A Guide in Life - The Outmap Podcast
Welcome to A Guide in Life — the official Outmap podcast hosted by Charlie Boscoe, Outmap’s Head of Content and a lifelong mountain obsessive. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to build a life around outdoor adventure, backcountry exploration, and the mountains we love, this show is for you. Each episode dives deep into the real stories behind the people who shape mountain culture — from IFMGA mountain guides and elite athletes to ski patrollers, avalanche experts, filmmakers, and outdoor creators who’ve turned passion into purpose. We explore how they made the bold decisions that led them to a life lived in the mountains, uncovering the habits, risks, sacrifices, and unexpected moments that guided their journeys. A Guide in Life isn’t just a podcast about skiing, climbing, or backcountry sports — it’s about choosing a path that reflects who you are. Expect honest conversations, practical wisdom, and plenty of inspiration to fuel your next adventure, whether you’re planning a big trip, switching careers, or simply dreaming of more time outside. New episodes drop every two weeks. Plug in during the drive to the trailhead, on your hike, or wherever your adventures take you — and join us as we learn from the people who have made the mountains their life’s work.

In this episode of the Outmap Podcast, we sit down with Emilie Mann, an ultrarunner whose approach to endurance is as much about mindset as it is about miles. Emilie shares what draws her to long days in the mountains, how she prepares for the physical and mental demands of ultrarunning, and why moving efficiently through wild terrain is both a skill and an art.
We talk about pacing, resilience, and the quiet discipline required wh...
On today's episode we're talking to Rob Benton (https://www.ecrinscollective.com/), a passionate climber, skier, kayaker and guide. Rob had a great career in the UK but was hungry to spend more time in the mountains, so he took a chance and moved out to the southern French Alps. The plan was to give it a couple of years and see how it went, and 20 years later he's still there, still excited and still passionate. We got into his sto...
Today on the Outmap podcast we're talking to Tom Odell - a man with enough passion to power a house! Tom is a smart guy, as his academic qualifications prove, but it's his drive and determination that really stand out. He doesn't know where he's going, he doesn't know how, but he'll get there. Be ready for half an hour or psyche, self-belief and pure joy.
In this episode we dive into Project Sisu with Pyry Hyppölä — a backcountry skier and adventurer who’s got BIG plans in Norway this season. Pyry’s Project Sisu isn’t about chasing aesthetic lines or accumulating vertical meters (though there’s plenty of that in Lyngen) — it’s a mindset rooted in ethics, perseverance, resilience, and the kind of determination the Finns call sisu.

His passions include backcountry skiing, avalanche studies, expedition planning, and exploring how culture and decision-making intersect in extreme environments.

Today's guest is Mountain Guide Tom Grant, a long-time friend of Charlie's, and one of the most accomplished ski mountaineers on the planet. We talk about Tom's life in the mountains and how he got here from East Sussex!
It's been an amazing journey so far, and as you'll come to understand when you hear the psyche he has for climbing and skiing, he's not stopping anytime soon.
Our first guest is IFMGA Mountain Guide Evan Stephens, owner of Zenith Mountain Guides in Squamish, BC, and a passionate climber and skier. From avalanche forecasting to owning a ski lodge and, now, running a successful guiding business, it's been a life and a career built on passion for the mountains.
