Martin’s business thrives on creative collaboration

Stephen Martin’s former UCCS classmates might well consider that his work experiences have strayed the furthest from his 2015 bachelor’s degree in health care science. What began as an informal Instagram chronicling outdoor adventures with his dog Ollie, @explorewithollie, morphed into a video/photography/design/content creation business called Explore With Media. Once Martin discovered his love for multifaceted video production, he toyed with the idea of moving to another urban area like Portland, Oregon, but decided Colorado Springs’ current growth phase would generate the level of creative collaboration that’s critical to growing his business.
