I'm Mike Rudd and I do my best to create for the world items that bring about positive social change for all beings on the planet. How did I get to where I am?

I sold over 75,000 Hot Dogs working at a hot dog stand in college during the day to pay my way through a business degree at Ohio State at night. I realized working at the hot dog stand how much I loved my job and we all have "hot dog stands" in our lives and our work is better when we attempt to do something we believe in and love in our lives.

After the hot dog stand I supported businesses through sports marketing, crowdfunding startups, and product design for 15 plus years. I did it by building ideas from the ground up and partnerships that truly worked to help the business but also the community.  It resulted in the opportunity to work with over 450 global, national, regional, and hyper local businesses.  My philosophy was all about being yourself, having fun, tapping into passions, and building ideas from the ground up!  My book The Passionate Marketing Revolution took this philosophy into a step by step process for business and individuals to learn and implement for themselves.

Since that book I have written two more books, nurtured my outdoor adventure community I co-founded (Hashtag59), worked at two outdoor adventure based startups (Happy People Hike and Roamie) and been the COO of Hutchison Media. I have also been a nomad on the road with my partner and dog for over four years while volunteering extensively in the communities we live in.

My focus now is sharing the nomad journey and my health and wellness experiences and programs.
Thanks for being part of my crew, I'm glad you're here!
Happy Trails, Mike
