Episode 10. Icing on the cake

In this episode of the WILD One podcast, we sit down with our friend Liza to talk about her incredible stoke for life, endurance sports, and what it's like trying new things as an adult - & after a hip replacement!! Liza shares stories from races, adventures, and backpacking trips that have shaped her journey, while reminding us that the real reward is the life you build along the way. Her perspective on adventure as simply the "icing on the cake" is inspiring, grounding, and something we know will stick with listeners long after the episode ends. This conversation is full of honesty, resilience, laughter, and a reminder that it's never too late to chase new experiences, challenge yourself, and stay curious. We wanna be like Liza when we grow up.

Episode 9. Kate Melberg

Episode 9 of the WILD Onez Podcast features a conversation with our bestie Kate.  We get into her background in endurance sports and how those early experiences shaped the way she approaches challenges today. From there, we dive into the evolving relationship between movement, mindset, and everyday life—especially when things don’t go in a straight line. We also explore how finding something new can shift your perspective in unexpected ways, and what it can look like to reconnect with sport on your own terms. This one is reflective, a bit chaotic and centered around growth, change, and figuring things out as you go.
