Today's podcast guest is Tom Smith, an adventure medic who's turned his love of the outdoors into a career that spans mountain fences, film sets, ski patrols and remote expeditions. Through his story we'll explore the moments that shape a path, the unexpected turns that force us to rethink "what's possible," and the quiet lessons that come from daring to stay curious.

Tune in to hear a calm, candid conversation that invites you to reflect on your own journey—without spilling the secrets just yet. 🌲✨

• Key resources for aspiring outdoor professionals – Aldo Kane's book, RedMed courses, and Shackleton's South

• Tom's vision for the adventure industry: less ego, more humility, and a return to genuine wanderlust
