If you’re looking for some fresh air—literally and figuratively—in your approach to leadership and life, you’re in the right place. Today, MaryLou joins her friend Matt Potts: outdoor enthusiast, passionate guide, retired CPA, author of the forthcoming book “Wild Places,” and all-around genuine soul. Matt’s got a remarkable story, from his Kentucky childhood adventures to leading men (and women!) into the wild for connection, healing, and some good, old-fashioned unplugging.
What is so great about Matt is how seamlessly he blends wisdom gleaned from the backcountry with real-world lessons—about courage, letting go, and the power of slowing down. The conversation wanders down trails both literal and metaphorical: topics include leadership, preparation, life transitions, and the importance of finding your own wild place, whether that’s in the Rockies or your own backyard.
