In this episode, Caleb sits down with Jayson Simons-Jones.  We chat about Jayson's career as an IFMGA Mountain Guide, a guide service owner, an avalanche educator, and now his new role as the Recreation Education Manager for the American Avalanche Association.  Jayson provides thoughtful insights and reflection on how he approaches bringing a deep sense of meaning and connection while taking people skiing in the backcountry.  We dive into some of the key points of a great article he wrote for The Avalanche Review titled: Group Communication and Decision Making Tactics.  We chat about his new role at the A3 and some of his goals within the position.  We wrap up the hour with Jayson sharing some nuggets of wisdom through lessons delivered to him in the backcountry.

In Episode 2.4, we hear from Scott Savage about a great project he is working on with the help of Bill Williamson and Ethan Greene. It is the long awaited unveiling of the Avalanche Near Miss database that will hopefully create a safer culture within the professional avalanche community. We then turn inward as we hear from Nancy Bockino of Jackson Hole, WY as she talks about embracing being human in the avalanche environment. Hope you enjoy!!
