Chris Solomon is here!

He is a contributing editor to Outside Magazine, and his latest piece “I’ll take the high road” is what prompted me to reach out to him. We also talk about his GQ essay about his mother and father.

He’s @chrisasolomon on Twitter and you can find more about him and his work at chrissolomon.net.

Had a nice time around the CNFin’ campfire talking shop, freelancing, reporting on personal stories, and finding ways to make the “I” implicit vs. IN YOUR FACE.

Yeah … it’s good eatin’.

Also, a parting shot about non-striving, so please, dig in.
