Editor’s Note: This is a guest post from Annie Disano of Taking Tokyo. Why don’t we go on adventures anymore? I mean it, world–we used to do things like climb Mount Everest, or put man on the Moon. Even the word “adventure” is desirable–it hints at a journey full of excitement, discovery, and little bits of risk….
Just like anyone else, I battle distraction and opportunity overwhelm on a daily basis. There are so many things I could do, that might be worth it.

We’ve been releasing a series of videos over the past few weeks, and shared the success stories of some of our awesome members. And last…
We’re rebuilding Trailblazer from the ground up, and it’s time that we got a new emblem to match the new, and improved version of this community.
