Interview with Emily Woodhouse - Founder of Intrepid Magazine

December 3, 2019

I recently had the pleasure to interview Emily Woodhouse, someone who is well known and someone who has been somewhat of a pioneer in giving a voice to many women in the adventure / outdoor sports world.

Emily founded Intrepid Magazine (something I have mentioned before on this blog) and last week I interviewed her for my work blog which you can find here.

In the interview Emily talks about:

  • RUNNING A BUSINESS AS A SIDE GIG

  • THE MOTIVATION BEHIND STARTING YOUR OWN PROJECT

  • DEALING WITH THE BIGGEST PAIN POINTS

  • THE IMPORTANCE OF TAKING THE FIRST STEP

  • ADVICE ON STARTING YOUR OWN BUSINESS

Many of use have dreamed of launching our own business or developing a product or service because we see the need, but few of us turn these visions into reality. Between our dreams and reality we often imagine a vast and unbridgeable gap.

There is also much talk these days of living life adventurously and Emily is someone who embodies this not only in her personal life but also in her work life.

“We spend so much money on university fees but can learn far more trying out a business idea.”

In this interview Emily gives me some insight into her whirlwind entrepreneurial journey and how much there is to learn from diving into a (business) adventure. There is much to inspire us all here starting from her self-assurance and conviction that she was doing something that was needed to tips on how she manages time when there is so much to do.

Not only has Intrepid Magazine provided something that was missing in the outdoor space but it is doubly satisfying to know it was the vision of someone who cares passionately about the subject matter, saw the importance of it and had the courage to go through with it… although I am not sure Emily herself see it as “courage”. As she says in the interview: “I looked at the hole in the magazine world and thought: I can do that”.

You can read the full interview here on the bizee.co blog.
