Take Your Advocacy to New Heights
Cindy Hession, 48 Peaks for Alzheimer’s
I wasn’t really into doing things by myself back then…. But I pushed myself out of my comfort zone and I loved it.
Wrestling Your 'Dream Life' Demons
Tarin O’Donnell, Tarin It Up Podcast and TKO Yoga & Fitness
It’s networking. Everything in life is networking. You meet people, and you’re just exposed to things you weren’t exposed to before. You find these opportunities you didn’t even know existed.
If You Build It, They Will Bike (and Walk, and Ski...)
Marianne Borowski, Cross New Hampshire Adventure Trail
I tried to put together the things that I found useful. I like the map, I like to know that there’s a town coming up.. and that there’s ice cream in that town!
There’s No Such Thing As Too Little Movement
Val Hopkins, 365 Mile Challenge
I have some banned words… I don’t let people say ‘just’, or ‘only’.
Build a Community of Support OUTdoors
Rae-a Moughty, Campfire Institute
The suicide rate amongst Queer teens is ginormous… If these little moments, laying in the snow, looking at the stars, can help give them just a tiny bit of resilience, then I want to keep giving them camp. So I never turn anyone away.

Dip Down to Rise Up (Together)
Amy Hopkins, Saltwater Mountain Co.
The next day, I thought “Wow, that felt really good, I need to go back and do that again”. And so I did. And I didn’t stop.
From Side Hustle to Hot Business
I’m really inspired by that whole concept of bringing people together… I’m really fed by relationships and connecting people, and I don’t think I’m going to tire of always creating new ways to do that. The practice of sauna-ing and meeting new people in that context can help a lot of people.
Embrace Nature's Rhythm and Heed the Call
Tori Gray, The Wilderness Guru
I actually find a lot of peace in sitting in silence in the wilderness, because to me - it’s not sitting in silence.
Catch Some Air with A Flying Flock
A Flying Flock
I do it because I have four granddaughters, and I want them to know you can do anything.
