Fire Nation. The countdown has commenced. JLD here and I'm fired up to bring you our featured

guest today, Dave, Barth, Dave. Are you prepared to ignite? I am so fired up.

I'm ready to ignite. Dave is the CEO of Run for Fun Camps, which emphasizes play for Silicon

Valley youth. He runs a summer camp that allows campers to briefly disengage from technology and

spend quality time playing, laughing and exploring nature. It is his belief that one in nature,

kids thrive. Dave, take a minute. Fill in some gaps from that intro and give us just a little

glimpse in your personal life. I am 29 years old. I love playing sports and spending time outside

and I live in Silicon Valley where technology is everywhere and sometimes I think that kids

are super glued to their smartphones and their iPads and they have so much screen time that

they're missing out on those face-to-face experiences and that's where we come in and provide outdoor

play. I'm a big fan of not only getting outside every single day, getting that natural vitamin D.

I love taking my shoes off, walking on the bay here so I have the sand on my feet, having like the

ocean kind of rushing over my feet as well. I mean, just really that connection to the earth, I think

is so huge and it's so important. I love the word that you use Dave here is not to be disengaged
