We had the good fortune of connecting with Richard Bronson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Richard, how do you think about risk?
Being a content creator of Rock Crawling and off-road we have followed the same rules of risk in our business

that we have learned in our off-road passion. We have learned that calculated risk has been our most powerful

tool. being able to weigh out what you stand to win & loose and knowing if the risk is worth

the possibility of the loss. Risk always brings out your best in business and life as it forces you to focus and preform

at the highest level. The path with the least risk is over traveled and the rewards are diluted as the path with risk that is rarely traveled is concentrated with rewards.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
We are Rock crawling content creators we have the most extreme off-road YouTube channel with a goal to bring people interested in off-roading along with us on our adventures. We give tips and trick for all level of off-roaders to help them become better drivers and teach them the importance off doing your part in cleaning trails. Although
we are based in Arizona we travel regularly through out the southwest in search of newer more challenging adventures. We also have a off-road lifestyle brand that sells merch that is tailored to express and represent the off-road community.

We are most proud of the effect and impacted we have had on the Off-road Community. Hearing and seeing others become Off-Road content creators hearing and seeing their stories and adventures that were inspired
by ours. Hearing people gathering trash and practicing good off-road etiquette and setting good examples to keep trails and Arizona public lands clean

Jess my fiancé and I have both been off-roading most of our lives but started getting serious with content creating 3 years ago. It has been hard being self tough to video edit and film to be able to create content and becoming a content creator takes the most time with the least reward in the beginning. We stuck to it and have gotten where we are at from pure passion for what we do and the enjoyment of helping the 4×4 community. We have found when you work with what your passionate about the struggles and successes don’t effect what you do as your doing it because you love it and would be doing it weather or not you had a business associated with it.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
We don’t do much in the city as we are mainly outdoors. Anything we would do would be outdoors related or off the beaten path., For example. Take the back roads to Crown King or Jerome, eat at the local restaurants there and explore the mining history and Arizona back country.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Natural Restorations has strengthened the way we clean and take care of trails. They are a non profit organization

with a mission to restore nature without closing down access to recreational use. While we push the limits of our

recreational sport we pick up as much trash on the trails weather its from irresponsible recreational users or trash

have been washed down from roads above. We encourage others to do the same and it is easy and highly

beneficial for our local trails and environment. showing them its easier to pick it up then it is to complain about

how it got there and not do anything about it

Natural restorations has shown us the correct ways to dispose of trash with encouraging and supporting us in

any way that they possibly can.
