Meet the Host

Follow along with our host, Jessie Fischer, as she explores the impact and legacy of outdoor industry leaders, from Yosemite and beyond. Each episode uncovers the journeys of those who blend resilience, adventure, and a deep connection with nature into their careers, exploring their peaks of success and valleys of challenge.

Starting with a 12-room motel near Yosemite in the 1970s, Jessie's family grew their hospitality business to include resorts, vacation homes, and campgrounds. Facing wildfires, floods, and wildlife, Jessie learned resilience, creativity, and the deep bond between humans and nature.
