What's Inspiring us Today? Creating Connection.

The crew here at Ethnotek are always passing along blog posts, photos, stories, just about anything, really, that we find inspiring.  


What's inspiring us right now? 
Connection.   We love stories of connection.  Connecting is the very heart and soul of what we do at Ethnotek.  That is why we share the stories of our artisans and the stories of our (mis)adventures, and that is why we ask you to share your stories
We've found a brilliant TED speaker whose amazing projects are leaving us inspired to get out and connect with others.

Work Hard, Play Hard!

Recapping our week at the Summer Outdoor Retailer Show

The Ethnotek team converged on Salt Lake City for the Summer Outdoor Retailer trade show from all directions, Josh, Jake, and Aaron moved slowly in Van Morrison, Team Marketing Megan and Steph flew in from Minneapolis, and CFO Brad jetted down from Seattle.  After the (mis)adventures of the drive down, setting up the booth, and scheduling sales and press meetings, we were all set to rock this show.  While the days started with early mornings (including the daily trip to Starbucks and CFO Brad singing Al Green in the minivan) and ended late into the night working on logging all of the connections we had made throughout the day, we managed to find lots of ways to play hard as well.

The (mis)adventures of Jake & Josh

Even if you buy just one person a gift this year that is sustainability made, has a positive environmental impact, and well-being for others in mind, you are making a positive impact. Small changes matter! There is a shift happening in our world and as a collective species, humans are becoming more aware of their impact, and that is incredible!
