53: Sarah Yancey on the Practicalities of Living the Dream

Sarah and Mark Yancey bought Boulder Hut Adventures, a remote backcountry ski hut in the stunning Purcell Mountains in Southeast British Columbia, Canada. During the ski season, they and their two kids live there hosting guests for a week of powder ski touring. The kids are homeschooled and Adventure Journal called Mark and Sarah "the most awesome parents in the history of parenting.” It sounds like a dream come true, doesn’t it? Today I talk to Sarah and she shared with us how the vision came to be, and how they made the idea happen. We talk about the practicalities of living a dream, running a business, raising kids, trends in the backcountry ski lodge industry, and the higher purpose of it all - the greater impact on the people who visit, the environment in which they operate, and their legacy of course, those lucky kids, Grace and Alden.   With that, let’s listen in and gear up for what’s next.    Where to Find Sarah Boulder Hut Adventures Adventure Journal declares the Yanceys the most awesome parents in the history of parenting   About Lisa Gerber: Lisa advises CEOs and senior level management on how to use the power of storytelling and effective communication to influence action and bring ideas to life.   She guides companies through the digital maze of constantly changing tools to build discovery, loyalty, and ultimately help them achieve their own big leaps.   When she is not in her office, she might be out skiing or trail running.
