Life Off the Map is a podcast about choosing a different path—when the default route stops working. Hosted by Chad Missildine, the show explores how people find rhythm, meaning, and forward motion when life moves off the paved road. Some episodes are recorded on unpaved trails or in the middle of real life. Others are conversations with people who've taken risks, changed direction, and learned to live with both intention and mystery.This isn't about hacks or formulas. It's about paying attention, finding your rhythm, and making the next honest move—especially when the path isn't clear. If you've done what you were "supposed" to do and still feel the pull toward something more, you'll feel at home here.

Have you ever looked around at a life you genuinely love and still wondered why something feels... missing? Not because your life is falling apart. Not because you're ungrateful. But because somewhere beneath the respons
Most of us like the idea of adventure—we just don't like the parts we didn't plan. Whether it's a diagnosis, a closed door, a relationship that changed, a business that isn't going the way you expected, or simply realizi

Sometimes the most dangerous place to stop is a place that feels pretty good. This episode was recorded in Leadville, Colorado, during race week for the Leadville Trail 100 Run, one of the most iconic 100-mile trail race
Most of us spend our lives trying to optimize everything. We map the route, fill every hour, and work hard to make sure nothing goes wrong. But somewhere along the way, we may have stopped leaving room for surprise. In t

In 1914, Ernest Shackleton set out to do something no one had ever done before: cross Antarctica on foot. He never made it. His ship became trapped in the ice. The expedition failed. The dream died. The map no longer mat
Somewhere in the middle of editing his upcoming book, Chad realized the questions he was asking about the manuscript had quietly become questions he was asking about his own life: What belongs? What doesn't? What's makin

A lot of people are waiting for life to feel different before they start living differently. But the real shift often begins with one small decision: stop blaming, stop sitting, stop drifting, and take ownership of the l

You're doing the work. So why isn't your life actually changing? Most driven people don't struggle because they're lazy—they struggle because they're aiming at the wrong problem. So they double down. More discipline. Bet
Most people don't get trapped because they fall off. They get trapped by what they tell themselves after they fall off. In Part 2 of the Life Audit Series, Chad focuses on the moment after you realize something's off—whe
Most people don't realize how much of their identity is tied to being needed… until things get quiet. This episode kicks off the Life Audit Series—for builders, leaders, and high-capacity people who know how to produce,
