Chad and Stacie Vanags' backyard cutting garden has become a healing sanctuary for the couple and others, following Chad's stage 4 lung cancer diagnosis.
Stacie Vanags is all about keeping her cup full. Literally and figuratively. She’s a big tea drinker, and believes it’s a conduit to storytelling. But as an analogy, she can’t help others unless her cup is full, and a he works to remind people to keep their own cups overflowing every day. As a health worker who navigates the corporate world, Stacie focuses on mental wellness and breaking down the stigma attached to it with companies and employers. While hosting the Salted Spirit Podcast, she discusses surfing and wellness (especially mental wellness) with a wide variety of guests.
It’s here! This is a day we’ve all been excited for at
The Inertia, where we finally get to share the great stories and inspiration of our Third Annual EVOLVE Summit presented by White Claw and Kindhumans.
We’re proud to keep the tradition of celebrating individuals making a positive impact on surf and outdoor culture alive…and it’s
The Inertia’s 10th anniversary…so it’s nice to finish 2020 on an uplifting note. We’ve done our very best to preserve the energy of our annual gathering for good digitally – taking you into the spaces and mindsets of individuals we deeply respect on the vanguard of Innovation, Creativity, Social Impact, Environment, DIY, and Health and Wellness.
No one did.
The year 2020 has taught us to forget what we know – that nothing’s sacred and nothing can be taken for granted. Typically, we’re reminded of the meaning of those phrases in traumatic, isolated moments that we experience mostly separate from one another. Rarely is the sentiment so collectively clear. But, alas, here we are.
To cap off 2020, we are so grateful to bob and weave our way through a tumultuous twelve months to host our Third Annual EVOLVE Summit celebrating individuals making positive impacts on surf and outdoor culture. It also happens to be
The Inertia’s 10th anniversary, a milestone I’m not sure I ever clearly imagined. But, here it is. This is it. (Confetti popper!)
