Stephanie Pearson is a freelance writer, contributing editor to Outside magazine, and author of "100 Great American Parks," published by National Geographic. As one would expect, we talk about her travels, outdoor gear and her super cool assignments. Stephanie reveals she’s much more than a writer about places, but a writer who believes she has a responsibility to the natural world. When, where and how much we travel are questions infused into her work given the impact of travel on the planet.

Watch for Stephanie’s feature in National Geographic this March or April!

The “humble hustle” of the Midwest brought Scott Rokis to MN. In 2016, Scott ditched corporate life and followed his heart to adventure and make art. Scott is a sage as much as a photographer encouraging us to pay attention to our feelings and take action when the moment calls. Be sure to listen to the end for free photography advice!
