FROM WALL STREET TO MAIN STREET ON TWO WHEELS

Happy New Year; I thought it would be great to use an example of someone I have helped over the years. The following story really touches my heart with a client and fellow rider I met about a year ago. I have changed his name and some of the numbers of the principal to protect our client, but it is a very real client and I see this over and over again. John came to me about a year ago. After our meeting, I asked him to go home and gather anything that related to his financial situation so we…

The Freedom Ride

Special to Born to Ride by Wanda Kenton Smith Eight years ago, I was a harried business owner of a $20 million advertising and PR agency, juggling the roles of biz exec with that of wife, soccer mom, parental caregiver, writer/editor, and boating industry activist. My world embodied a frenzied rush of deadlines, with no time for hobbies or personal passions. I was just another highly charged workaholic running through the maze, trying desperately to maintain sanity while pursuing the elusive American dream. And then, I took a motorcycle ride. My creative director and I were in an all-day strategic…

Women’s World – Why Ride

WHY RIDE Why did I start to ride so many ask? I thought about my answer. As long as I can remember, the sound of a motorcycle would get me excited. When one passed me by, my heart would pound and I would imagine riding off into the sunset. My family continually told me ladies don’t ride motorcycles. I was told one too many times and simply decided I had to try it. I guess you can say I did it because I was told I couldn’t! How can I explain it, especially to those who have never ridden a…
