Customer Reviews
Stunning and Inspiring
Loved the Rowing Across the Pacific show- the first I’ve listened to. The story telling and the production was wonderful. This story is one that definitely deserves to be told far and wide.
Inspiring and authentic
This is my absolute favorite podcast series! Shelby interviews such a diverse population of individuals, and draws out such inspiring and thoughtful perspectives about what it means to “live wildly”. I love that she doesn’t just focus on talking about impressive achievements (though there’s plenty of that too!), but really digs into understanding the mindset, challenges, and life tactics of her guests. Anyone, regardless of their lifestyle, can take away relatable life advice and areas of growth - surrounding myself with these episodes has helped me reflect on how I can dig deeper to live more intentionally and authentically to myself. Thanks Shelby!!
Big fan
Love the show. The stories here inspire me to get out there for my own adventures. Especially when I’m stuck in the car heading to my grind for the day. Helpful reminder that this life we life can be a wild and beautiful adventure if we put in the energy to make it that way.
