Todd Phillips, founder of The Last Well, lived on a raft in the middle of a lake for 28 days to raise money for people in Liberia in need of water security. Little did he know he would raise $2.5 million dollars in that time. The Last Well is now on track to provide water security for every citizen in Liberia by the end of 2020.
Throughout the process of his work, Todd realized a disturbing trend about the current state of relief and development around the world. Currently, most relief efforts deliver water through single-use plastic bottles and bladders. These bottles and bladders pile up as litter throughout villages around the world. Today, Todd has partnered with Sawyer to challenge the relief and development world to replace single-use plastic with reusable portable water filters.

It’s all about lifestyle (and sometimes health insurance). Some go from freelancer to editor. Others go from editor to freelancer. And some even go from editor to marketing / PR while others stay in editorial but move from pure play media to a brand or a DMO. There are a lot of options out there for media professionals but making navigating a transition can be tricky. These successful professionals will tell you how they made their career jumps all while still staying true to the umbrella of media and marketing within the outdoor industry.

It all started with a paper that Patagonia VIP Rick Ridgeway wrote addressing what he called “the elephant in the room.” The elephant in the room is the idea that business value cannot grow infinitely when there are limited resources and thus, businesses need to find ways to create business value while reducing consumption. The paper was controversial at Patagonia but it worked. It led to the Don’t Buy this Jacket campaign and eventually, the Worn Wear program. Rick will share how his idea caught the attention of the World Bank and how other companies have latched on to the idea of reducing consumption to create business value.

While these monetization models are certainly not mutually exclusive, these editors will share Pros and Cons of each.
