The Wild and Scenic Film Festival is one of the most treasured celebrations of conservation in the outdoor active lifestyle markets. The organization literally inspires activism through film, and the 2016 traveling film festival kicks off on Earth Day in San Francisco. What a fitting venue for the global premiere of KEEN Footwear’s Live Monumental documentary film. I have the privilege of interviewing Wild and Scenic’s Melinda Booth and KEEN Footwear’s Kirsten Blackburn in this very special episode of The Intrepid Entrepreneur podcast. Listen in and learn how both of these amazing organizations use their reach and impact to affect awareness, activism and positive change.
The Live Monumental documentary chronicles KEEN’s cross-country road trip advocating for the protection of 3-million acres of public lands – no small feat. KEEN and Wild and Scenic invite all of us in to become part of the movement to protect America’s precious public lands – there’s a lot of awareness and action that must happen before President Obama leaves office this year. Get outside and enjoy our public lands and get your family and friends to do the same! You can’t believe in and protect something you haven’t experienced, as Kirsten Blackburn of KEEN says in this podcast.
