50 weeks a year I’m consumed with branding and marketing messages, so it was sure nice this past week to get away from media of all kinds. I attended a week long wilderness retreat in Big Sur through the Esalen Institute led by wilderness guide, Steven Harper. We toured the backcountry of Big Sur and got special access to trails …

20|20 Explores Johnson Ranch

An American Girl in Sweden

Take a Hike Round 2: Madonna
While local purists call it Cerro San Luis, we know it as “that mountain with the M on it that we drive by everyday.” Well not anymore! With the second bi-weekly Friday afternoon hike, the 20|20 crew braved the harsh SLO County elements once again (it was actually pretty darn hot) and set off into the great unknown! We arrived …

Take a Hike
Spring is here! Spring is here! Okay, we have to admit that Winter pretty much passed us by this year. But that doesn’t mean we can’t still celebrate the arrival of Spring! That’s why last Friday, the 20|20 team put down the papers, turned away from the screens, and stepped out into the sunshine. In lieu of lunch, we checked out …
