In this episode of Easier Said, we sit down with Mike Judd, Executive Director of Beaver Camp, for a wide-ranging and deeply personal conversation about faith, leadership, family, and the power of unplugging in a hyperconnected world. Mike shares his journey from camper to camp leader, reflecting on how formative outdoor experiences shaped both his career and his calling. We explore the growing tension between technology and true connection, and why creating intentional space for nature and reflection has never been more important.
The conversation moves into the changing educational landscape, the role of adventure in building resilience, and how purpose is often discovered through discomfort and growth. Mike speaks candidly about prioritizing marriage, extending grace in parenting, and what it means to lead with humility and conviction. One of the most moving moments comes as he reflects on his father’s legacy and the impact of saying goodbye, reminding us that leadership begins at home.
We also talk about hiking in the Adirondack Mountains, the mental clarity that comes from the outdoors, and what’s next for Beaver Camp and his own journey. This episode is a thoughtful, grounded exploration of building strong families, developing courageous leaders, and choosing presence in a distracted world. Enjoy!
