www.RedWagonNetwork.com www.SageIntl.com Sam Hardt is Co-Founder and Talker of Red Wagon Network and believes that the core values and strengths of a successful business and community are built on the foundation of Giving. Philanthropy has been around since the beginning of recorded history. Every major religion provides a mandate to its followers for tithing.

Each day, he says, he loves his work so much that he "runs to this job." Camping lets you explore little known out-of-the-way places, meander down scenic roads and discover natural wonders you never knew existed.
