137. Travel is Not Sustainable with Breanne and Dave Kiefner
If you listen to this podcast, I assume you love outdoor adventure and travel. Although we may love to visit new places and schedule new adventures each year, it’s no secret that traveling is not sustainable.
So, in episode 137 of the Outdoor Minimalist podcast, we answer the question: if travel isn’t sustainable, should we stop doing it?
To help us answer this question and how we can maximize the positive impacts of travel, we hear from Breanne and Dave Kiefner, two travel experts and the founders of Root Adventures.
Utilizing her decades of experience in the adventure travel and hospitality businesses, Breanne sought to create something fundamentally different. The company has continued evolving in line with Breanne’s mental health journey. The COVID travel pause allowed her to redefine the company with all that she learned along her journey. Her history of PTSD, Dyslexia, and Depression continues to define her vision and leadership style as company CEO as she infuses vulnerability through all aspects of the company. Now, with over two decades of experience in the industry, she is confident that this work is precisely what has been missing from adventure travel.
As an adventurer at heart, Dave has a deep understanding of the transformative nature of travel. Applying his expertise in business operations and continuous improvement to manage the backend of Root, he also guides our sustainability practices. His enthusiasm for others to experience transformative travel is palpable.

136. How Sustainable (and Ethical) is Down? with Daniel Uretesky
In episode 136 of the Outdoor Minimalist podcast, we are tackling the highly requested topic of Down insulation.
If you remember, back in episode 101 we spoke with Mike Somberby from Duckworth about how ethical and sustainable wool production actually is. Well, today, we take a similar approach to learn about down insulation.
And to all of our vegan listeners: be ready for what you learn, because it just might surprise you.
To help me uncover the ethics and sustainability of down insulation production and use, I sat down to chat with Daniel Uretsky.
After earning his law degree from Georgetown and working four years as a litigator, Daniel returned to join the family business in 2010 as General Counsel. In his years at ALLIED, Daniel’s business-savvy and socially conscious leadership has helped ALLIED expand its already prestigious partner base, which now reads as a veritable who’s who in the outdoor and home fashion industries.
And now as President, he has piloted a wide range of environmental impact efforts and advocated for animal welfare initiatives in-house and across the industry – even spearheading what has become the industry’s largest animal welfare standards like the Responsible Down Standard (RDS) and Traceable Down Standard (TDS).

135. Glass vs. Aluminum Packaging: Which is More Sustainable? with Jake Bilbro
In episode 135 of the Outdoor Minimalist podcast, packaging design takes center stage.
Packaging is often at the top of many consumers' minds regarding waste, and we've discussed what goes into changing packaging, the issues with plastics and compostables, and how companies can reduce their packaging altogether.
But today, we're critically examining one type of packaging often hailed as an eco-hero: glass.
More specifically, we compare the sustainability and functionality of glass versus aluminum packaging within the world of wine.
To help break down the differences, Jake Bilbro joins me.
With winemaking in his blood and the outdoors in his heart, Jake created Revelshine with the hope of bringing wine beyond the boundaries of the traditional table in a sustainable manner, celebrating the beauty of the world and the people around us.

134. Impact Investing: Align Investments with Your Values with Laura Lynch
In episode 134, we explore a new topic on the show: impact investing. In one of the very first episodes of this podcast, we discussed how living sustainably can actually save you money, but what are you actually doing with the money you save?
Investing can be a big undertaking and is a topic that many people often avoid (me included). But aligning investments with my values instead of investing in companies that actively contribute to environmental degradation made this topic a bit more on brand.
Since I am far from an expert in this arena, I had the pleasure of hosting Laura Lynch.
Laura is the founder of The Tiny House Adviser, a financial planner, podcast host, and tiny house enthusiast. With her personal experience and passion for tiny living, Laura is dedicated to helping others find financial freedom and happiness through alternative lifestyles.
