I believe in continuing education, so last weekend I attended a conference in Stamford, Connecticut. It was a great event where I was able to learn a lot and meet some great people. How great? Well, on the first day we raised $24,894 to build a school in Africa. (Actually, we raised more than that…
My buddy Jamie clued me in to this video from Matt Hart who put it together for a presentation he did at Montrail a few days ago. There aren’t a whole lot of words, but it certainly makes me want to go hit the trails… Good luck to Jamie and Stephen at Massanutton this weekend!
