"Being caught up in the movement of work and life can get so loud sometimes. So loud that it can become a drain and distraction from your "Why".  The curated adventure with Joe was exactly what I needed. To be able to pause, embrace the world around me, and get back in touch with my adventurous inner child gave me life instead of draining it.  Highly recommended for a reset as the inner work begins."

"There are partnerships that feel like providence, and working with the team at Baker Road is one of them. Craig and Joe tend to every detail, the grand gestures and the unspoken necessities, with a kind of hospitality that feels both intentional and effortless. I place my full faith in their ability to hold and create space with patience, with intention, with the kind of care that allows something beautiful to grow.”

“Being with Joe in nature was liberating, soothing, and deeply healing. I even learned how to skip rocks—something I’ve wanted to do most of my life! That simple act carried such meaning: a reminder of how reconnecting with ourselves opens doors we often leave closed. My Discovery Day was not just time outdoors; it was time within.”

"Life changing. I gained a whole new perspective about community, my physical abilities, and what being around a group of men could be when everyone comes into it with intention. If someone wants to work on their own vulnerability, mindfulness, and introspection, this experience is a must."

“For me, the retreat was transformative, absolutely worth traveling in from New York. It wasn't just a chance to step back and reflect, but an outlet to push myself,  to move beyond mild discomforts, and be in the moment. Joe and his team are brilliant guides and helped gently nudge my own journey in the right direction.”

 ”My Discovery Day felt like the body and mind equivalent of opening the windows of a home on the first warm spring day, after a stuffy winter. It was a day of deep breaths, contentment, and reflection, prompted by the Baker Road team's thoughtful, detailed attentiveness, a much-needed slower, more natural pace than my typical days, and the beauty, harmony, and spaciousness of nature.”

"Amazing collective spirit amongst the men. Incredible set of guides and leaders. Great camp arrangements. Beautiful trail in so many ways."

"I spent half a day in Knox County with Joe. I came feeling weighed down by my work, without the tools to relieve the pressure. I walked away feeling lighter, grounded, and full of gratitude. Joe leads with care, empathy, wisdom, and heart. I am grateful for the opportunity to go below the pavement with him, to get to the earth underneath and feel supported in both my journey—and the adventure."

"....fantastic format for personal reflection, restoration and connection to deeper parts of yourself and others."

“One of the best opportunities I’ve had to push myself, to encourage and be encouraged, to have authentic conversations with other men, and INCREDIBLE food."

"Genuinely life changing. The physical experience paired with the great group of guys made it an experience I will truly never forget."

"Because of the physical challenge, social/emotional walls came down quickly. As a result, the group was incredibly open to each other and transformation took place."
