John outlines the high cost of “Nature Deficit Disorder” and shares the essential strategies and techniques to motivate, inspire, and empower everyone, adults and children alike, to combat it. Audiences also learn why we resist getting outdoors and The Trailmaster’s four-step process for overcoming what’s holding us back on the long and winding trail we call life.

As John explains his mission, “I’ve walked a lot of life trails—happy and sad, easy and challenging and, frankly, more than one path to nowhere. What I’ve learned I want to share. Take a hike, and change your life!”
