“Life on the Outside” is a podcast beyond boxes or comfort zones. Presented by Garmin, each episode features stories from athletes, explorers, pilots, captains and anyone who woke up today to beat yesterday.
In the event the pilot of an airplane is unable to fly, Garmin Autoland can help protect the passengers on board by taking control of the airplane and landing it at a suitable airport. It’s revolutionary automation. And it’s the recipient of the 2020 Robert J. Collier Trophy — the annual award that represents the pinnacle of achievement in aeronautics and astronautics. In this special edition, we talk to Garmin engineers Bailey Scheel and Ben Patel and Executive Vice President, Managing Director of Aviation Phil Straub about the development of this technology — and what it means for the future of aviation.

When you look at Mirinda “Rinny” Carfrae’s bio, the first thing you see isn’t that she is a four-time world champion Garmin-sponsored triathlete. You don’t see that she strikes fear in the hearts of competitors, with an ongoing list of records that she has been stacking since the early 2000s. The first thing you see is that she’s a mom. In this episode we sit down with Rinny and her husband Timothy O’Donnell, also a world-class Garmin-sponsored triathlete, to discuss their athletic careers and what it’s like to be superstar athletes while raising two superstar children.

Our Feature Story:
Guillaume Hullin often heads into the outdoors to break out of his routine and be more self-reliant for a period of time before returning to his job in information technology. He likes to document his travels on his youtube channel, where he records all of his experiences. Last October, Guillaume set out on an extended backpacking expedition to see the beauty of the Swedish wilds. He didn’t realize, however, that he would be trapped by an early winter storm.
Stuck in the middle of a blizzard in the most remote region in Europe, Guillaume’s only hope was to trigger an SOS on his inReach Satellite Communicator.

It is the responsibility of the user to know and follow all applicable laws in the jurisdictions where the device is intended to be used.
