Chris Cage quit a corporate job to travel and eventually hike the Appalachian Trail.  When he was finally done, he had a choice to make.  Either go back to corporate life or find a way to fund his new lifestyle.  He chose the latter and founded Greenbelly Meals.  Chris has had to make some big life-changing decisions that all came at a cost, but that's what makes it an adventure.  To risk the known for the unknown.

In this episode, we learn a little more about Chris Cage, Green Belly, and how he manages risks.  We also dive into entrepreneurship, his book on the AT, and a fun new social networking site for backpacking gear nerds called Packfire.
