"Don't look to the world to find your purpose, find your purpose and share it with the world" this is one quote that perfectly describes the essence of Russ Rautsch.  Before Russ was deep in the pool of mindfulness, he helped lead a company of 20 people and turn it into a successful company of over 600 employees.  Russ uses his business savvy past and mixes it perfectly with hs understanding of mindfulness to create Vision Pursue, with the hop that he will turn more people on to the practice of mindfulness.    Vision Pursue Website Ross Rautsch: Ringer Article
