July 3 AM

I woke up this morning exhausted. I am assuming this is from the long bike ride yesterday. I guess riding all day fatigues my body. We’ll I was up and had a cup of coffee, pulled things together and headed back into Duluth to Canal Park for an interview with Rick Kollath, a graphic designers and Illustrator. I managed to navigate this gigantic 1500cc bike through the streets of Duluth to Rick’s office, a very cool, warehouse looking space that he shares with several other creative minds.

We sat down, moved once for better sound and moved one more time before Rick opened up about his adventures canoeing, climbing, and hiking. What became clear was that even with all of the great stories he had about outdoor adventures, he chose to talk about starting his own business. I sat back and listened as he explained to me how he faced many fears and changed his life when he decided to open a business.
