Hey Bart Miller here with cycling strong thanks for tuning in to the channel if you haven't
subscribed to my channel do so now
I need you part of our community if you're not part of the community you're
not going to get all the updates and we're doing some really killer videos
so right now most of you know I'm over here with Rebecca russia's ride
in Ketchum Idaho or most people call it Sun Valley having a blast
we came across this company before we came over called play hard
give back so I gotta line started doing some research on these guys
WOW what an amazing
cool company if you haven't checked 'em out do so
right now get on your computer go check it out we'll put a link right here
somewhere right here these guys will have one go check their stuff out
I don't know if they have a YouTube channel cuz I didn't check that out but if they do go
check it out
oh we got one Spencer gives it a thumbs up so so take a look at that now
the reason I loved this company so much was they were able to take
an amazing athlete put it to with a
amazing mix write something that everybody eats tell me you don't eat trail mix
everybody eats trail mix and then give back to an amazing cause
how cool is that that's like bottling water and making money
I mean who thought of that that was genius so
that being said I got to be able to meet with Spencer he's been sitting here being
really cool
he's the owner president CEO the *** of
this business and so we wanted to talk to him for a second Spencer how did you come up
with this tell all these amazing people out here in the cycling community
how did you come up with this great idea It happened about a year ago
I applied for a wild gift entrepreneurship grant and that's a
locally based organization here
and you going to the mountains you get to spend all kinds of times just planning wait
a minute you get to the mountains and think about all this stuff? 20 days baby
all to yourself just work on your business plan and so when you come out you don't
have any distractions and then they support you over the next year
with $2000 quarterly disbursements and mentorship on how to
run your company
and the rest is history. dude I'm given up bike riding and I'm just gonna start
businesses that sounds like a blast
wish I could become a part of that so you've worked with a ton of cool people obviously
to this point tell us a little about the experiences with the athletes and their
their theory on this and how much fun they're having with it the experiences
with the athletes are
amazing you know they've always wanted to give back as an athlete but it's hard
you know
you're always traveling you don't have the expenses and
is just not feasible so with this platform it's awesome
they get to be a sponsor to athlete get some money to help further their career
but also you know be involved in a social causes they care about and
you know that's that's what school is really really cool so
when you're choosing an athlete I mean you're probably looking for some certain
things in those athletes kinda tell us a little bit about that
and what you're looking for in these athletes I wanna know what the athletes
be well-rounded you know not
totally self-centered obviously have to be self-centered to get to that level but
you know well-rounded person good personality to something that's you know
marketable
and you know obviously just a badass
all-around good athlete you know right on
so I love that about this whole thing if you have a charity or you have an
athlete that should be a part of these guys as group or organization
make sure you let them know because I'm sure they'd take a vote on
who would be the best athlete or who they think should be the next athlete we'll put a little
facebook thing together something like that that'll be cool
voting for everybody to get involved to pick the athletes but
thank you for what you're doing thank you for getting back to us
we were talking just a second ago and Spencers looking to help
a lot of the youth organizations to be able to grow stuff out
most of you know that I'm trying to put a mountain bike kind of a group together
in the Idaho Falls Rexburg area teams you go kick all those Utah
kids's butt no I'm just kidding all you Utah kids Just have fun on the mountain bike scene with these
high school mountain bikers
so maybe we'll get in touch with Spencer he can help us do all that kinda fun stuff
but I love the fact that he's getting behind the youth getting behind these
programs
so stay tuned to their company check out all the cool stuff they've got going
