What makes you feel alive? What makes you feel like a kid again? For David, the answer to both is "stoke," the secret ingredient to adventure. David embodies "work hard, play hard" in every area of his life, and invites others into the surprising joys of challenging play. His definition of play will motivate and mobilize you regardless of experience level.

David Hardin is the Co-Founder and COO of Lendrose, as well as a small business consultant and exit advisor with Cultivate Advisors, and a TACFIT personal trainer. He also juggles multiple extreme sports as an Arc’teryx athlete and trainer, including ice climbing and surfing. David is based in Chicago, his lifelong home.
