Ahead of its premiere, Rawk on prepares to be the #1 internet video series for understanding the climbing world and the life lessons it can teach individuals. The video series will educate new climbers on safety, etiquette, technique, vocabulary, and training tools that may seem obvious to those who have been in the sport for years. This series sets out to make the sport less intimidating through its position as a free educational resource. The first iteration of the series will cover indoor and outdoor bouldering and sport climbing, and each episode will feature a different climbing icon.

We are living in a mental health epidemic because most people in modern society are missing connection and missing experience. Connection Experience is a YouTube show built to bring people together, help them experience the natural world, and connect with things they've never tried. The show will consist of several series that connect people to experiences. We get people terrified of sport into rock climbing, BJJ, and surfing. We get people who rarely spend time outdoors, outside. We help older women feel comfortable and visible in public again. Our mission is fueled by our belief that everyone deserves to experience connection.
