3 websites to help you volunteer We all like the idea of giving back and volunteering our time, but when it comes down to it, we don't do it as much as we should. But why? Of a whole host of excuses, a big one is that it's kind of hard to know what opportunities are out there--and if they'll be things that are the right fit for you. These sites and apps are out to change that. Check them out and get started changing the world! 1. VolunteerMatch.org VolunteerMatch is the largest network for nonprofits. So far, 14.4 million...

How our National Parks came to be (and one way you didn't know you could use them)
Posted by Dan Barry on
How our National Parks came to be (and one way you didn't know you could use them) In the US, our National Parks are home to some of the greatest scenery in the country. Volcanoes in Hawai'i, the Grand Canyon, Joshua Tree and Half Dome are just a few of the landmarks that call National Parks home. The lands they reside on are preserved for their natural beauty and so that each and every one of us can enjoy them.

Celebrating a year in business: An interview with our founder
Posted by Bold Commerce Collaborator on
Celebrating a year in business: An interview with our founder Marc Skid launched just over a year ago. After 365 days of wins, losses and crap-shoots, we asked Dan Barry, Marc Skid's founder, some questions about the first year at the helm of a startup. What has one full year since launching your brand taught you? First of all, that there’s nothing better than waking up every day and having the opportunity to work on your passion, your dream. What’s the old saying? Do what you love and you’ll never work another day in your life. Marc Skid is pretty...

People making their Marc on the world: Abigail Howard
Posted by Dan Barry on
People making their Marc on the world: Abigail Howard Making your Marc on the world can look like any number of different things: making sustainable and charitable purchases, volunteering, or donating to worthy causes. But for Abigail Howard, starting her own charitable organization to fund safe houses and fight sex trafficking was the way to go. On a service trip to Tijuana, Abigail was struck by seeing survivors of awful circumstances like sex trafficking thrive thanks to a support system from a safe house there. So when she returned home in March of 2017, despite the busyness of attending college full-time...
