About the Show:
In this podcast episode, we sit down with Danny Collins as he leads an international roster of adventure racers through the breathtaking Ozarks to compete in the Adventure Race World Series and discover the hidden beauty of his backyard.
"The outdoors is what we have here, and so what better way to connect with it, even for your corporate groups. We see the value in the outdoors as being that environment to build, those team bonding, those leadership skills, and especially in this post-COVID world, we need different ways to engage with each other."
- Danny Collins, Race Director
