Discover the Importance of Leisure in Business

July 13, 2011 by

[HTML1] Garrett Ritter Kababik shares his passion and mission in creating Channel Island Outfitters (CIO), a green business that takes a normally seasonal industry and transforms it into a year-around business.  In an otherwise hectic lifestyle that many of us lead, Channel Island Outfitters gives individuals and corporations the ability to access and appreciate the beauty of the oceans and mountains while learning about the importance of protecting our parks.

By becoming a member of the Adventure Co-op, people benefit from the ability to use the latest equipment that is maintained and ready when you are.  Garrett’s vision for the Adventure Co-op reflects his desire to bring people together in such a way that makes adventure on the oceans and land easy and fun while encouraging healthy living, community building and environmental restoration.   Not only does Channel Island Outfitters facilitate regular enjoyment of our parks and leisure, it provides corporate programs to build team work and leadership.

CIO embodies its own values through its green business model that reduces consumerism while teaching environmental consciousness.  Garrett will be part of a panel of speakers on August 12, 2011, at the Clean Business Investment Summit being held at University California Santa Barbara (UCSB).

About Robin Eschler

Robin L. Eschler, the founder of Social Impact Marketing, started her career in developing foundational marketing strategies for companies of all sizes, from Fortune 500 to individual entrepreneurs and local businesses. She has developed and implemented international campaigns to launch high tech products and services and guided new business owners to successfully navigate the difficulties of growing a business.

Her life-long passion for helping others led her into nonprofit work for over a decade. Early on, she recognized the need for nonprofits to adapt to a rapidly changing world in which technology dominates and for-profit business practices are central to success. Her determination to help social causes in a sustainable way led to her creation of the Women's Radio show Socially Conscious Investing.

Impact investing in for-profits with a mission of social change such as the fight against extreme poverty is a blossoming business sector around the world. With the economic decline, it's clear that Wall Street requires change. Social impact investing addresses that need in a way that provides financial and social ROI.

As the Host of Socially Conscious Investing on WomensRadio, Robin's goal is to educate people about the growth of social impact investing and social venture. Interviews are conducted with socially conscious business experts including foundations and nonprofits, social venture investment firms, micro-loan organizations, investors, educators, authors and social entrepreneurs.

This show's mission is to help change the world through sustainable business practices that contribute to the economy, combat poverty, end hunger and provide better lives to all.

Twice, Robin has been recognized and received the highest honorary award that Rotary International gives, the Paul Harris Award, for service above self. Her community work has included developing local programs for disadvantaged populations such as foster children, troubled teens, and people with disabilities.
