Show Notes

Your twenties are some of the MOST formative years of your life and possibly one of the most important decades of your life. From molding your character, to allowing you to explore career options and passions, and discovering the world. These years are full of discovery, exploration and growth.   

Herb Crimp, owner of Desert Highlights, found his 20’s to be some of the most impactful years of his life, shaping where he is now. He went into college with no idea of what he wanted to do and it wasn’t until he was introduced to wilderness recreation by a friend when he found what lights him up day in and out. Now, Herb is running a guided canyoneering program where he shares his enthusiasm for traveling through remote canyons, for a living!

In this episode of Success is Subjective, Herb joins Joanna to share his journey going from lost in college and majoring in economics, to running a wilderness business that he loves. Through a lot of self discovery, hands-on experience and mentorship, he has been able to find a true sense of success for himself. Listen in for Herb’s insight on how he took advantage of the most formative years of his life and where it has taken him.
