What It's About
An update from an urban hiking guide who is thriving despite COVID-19 challenges.
Notes from Chris
Episode 1209
Welcome to Throwback Thursday / “Where are they now?” where we take an in-depth look at someone whose story has evolved considerably since we first featured them. Last week’s segment was all about the Longhairs, a group of men who not only sell hair ties but also have a powerful message that results in a profitable bottom-line by focusing on shared identity. Today, in our latest feature, we’ll hear from Alexandra Kenin, who owns an urban hiking business in San Francisco. Like many of us, she’s experienced a massive challenge in the wake of COVID-19, but she’s also been able to adapt. Listen to today's episode to hear Alexandra's updates...MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:
