This is not an academic paper. It isn’t scholarly research either. No, quite the opposite: this project is about creating the most resourceful collection of hands-on tips, proven strategies, and success stories from some of the best and most innovative adventure businesses in the industry.  

Stellar adventure companies are built by real people. Leaders that take great pride in moving the industry forward. I am uncovering what makes them leaders in their field, finding out what their issues are on a day to day basis, and identifying what resources they need to continue innovating and succeed. There is much to learn from exemplary companies; I am gathering all this information to share online.
