The Business of Fun just wrapped another event in Denver, Colorado’s premier creative collective Battery621. We filled the house, saw solid feedback from both panelists and attendees, and netted a 9 News segment.
“A great evening and a pleasure to get to meet everyone and share our stories. As I said before, it’s pretty easy to talk about something you’re passionate and excited about. The Business of Fun is definitely on to something,” said panelist and CMH Heli-Skiing (the world’s biggest heli ski opperation) Area Manager Steve Chambers.
Preston Strout, Co-Owner of High Cascade Snowboard Camp and the moderator of the event, was an amazing addition to the program. Not only does he have his own interesting perspective and story of his own journey but he has a stage presence and sense of humor that kept the discussion engaging and entertaining.
The event started with each panelist introducing themselves with a video of what they do (embedded below). The videos ranged from Chris Davenport’s emotional exhalations from the top of the world’s tallest peak to a slideshow of Kristin Rust’s philanthropic travels through the world to Steve Nilsen’s work in the fun-packed world of PBR.
The themes for the night were: Finding your path, sacrifice, and work/life balance. The discussion took an organic path (guided expertly by Preston) through those themes as well as touching on valuable points along the way such as how to remember names or find value in seemly menial tasks or jobs throughout your life.
After the audience had a chance to engage in an open discussion with the panel the event culminated with drinks and socializing.
Video Coverage of the event as well as a full version of the whole panel discussion coming soon.
