Episode Description: No Days Off – Life Behind the Climb with Mountain Guide Brandon

In this episode, we sit down with Brandon — a seasoned mountaineering guide whose life has been shaped by seasons, summits, and sacrifice. While most of us see the glory of a peak photo or the thrill of the climb, Brandon shares the raw truth of what’s often left behind at basecamp: birthdays, graduations, weddings… even funerals.

He opens up about the emotional weight of guiding — not just navigating the mountain, but also being a counselor, a motivator, and sometimes, the steady voice in someone’s most vulnerable moment. From the unrelenting pace of guiding season to the quiet stillness of an October off-season no one else shares, Brandon pulls back the curtain on the life of someone whose job is built around adventure — but whose heart often longs for the things he’s had to miss.

This is an honest, vulnerable, and deeply human look at the cost of chasing high places.
