend more time with people I love and on things that matter most.<\/p>\n<p><em>Nick<\/em>: To host and produce a podcast!<\/p>\n<p><strong>If someone was to \u201ctake it from you\u201d, what would you teach? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Shelby<\/em>: Surfing. I\u2019ve taught surfing for over 20 years and lately I\u2019ve been teaching people how to grow podcasts. In the future, I\u2019d love to host tech-free retreats where there\u2019s great live music, awesome healthy meals, and cooking classes, surfing, hiking, and rock-climbing with a few goal-setting sessions and TED-style talks thrown in.<\/p>\n<p><em>Nick<\/em>: Trail snacking.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do you opt outside?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Shelby<\/em>: I\u2019m pretty sure this is a line from a cheesy magnet my mom gave me, but I try to put my toes in the sand every day. I either run on the beach, surf, hike and lately I\u2019ve been going rock climbing. I\u2019m terrible at it and love it.<\/p>\n<p><em>Nick<\/em>: Climbing is closest to my heart \u2013 but there are tons of ways I get outside. Most of the time, opting outside doesn\u2019t mean some remote, back country excursion. I bike everywhere I can. I love evening hikes just outside of town. Sometimes I fly fish, but I\u2019m terrible at it. After this Q and A, I\u2019m heading out to a canyon outside the city to squeeze in a few afternoon climbs.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Download and subscribe to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rei.com\/blog\/tag\/wild-ideas-worth-living\">Wild Ideas Worth Living<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rei.com\/blog\/social\/take-it-from-me-podcast\">Take It From Me<\/a> today.<\/p>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This year, the REI Co-op released two podcasts\u2013Wild Ideas Worth Living and Take It From Me\u2013about people doing incredible things in the outdoors.
