Today on the episode we have author and founder of Green Belly, Chris Cage on the show. Chris is a master trekker and entrepreneur creating a business around his passion and what he loves to do. After quitting his accounting job he went on a 10,000 mile backpacking trip through Asia, a 3,000 mile bike tour of New Zealand and a 6-month 2,185 mil hiking trek along the Appalachian Trail. What he noticed during his travels is that nutrition is a constant struggle for extreme adventurers like Chris. So he created a business that helps eliminate that problem. Thus, GreenBelly. Green Belly creates trekking and backpacking food packages using whole foods to feed the adventurers of the world the most nutritious, ready-to-eat meal on the planet.
