Discover The World Through Running.

Ep.13
"Closing the Adventure Gap"

with ron griswell

"“How do I not only share my experiences from a selfish angle, but how do I truly get people into these activities, how do I get people who look like me to be the guides or to be the person organizing the outdoor trip... So let me go back to my university which is an HBCU, and let me see how I can start to leave a legacy and share my experiences and diversify the outdoors by getting more people who look like me on the other side of things, and hopefully not only will they start leading trips or organizing groups, but by showing other people a great time in the outdoors, they themselves and the people that they also bring out would truly come to love a place and honestly want to protect our public lands.” — Ron Griswell
