Chris Morrison has always been very active and that hasn\u2019t stopped even though he\u2019s with a public accounting firm. While Ragner Relays and hiking are his two biggest passions, he\u2019s also skydived several times and been a licensed helicopter pilot. Hiking is his \u201cbudget hobby\u201d and a quick weekend getaway from his home in Phoenix. The Flatiron Hike outside Phoenix is the one he\u2019s done the most but he\u2019s also done a lot of hiking in the Grand Canyon and Zion National Parks.
In this episode, Chris and I talk about how much these activities have allowed him to open up and have stronger connections with everyone at his firm. He used to be shy and not say much about it, but after people asked what he was doing with his PTO time, he realized how it\u2019s a great way to build relationships. He also takes pictures while he\u2019s hiking and puts those up in his cubicle as a way for others to see what he\u2019s passionate about. He firmly believes that people are what make up the personality of the firm and it\u2019s up to each individual to let that out. In his words, \u201cWe live to work \u2013 not work to live.\u201d
