About Kim
- Started traveling to Colorado when she was in high school and fell in love with the state.
- When she moved there, she learned to ski; says, "Living in Vail, you get pretty good pretty quick."
- Says college, for her, was about breaking free from living with her parents, figuring out what life was about.
- She and her boyfriend talked about starting some sort of business for years; always wanted to be her own boss.
- Some of her parents' entrepreneurial friends told her that finding and following your idea is all you need to start a business.
- Says most days, she's sucked into the day-to-day operations of owning a store, but every once in a while, she sits back and thinks, "This is pretty cool."
- Didn't have a "plan B" for if Outdoor DIVAS failed; said she probably would've had to go "work for the people," get a job.
- Urges young people to experience as much as they can while they're young.
