It's fair to say that Kristin is passionate about the outdoors. As a cyclist, climber, and mountaineer she is living her dream lifestyle in Durango, Colorado, a small mountain town.

Rather than waiting until retirement, she created this lifestyle by founding Verde Brand Communications, an amazing agency that works with some of the leading outdoor adventure brands.

In this episode Kristin takes us through her amazing journey, what has allowed her to build and manage an agency with 4 offices, what the roles of a CEO in an agency should be, and introduces the second business she has recently founded - Living Uber.
