What happens when you trade a safe and secure teaching career, for a life on the wild side.
We sit down with Norm Hann, Canadian expedition paddler, guide, and educator — known for his work in the Great Bear Rainforest and for pioneering multi-day SUP expeditions on Canada’s wild coast.
Norm shares his remarkable transformation from a classroom teacher in Ontario to a wilderness guide and advocate for the Great Bear Rainforest. From being adopted into the Raven Clan in Hartley Bay to shaping the early days of stand-up paddleboarding, Norm’s story is about courage, connection, and following your calling.
In this episode, Norm shares:
- How leaving a secure career opened the door to purpose and adventure
- What makes the Great Bear Rainforest one of the planet’s most magical places
- How his adoption into the Raven Clan shaped his identity and outlook
- The origins of his pioneering SUP expeditions on Canada’s west coast
