Next time you're on Instagram, search the phase #liveBANGS. What you'll probably find are a screen full of artsy pictures of BANGS shoes worn by happy people doing thrilling activities you would find on your bucket list.

The phrase #liveBANGS is not only a casual saying within the BANGS community but it is also a mission statement. BANGS Shoes is a shoe company that has impacted lives around the globe with what their #liveBANGS tagline stands for.

The #liveBANGS mission is all about using your every day adventure to help others find theirs. BANGS Shoes uses 20% of their net profits to provide loans to fuel entrepreneur's passions through the kiva.org portal. Small business owners from around the world receive partial funding from BANGS to help make their business dreams come true. BANGS hand picks each entrepreneur every month to ensure that a personal connection is established.

The personal aspect of BANGS goes as far as Hannah Davis, CEO and Founder of BANGS Shoes, reaches out with personal phone call interviews with thousands of Brand Ambassador applicants. BANGS' emphasis on where they put their time and effort is what sets them apart from every other brand.

People connect through sharing and communicating their adventures while wearing their BANGS. It is a unique community built around helping others while pushing themselves to explore the world around them.

Sure there are other companies that stand for something bigger than making a buck or two, but I have yet to hear about a company that takes the time and effort to personally connect with their ambassadors the way BANGS does. They find ways to keep their supporters in touch with one another.

I have learned a lot about encouraging others through being a part of the BANGS community and because of that I will always #liveBANGS. Whether you wear the shoes or not, I challenge you to make #liveBANGS a lifestyle.
