With Immense success in entrepreneurship and business comes great responsibility to become a leader in the community, society and world at large. For Jason Pierce, the founder of Chronic® Athletics, he was thrown into the mix and has happily taken the mantle to change the world in his own little capacity through Chronic Outreach.

Chronic Outreach was established to create groundbreaking initiatives to move society forward. The initiative adds value to the lives of struggling individuals and enables them to live a life that fits their vision. Over the years, Chronic® Athletics has been at the forefront of improving people’s conditions and giving individuals the opportunity to explore more positive experiences while hoping for a better future. In addition, the athletic and sports equipment provider has reinvented ski technology by creating an innovative ski system that combines the power of Chronic Cambo CCT design.

Through Chronic Outreach, Jason Pierce is spreading his tentacles beyond the sports realm by building and restoring hope among struggling inidvidualsworldwide. Chronic Outreach provides life-changing opportunities to people who have suffered from abuse, human trafficking, and slave trading through outdoor recreation. The platform serves as a go-to resource center for all outdoor activities and enables individuals to enjoy sports and a positive outdoor experience at the same time. It gives people the confidence to try out new things like skiing without feeling intimidated or incapable.

Being a go-getter himself, Jason Pierce is committed to creating an enabling environment for people who want to achieve their life goals despite all odds. “I used all the knowledge and skills I acquired over the years to create a design that makes skiing easier to understand and learn. By materializing this vision of mine, I hope to see more first-time users taking a step towards a better life,” Jason said, describing his work at Chronic® Athletic. The company has been able to embark on these life-changing initiatives thanks to its profitable partnerships with notable bodies and the company’s performance in high-profile events. Chronic® Athletics is currently the official ski supplier to the United States Army’s Legendary 10th Mountain Division, a spot it best ten other top brand-name ski companies to clinch. It has also won more than 67 medals from competing in events sanctioned by Red Bull, IFSA and USASA.

Jason’s commitment to Chronic Outreach is geared towards promoting the power of wellness, positive experiences and recovery. He also wants to set an actionable template and example for the next generation of changemakers to follow and maneuver when building the next purpose-driven initiatives. Over the next five years, Jason sees Chronic Outreach having a nationwide presence while expanding internationally.
