Rachelle Croft joined Scott Brady on the Overland Journal podcast to discuss how women’s off-road rallies and international travel have helped shape her leadership and mindset.

Croft emphasizes the importance of clear communication, managing stress in team environments, and prioritizing joy in travel. As CEO of the Overland Collective, she focuses on community, education, kindness, and stewardship. Upcoming projects for 2026 include the X Overland "Milestones" premiere and promoting her "Start Somewhere" initiative to encourage new travelers.
