I think you could probably go back and track the stages of grief, probably that is what I went through. But I think if you do it right, you end up at acceptance. And that's where I ended up. And that's not to say that I've fully accepted the idea that the golden toad is extinct. Personally, I do still hold out hope that it could still be out there in those forests." - Trevor Ritland This conversation is with Trevor Ritland, who—along with his twin brother Kyle—authored The Golden Toad . The book chronicles their remarkable journey into Costa Rica’s cloud forest, once home to hundreds of brilliant golden toads that would emerge for just a few weeks each year—until, one day, they vanished without a trace. What began as a search for a lost species soon became something much more profound: a confrontation with ecological grief, a meditation on hope, and a powerful call to protect the natural world while we still can.

Quotes
"When we first started applying EOS in our household, it was a game-changer. We replaced traditional business roles with 'relationship management.' Suddenly, we weren’t just parents but a team with defined roles. It helped us communicate better and prioritize what truly matters to us as a family."
"As our lives evolved, so did our roles. There were times when Jeff had to step up into more operational responsibilities. I had to transition into a visionary role, especially when we faced unexpected changes at the gym. It’s a continuous evolution, and being adaptable is key."
"One of the biggest challenges is aligning personal aspirations with business goals. We’ve started using a Vision/Traction Organizer to merge both. It’s about creating harmony, not just juggling responsibilities. When our personal values align with our business, everything flows better."
"Building genuine connections is essential for business growth. It’s about having an abundance mindset—seeking support rather than pretending to have it all figured out. When we lean on each other, we create a stronger community."
"Establishing daily, weekly, and monthly routines is crucial for preventing burnout. Getting lost in the hustle is easy, but carving out time for health and relationships is non-negotiable. We need that rhythm to thrive."
