Sophie Nolan on Building an Adventure Travel Company, Designing a Life Outdoors, and the Power of Community in Nature

About this episode

Sophie Nolan discusses her journey in building Sidetracked Adventures and the importance of community and nature in her life.

Sophie Nolan built Sidetracked Adventures from a simple desire to share the wild places she loved. In this conversation, she reflects on how she shaped a life around the outdoors, curiosity, and community. We talk about her early pull toward nature, the years she spent searching for a different path, and how guiding people into remote landscapes has changed her understanding of connection, comfort, and ambition. Sophie also shares what it’s really like to run an adventure company in a fast-paced world, how she learned to trust her own voice, and why people keep returning to wilderness experiences even as modern life becomes more digital and convenient. It’s a grounded, honest look at building a life that matches your values.
