How The Momentum Framework Came to Be

I built healthy, Agile businesses with XploreOutdoorz. I've applied the foundation of The Momentum Framework across a very wide range of business models, from startups and non-profits to family-owned businesses and small teams.

Throughout the past decade working in and with outdoor businesses, I identified a gap: businesses understood what they needed to do but struggled with the how. The Momentum Framework was designed to bridge that gap, combining practical tools with strategic vision to create a cycle of continuous improvement that empowers businesses to thrive in an increasingly competitive landscape.

With operations optimized, you have the capacity to innovate, which strengthens your foundation and the cycle continues.

This holistic approach ensures that outdoor businesses don't just grow—they evolve, adapt, and lead.
