RELEASE: Great Outdoors Foundation Launches the Happy Disruptors Podcast

DES MOINES, IA (June 26, 2025) – The Great Outdoors Foundation (GOF) is pleased to announce the launch of The Happy Disruptors Podcast (THDP) — a bold new audio/video series for those who take their work, but not themselves, seriously. The podcast will release weekly with guests from a variety of sectors who take an unconventional approach within their industry.

Rooted in GOF’s model of creative conservation, THDP explores the power of innovative thinking, exploring novel approaches to conventional challenges. Each episode features candid conversations with changemakers who are tackling critical issues, like conservation, all with a healthy dose of optimism and originality.

“We created The Happy Disruptors for people who challenge the status quo with purpose and positivity,” Hannah Inman, Chief Executive Officer at the Great Outdoors Foundation, said. “This podcast celebrates the dreamers, doers, and rule-benders who are making tangible progress in unexpected ways — and having fun while doing it.”

THDP is recorded and produced by Amplified DSM, a full-service studio and storytelling platform that amplifies diverse perspectives and drives change. Listen now on all major streaming platforms.
