In this inspiring episode of The Wild We Share, we're joined by Yvonne Leow, the visionary founder of Bewilder. Yvonne shares her transformative journey from a non-outdoorsy background to creating a unique outdoor education company that brings the essence of nature to urban environments.
Her story begins in Washington state and leads to remarkable adventures, from backpacking in the Eastern Sierra to climbing Aconcagua.
Yvonne's vision with Bewilder is to make nature accessible and appealing, particularly in urban settings.
She highlights how Bewilder began as a newsletter catering to beginner campers and backpackers and then shifted focus towards families, driven by the pandemic's challenges and opportunities.
Yvonne's pivot to family-oriented outdoor experiences led to the creation of Bewilder Base Camp, a concept that transforms urban spaces into pop-up campgrounds, igniting the imaginations of children and their parents alike.
Throughout the conversation, Yvonne reflects on the lessons learned from her entrepreneurial journey, the importance of mentors, and the personal growth she experienced.
Her commitment to redefining what it means to be outdoorsy is evident as she discusses creating experiences that bridge the gap between the concrete jungle and the wild, making nature a part of everyday urban life.
Yvonne's story is a testament to the power of nature to inspire, rejuvenate, and connect us. Her work with Bewilder exemplifies how innovative thinking can make the outdoors more inclusive and accessible, encouraging more families to explore and appreciate the natural world around them.
Join us as we dive into this conversation with Yvonne, learning about the intersection of nature, entrepreneurship, and the quest to bring the outdoors into our urban lives.
