To be listed as one of the most influential individuals outside is an honor and privilege... Speaking on issues that we are navigating as human beings is never easy. Walking between worlds to understand what it means to be human in the short amount of time we are given is a gift. There are many people to thank around the world from communities, coaches, guides, mentors, and individuals along this journey of growth and learning from my day job to provide funding to others to learning on a mountain, and in the ocean That gave me space to learn about issues from racism, sexism, inequality, climate change, and other topics that impact humanity. And let me evolve into the person I am today As an ambassador, I can't and won't speak for everyone on what should be done, but I can listen and contribute to building a stage that is safe for those who stand and speak to be seen and heard on topics that are important to them and their community. So if speaking and standing up on how athletes' images and contracts should be used How more guides of diverse backgrounds should be given a chance to lead on mountains To protect the outside space today and for future generations And why diversity (racially and sexually) will always matter... Then yes I'm an influencer through and through and I hope I influence those in power to see and hear those that deserve the opportunity the beauty of living is learning from others about what they stand for and what they fight for. Thank you to all those that have allowed me to learn from you, and learn how to move forward on this journey. Thank you @outsidemagazine @outsidebusinessjournal In peace and love
