Greetings, Friends!
At the inception of the RUNATL Podcast, D2 and I promised to take you where few others could in this Pedestrian-Active Lifestyle we all love so much… And today we do just that, as we give you unfettered access to how the “sausage is made” on the product that is, perhaps, our most important piece of equipment: our running shoes! Our Featured Conversation with Rod Foley, former Mizuno and Under Armour exec, and current Founder & Principal at 5AM Brands gives us an insight we would otherwise have to drastically change careers and travel abroad to Asian factories to get… We also do our “Couple of Questions” segment with Jim Weber, CEO, Brooks Sports, as he and his team continue to enjoy success as BPRC’s present share leader in the Footwear category… Yes, all this and more and in a single episode! 😊
Listen on! Share often! The Show Notes are below…
