Ski Instructor, Rowena Phillips
Welcome to ⟪About that outdoor job⟫ podcast where host Charlaine Jannerfeldt has conversations with those who’ve made the outdoors their living, so you can too. We’ll share their insights, observations, tips and why not a few of their best adventure stories.
In this episode she talks with Rowena Phillips about her experience in the ski industry working as an instructor and cofounding Matterhorn Diamonds ski & snowboard school in the ski town of Zermatt, Switzerland. She shares with us how she took what was once her holiday hobby and turned it into her livelihood. The passion that took Rowena to the Swiss Alps some 20 years ago is clearly still a huge part of her day-to-day. However, she does speaks about managing expectations when "living your dream"; addresses the challenges of making a sustainable living in a seasonal job; and shares the less sexy side of ski town living. She also shared some down-to-earth, or what she calls "uncool", advice for anyone looking to make a career out of ski teaching.

Entrepreneur and Founder of Alpine Parrot, Raquel Vélez
Welcome to ⟪About that outdoor job⟫ podcast where host Charlaine Jannerfeldt has conversations with those who’ve made the outdoors their living, so you can too. We’ll share their insights, observations, tips and why not a few of their best adventure stories.
In this episode she talks with with Raquel Vélez, outdoor apparel entrepreneur and founder of Alpine Parrot who was named one of Outside Magazine's Outsider of the Year 2021. Raquel shares how her love for the sport of skiing, which she only picked up in her late twenties, was the catalyst for her entrepreneurial journey into the world of outdoor apparel. Though she always knew she'd start her own company some day, doing so in the outdoor industry was not on her radar. Let alone the apparel industry. Raquel openly shared the challenges and difficulties she's face in a still "male and pale" sector but also what has made a difference in succeeding. Much of her great advice isn't only for the outdoor apparel industry but for anyone considering an entrepreneurial journey.
