Kory Helgens joins Mario to have a conversation about the two storms that guided him to starting Spring Run Design Company. He talks about being struck by lightning and surviving with no injuries, but feeling a nudge and making the decision to take it as a sign to move forward and live out his purpose through his company.

Kory Helgens is the founder of Spring Run Design Company. Spring Run Design Company is an outdoor lifestyle brand and woodworking company that was born in the plains that was created in the mountains. 

Two storms created the brand and are the foundation of the company. A storm that knocked down 63 trees on the Helgens’ Farmstead in rural Iowa that created a self-taught woodworker.  To a storm and lightning strike hitting founder Kory Helgens, 9,000 feet up in the mountains of Colorado pushing him to create and launch the SRD Co apparel brand. 

From their apparel that is designed in house to their canoe paddles and one of a kind woodworking pieces, SRD Co is a company that focuses on quality handmade goods and the great outdoors.
