Real Conversations

So many podcasts, especially in the business space feel fake and forced. Rachel and her guests have real, genuine conversations that give actionable advice. Can’t recommend it enough!

★★★★★

Amazing podcast

An amazing podcast that gets past the gear and conditioning and looks at what adventurers are thinking and who they are as people. Can’t wait for more episodes!

★★★★★

Mini memoirs for your ears

I’m devouring all things female hiking right now and stumbled upon this podcast. After reading several book memoirs, I love having these accounts so accesible and portable.

★★★★★

This show make me want to hike!

I listened to this show as I hiked this morning, and barely realized how much my legs hurt because of how into this show I was. Rachel spotlights such interesting guests and does a great job of brining out the best in them!

★★★★★

Uplifting!

I just started listening to Rachel’s podcast and I love it!! I’m finishing up my 2nd thruhike right now and listening to like-minded hikers, travelers, and entrepreneurs as I walk is so uplifting. It helps me get out of my head and keeps me doing what I love! Great job, Rachel!

★★★★★

Travel Bug

This podcast brought my travel bug back! I love how y’all talk about how international travel is often less than domestic travel in the U.S. It’s so true!

★★★★★

So inspirational and authentic!

I’m a freelancer who loves podcasts about money, entrepreneurship, and travel. And The Guidebook is a go-to listen for me! Rachel’s raw conversations, inspiration, and tips are perfect for anyone who wants to learn more about freelancing, being a digital nomad, and/or chasing adventure.

★★★★★

Deep dives

The conversations Rachel has with her guests here open the door into who hikers, vanlifers, and entrepreneurs really are and how they react to themselves within a rather indifferent world. This is a great podcast for those people who like to see beyond the surface. For anyone struggling, even a little, with self-doubt and moving beyond it. Hear another’s story of transforming their hardships is incredibly empowering. It’s given me permission to do something I probably would’ve have done due to doubt.

★★★★★

Diverse guests

Rachel does a great job of finding a diversity of entrepreneurs and adventurers to talk with. I enjoy how conversational it is and you can tell that Rachel is constantly working towards improving the podcast and her interview skills. I can’t wait to see where this podcast goes in the future.

★★★★★

So good!

It’s refreshing to hear a podcast about trail life and digital nomading that’s hosted by a WOMAN. It feels like a fun conversation between friends in the same room as you.

★★★★★

This podcast ROCKS

This podcast is AMAZING!! I never knew how possible my dreams of thrhiking and working for myself could be until I started listening to this!! I’m inspired in so many ways. Thank you Rachel for creating this amazing space and to all of your guest for being so awesome!!
