This one means a lot to us.

After 37 episodes together, Sam is stepping away from More Than Outdoors.

Before turning the page, we sat down together one more time to look back at everything this podcast has become: the places it has taken us, the people we’ve had the chance to meet, the conversations that have stuck with us, and everything we’ve learned along the way.

We also talk openly about why Sam decided it was time to step away and an idea she’s been trying to live by:

Do less with more intention.

Most of all, this episode is about being grateful for what we’ve built together.

Thank you for 37 episodes, Sam. ❤️

And thank you to everyone who has watched, listened, shared an episode, or followed along since the beginning.

🎙️ Episode 37 is live now.

The first chapter of More Than Outdoors may be ending, but there’s still a lot more outdoors ahead. 🌲
