| 0:00.0 | Hey, folks, welcome to the Adventure Sports Podcast. |
| 0:23.2 | I'm your host, Mason. |
| 0:24.3 | I have been putting together these trips for a couple years with friends. |
| 0:29.3 | A lot of times, it's a lot of dudes. |
| 0:31.4 | It's a lot of my friends and a lot of their friends. |
| 0:34.0 | And, you know, a lot of us have kids. |
| 0:36.6 | And it's just kind of more times than not, it's like |
| 0:40.0 | a lot of guys on these trips. And so I didn't mean for that to happen, but it's just kind of |
| 0:44.7 | naturally happened. And so I've been talking to my wife, Emily, about this, who also wants to do |
| 0:49.8 | her own adventures that we do have different, you know, desires when it come to how we want to do |
| 0:55.2 | adventures. Like it's not, we don't want to do them completely the same. Or she came up with this |
| 0:59.7 | idea. Let's focus on a women's only adventure since mine or more or less, me and my friends, |
| 1:05.3 | and it just ends up being a lot of guys, a lot of masculine energy in these trips. So she's going to offer the women's focused experience on those off week, months that I'm not doing my trips, |
| 1:18.3 | so that there's just opportunity for the moms in these groups or the ones that don't want to just go with a bunch of dudes. |
| 1:24.5 | And because I will say what we have going with our group is awesome. It's great and fantastic, |

| 1:34.5 | get that. And so we're being more intentional about which trips are family focused or just |
| 1:39.5 | couples focused or guys focused. And Emily is going to be playing these women's and it's got me thinking |
| 1:44.8 | about just the opportunity for women in adventure sports and I saw that we had this episode |
| 1:50.8 | and that we did gosh back in 2018 and I wanted to feature it with Audra Stanley and there's been |
| 1:57.0 | some stuff in the news recently of some major I'm not going to throw anyone under the bus but major brands in the outdoors that have just there's they some stuff in the news recently of some major, I'm not going to throw anyone under the bus, but major brands and the outdoors that have just, they've cut off their women's teams for certain sports. And I think that's wild and crazy. It's like happening right now. And it's just been coming up a lot. So when I saw that we had this, I've actually never heard this episode all the way through. So I'm going to be |
| 2:18.1 | listening to it with you. But I did listen to it to hear, you know, what Adra was saying. And I, I would like to |
