You are invited to get in on something new - a creative combination of fitness and innovation, i.e. using fitness, the outdoors and free flowing conversation to get creative and open-minded people together to share or develop some really good ideas. The last decade has seen a surge in co-working spaces and coffee shops as places where people, groups or startups meet to pitch or discuss ideas. HIke
Storming will take that to a new level -- moving these types of conversations to a much better place -- in the hills, trails, beaches and surrounding forests of the Bay Area and Northern California. What you’ll get:
Exercise, more blood flow and oxygen to the brain, better ideas, great feedback from interesting people, collaboration and nice views. Who this is for:
Creative, interesting, thinking, open-minded, positive, idealistic, big concept, visionary, ground breaking, considerate, collaborative people who envision something better.... and who also like to hike, run or be in motion. We are especially open to "multi-potentialites," but that doesn't mean you have to be one to join... just open to ideas. You can read more about that here: http://puttylike.com/terminology/
What we’ll do:
On our hikes, be open to pitching, discussing, “going deep,” elaborating, planning.... and brainstorming. We could expand into other areas such as running, disc golf, body-boarding and camping if there is interest. We're interested in starting a YouTube channel and have begun recording some of our conversations, under the theme of "ideas in motion."
