Oli Russell-Cowan is the Founder of Rad Season the world’s first one-stop-shop for all your action sports, adventure events and cultural festival booking needs.

Rad Season brings everything together under one roof: discover, share, and book tickets to adrenaline-pumping activities and events around the world, and get your travel and accommodation needs wrapped up at the same time!

The idea for the platform came about when I was trekking around Latin America. I found it difficult to find cool events and festivals going on that were a bit different and had an element of adventure and general radness to them. In April 2016 Rad Season was born and continues to expand to be the definitive voice for adventure and festival enthusiasts around the world.

Oli has 15 years experience in international business development across Europe, Australasia and the US spanning multiple industries including events and corporate conferences, the action sports media and publishing industry as well as the travel and tourism sector.

Oli is a keen traveler, snowboarder, runner and surfer having explored and surfed in 40 different countries from Israel to Western Samoa.

Stefanie Lethbridge and Chelsea Rolph are the founders of Easy Virtual Assistant. They are an online business management agency that specializes in marketing, social media management, event planning, and creative design. Their goal is to help businesses grow by increasing brand awareness, customers, and revenue.

Stefanie and Chelsea have both overcome challenges that have brought them to where they are now. Chelsea has had many concussions that impacted her everyday life. Doctors and guidance counselor recommended her not to go to University or do a very reduced workload until she was fully recovered. Despite being told this, she continued to take on a full course load and graduated with the rest of her class. In 2016, Stefanie’s son Scott passed away and was told by fertility specialists that she would not be able to have kids naturally, but proved everyone wrong when she delivered a healthy baby girl. Despite these struggles that they both had, they both worked hard to achieve their dreams.

Stefanie and Chelsea love encouraging others to do what makes them happy and to never give up on their goals. They built their business around helping other people succeed, which is how Easy Virtual Assistant was created. In the first week, they got their first client and within 2 months they were able to grow their business to the point where they were able to quit their full-time corporate jobs. Since this, they have been enjoying connecting with so many amazing people and working with both established businesses and businesses that are just in the beginning stages!!
