Description
The Honest Outdoors
Stories From the Frontier Within
The Honest Outdoors is a reflective storytelling podcast hosted by Mike Martin, creator of Project Mindfully Outdoors.
Through wilderness, history, personal reflection, and honest conversation, this podcast explores the questions that shape our lives.
What happens when the map no longer matches the landscape?
Who are we when the labels disappear?
How do we begin again when life takes an unexpected turn?
Each season journeys through themes of identity, resilience, connection, wonder, purpose, and the lessons hidden along life's trails.
Inspired by wilderness, shaped by experience, and grounded in the belief that some of life's most important lessons are discovered beyond the noise, The Honest Outdoors invites listeners to slow down, pay attention, and explore the frontier within.
This is not a podcast about having all the answers.
It's a campfire for the questions.
Hosted by Mike Martin.
Creator of Project Mindfully Outdoors.
Author of The Honest Wilderness: Finding Daniel Boone and the Frontier Within.
New episodes release bi-weekly.
Pull up a chair.
The campfire is just getting started.
