At However We Got Here, we believe the best thinking rarely happens under fluorescent lights. Some of the most meaningful breakthroughs — the kind that reframe challenges, uncover new opportunities, or build lasting trust — come when we step outside the usual environment.
That’s why we offer curated Client Immersion Experiences, affectionately known as Red Squirrel Outdoors, as an intentional part of how we deepen relationships and move work forward.
These experiences are invite-only and built into client work to foster clarity, collaboration, and trust.
We design these experiences based on mutual fit, interest, and the goals of our engagement. No two look the same, by design.
We are a licensed fly fishing guide in the State of Alaska, and depending on the season, client interests, and the nature of the partnership, our experiences may include:
🎣 Fly Fishing Retreats
Quiet waters, early mornings, and the clarity that comes from stepping away from the noise. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or completely new, our guided casting sessions are meant to offer presence, perspective, and shared memory.
🚣 Kayak Fishing Adventures
Remote lakes. Hidden coves. The thrill of a strike just beyond the reeds. Whether chasing bass at sunrise or drifting with no agenda, our trips offer more than just tight lines; they’re about resetting the mind, deepening connection, and experiencing wild places with intention.
🚵♂️ Mountain Biking Excursions
For clients who crave movement and challenge, we explore curated trails that match skill levels and desired intensity. These rides spark conversation, test limits, and help shake loose stagnant thinking.
🥾 High-Altitude Hiking
Some of our best strategic sessions take place one step at a time. From alpine lakes to forested paths, hikes create a natural space to ask better questions, and hear better answers.
🍷 Culinary Retreats
Because relationships often deepen over food, we’ve partnered with local chefs and foragers to host intimate dining experiences, cooking sessions, and farm-to-table tastings that complement the work we’re doing together.
🧘 Meditation & Mindfulness Excursions
Stillness matters. We offer guided sessions and quiet environments for clients looking to reset and return to the work with a clear head and renewed energy.
These experiences are not the core of our business and are not available to the general public. They are offered solely as part of long-term strategic consulting or business development engagements. We are not a licensed outfitter, and we do not provide outdoor guiding services as a standalone commercial activity. Any excursions take place in compliance with applicable land use guidelines and are framed within a business context, not as recreation for hire.
