Hey Utahans! Looking for fun things to do that won't break the bank? Tune in as we chat with Kaysie and Tosh, the dynamic duo behind EXPLORINGNOTBORING. Discover how their journey led to the creation of an innovative platform designed to help locals and visitors find unique, affordable, and enriching experiences.

Show Highlights:
In this episode, we dive deep into the origins of EXPLORINGNOTBORING. Kaysie and Tosh started their adventure back in 2020 after feeling frustrated with toxic work environments. Long walks sparked dreams of a different life, filled with new experiences and meaningful connections. During one of these walks, the name "EXPLORINGNOTBORING" was born—and it felt like a perfect fit from the start.

Their initial concept involved an "adventure dart" with over 200 spontaneous activities, color-coordinated by type and cost. While they considered turning these adventure jars into a product, they ultimately decided to focus on something bigger: a platform for uniquely local experiences.

The brand quickly evolved. Starting with an Instagram page, they hesitated to embrace the influencer role at first. However, their coworkers loved the idea, and Kaysie and Tosh soon realized the power of social media in sharing their vision of local adventures.

Building the EXPLORINGNOTBORING platform was a journey. They custom-built a marketplace with a robust booking system to support local experiences, helping users avoid tourist traps and engage in genuine, enriching activities with passionate local experts.

Some standout offerings include a sourdough workshop led by a health-conscious expert. This workshop transformed their approach to baking—and even led to giving out homemade bread for Christmas!

Supporting local entrepreneurs is at the heart of EXPLORINGNOTBORING. The platform operates on a revenue share model, making it free for partners to join, with a commission only taken on tickets sold. This helps support free and low-cost events, ensuring accessibility for all.

Throughout the episode, Kaysie and Tosh's positive energy and entrepreneurial spirit shine through. They emphasize the importance of surrounding yourself with positive people and experiences, especially in today's media landscape.

Key Quotes:
"We realized through our conversations that we thrive when experiencing new things and connecting with cool people."
"Our platform's key is uniquely local experiences, ensuring they're enriching and led by passionate local experts."
"We set up our business model to make it accessible for everyone, supporting free events and local entrepreneurs."
