Michael Washington: Usal, Inspiring an Outdoor Culture and Power of Introspection in Nature

On episode 85 I speak with Michael Washington, founder of Usal, "a Los Angeles based community providing experiences & goods for the modern nature enthusiast." It sounds simple but what Michael and his partners have created in one short year is remarkable and inspiring. Changing the way people interact, what they feel is safe and possible for them, and forming a greater connection to nature and other people is no small accomplishment. We dive into Michael's journey from a Texas high school football star to following his intuition and creativity on a unique path to Colorado to the music industry to the launch of Usal. I really loved listening to Michael speak and share his introspective process, the questions he asked himself and the organic way that it all unfolded and continues to each day.
