Dino Ruggeri, originally from Grosse Pointe Michigan, is now proudly opening Detroit’s first climbing gym DYNO, in Detroit’s historic Eastern Market. 

We had the privilige to sit down with Detroit's new gym owner, to discuss the construction process, his  inspiration behind the new settlement, inclusivity, and -of course- food!

Dino and the values of DYNO Detroit promote active inclusivity in a way that few gyms have aspired to do.  

Join us as we learn more about this new adventure!

UK paraclimber, Anoushé Husain, discusses her upbringing, health, civil service, and paraclimbing. Being born without her right arm below the elbow, Anoushé faced diverse challenges she was fervently determined to overcome. Spoiler alert: she did!

Anoushé's passion for inclusion and diversity inspired her to pursue a career in the field of civil service as a manager for the Department of Education in the UK. Her life experiences and commitment to the climbing community also are the reason behind co-founding paraclimbing London.

Anoushé  captivated us with her experiences and dedication to civil service.  This was such an inspiring and motivational chat, and we feel so happy to have the opportunity to share it with you!

Dr. Thomas was gracious enough to talk with us about her most recent book The Meaning of Travel: Philosophers Abroad.  If you have even the slightest inclination toward travel, then this book is a must read.  The overlap between philosophy, travel, and a deeper understanding of what travel amounts to, as well as where it originates, coalesce in this truly unique and spectacular book.  

Thomas articulates challenging ideas in a way that allows anyone to digest the breath and depth of a generally overlooked area of scholarship.
