Jared is the man behind Good Day Optics! His story behind the brand is nothing short of heart moving. While his mother battled cancer, Jared would give her words of hope and optimism on origami elephants that he would make her. "Today is gonna be a good day." And thus the Good Day Optics came to be. Jared has made his company more then just about products, but about a way of life. Such an awesome guy and brand!  @GoodDayOptics

Justin doesn't just ride mountain bikes he owns a mountain biking tour company in Santa Fe New Mexico! It is rightfully named Santa Fe Mountain Bike Tours. He takes groups of people, beginners to advanced, through some of the most beautiful mountain bike trails New Mexico has to offer. He even offers riding clinics so you can learn to conquer the trails! He is a local so he can even guide you to the best places to eat, drink and everything else in between.

@CrankTherapy Ben love bikes! So much so he hates to see them go to waste when they are past their prime. So he takes recycled parts and creates beautiful and useful things from them. Such as clocks, signs and yoga mat straps. He even makes wallets out of inner tubes by sewing them with a sewing machine/bike thingy?! WHAT?! I love people who don't like to just toss things away so I'm super stoked to chat with this guy!
