June 2nd, 2025 (Maine): Why I’m Hiking | Episode 5

Interview: Wayfinder | Episode 12

In today's episode, I sit down with my very first hiking partner—my daughter Haley, trail name "Wayfinder." Haley was right by my side from day one, navigating everything from the climb up Mount Katahdin through the grueling logs and bogs of the Hundred Mile Wilderness. Tune in to hear a high-level recap of June 2025 entirely from her perspective, tracking the highs, the hurdles, and what the experience of stepping onto the Appalachian Trail was truly like for her.
