Hey folks,

You may have gathered from the title that I'm writing an article about folks thru-hiking the AT, but it's a little more specific than that.

A friend of mine came up with an idea for a business while hiking the trail (lots of time to think I presume) and then started it after concluding his hike. It's a T-shirt company focused on outdoor lifestyles and sustainability called Mount Inspiration, and it's pretty cool. Anyway, I'm looking for similar stories of other folks coming up with a good business idea and then pursuing it, no matter what stage they're currently in. I haven't been able to find much literature on this so I figured I would reach out here. I really appreciate any help you can offer!

If you're wondering where the article will be published, I am too! I'll have to write it and see. My email is mfwelch(the number thirteen)@gmail. Thanks in advance!
