About Sanni
Sanni McCandless has built a career at the intersection of life design and the outdoors. She started her professional life at an energy efficiency-focused tech startup in Seattle called EnergySavvy. After a few years in the nine-to-five world, Sanni took to the road for a year-long road trip as she rock climbed around the globe and pushed herself on adventures like thru-hiking the John Muir Trail. Along the way, Sanni graduated from IPEC's Life Coach Certification Program and took to the entrepreneurial world as she started her own business as a coach. Since starting her business, Sanni has won coaching awards such as Fresh Chalk's Best Seattle Life Coaches, been featured in over 30 podcasts and articles including the Tony Robbins Podcast, and worked with brands such as Lululemon, Free People, and Nature Valley. Sanni was also a subject alongside her husband, professional rock climber, Alex Honnold, in the Oscar winning documentary, Free Solo. Outside of her one-on-one coaching, Sanni runs an online group coaching series called ReSpark, designed to help individuals be happier at work, and is the co-founder of an outdoor-based retreat series called Outwild. Outwild hosts three day experiences where participants learn how to reprioritize their values and push their comfort zone in the outdoors. When she's not living in her van, Sanni can be found in Las Vegas, Nevada where she enjoys year-round rock climbing and endless desert views.
