After a break, the podcast is back. And how! I'm excited to kick-off our next line of guests with non other than my partner in crime Nick Cusseneers. It's been a while since we shared about our own journey. But many exciting projects are cooking and we no longer wanted to withhold them from you. We both changed since our last conversations, so in this one we also expanded on how our perspective on...

Did you know "Running while black" is an issue affecting Black runners when they go out to log their miles?   I can't even imagine what it would be like having to worry about that every time I happen to go for a run in the dark.   But it's just one of the many examples Terrance shared.   To be honest, I felt anxious about this episode.   Not only do I feel ashamed I know so lit...

2 years ago, Thomas' mind didn't have an off switch and his emotions felt like Pandora's box. But when he continued to run into the same triggers in his relationship he somehow was drawn into the discomfort instead of scared away from it. Today, it feels like he's living out Thomas 2.0. I keep being amazed to hear stories about how quickly your life can turn around when you're ready to consciously...

"Psychedelics helped me see how deeply I was tying my self-worth to how much I could charge per day." Going from McKinsey & Company to founding his own business offering psychedelic experiences, Greg shares an inspiring story in our latest podcast. He learned firsthand how painful it can be to live disconnected from your body, how your body always keeps the score, and how psychedelics have helped...

6 years ago, I had no clue a relationship could be so powerful. So, if there's anything extraordinary about my own life, it's my relationship with @justineseynhaeve . Not because we don't push each others buttons, but because of the way we navigate that tension. Instead of pointing at flaws in arguments, we learned to own our insecurities. Instead of keeping ourselves small to avoid conflict, we'v...

What does it take to run a relay along the entire European coast? 3.5 years ago, it started out as an idea to run non-stop, but logistics and finances required a different approach. Now, each year, runners are covering 20 stages of 100km to continue to chunk at the 100 000km of European coast. Each runner has to be able to finish a 100km stage before handing over the figurative torch to the next o...

"When I run, I understand why I exist." - Sung Woo I knew we would vibe, but I didn't realize it would be at this level. We hardly covered any of the topics I had planned for. I just couldn't help but flow with this conversation. And we went deep. We talked about how Sung had tied his identity to sports and how it hurt him. How running was a saving grace in his struggle with depression, only to ab...

I first thought Jurian was crazy.⁠ ⁠ Why would you consider starting a new company in such competitive and seemingly saturated market?⁠ ⁠ But when we started talking, it all made sense.⁠ ⁠ His passion for running and knowledge of the running shoe business go deep.⁠ ⁠ Having worked at Nike, Asics, Newton, and 361 for a total of 16 years, it's no surprise he knows the running business inside out.⁠ ⁠...

Dimitri, poet, journalist, runner, captain in the Antwerp Running Crew (ARC), and overall radiant human being. He got into running 14 years ago and has run 2 marathons a year for the past 12. He went from finishing his first in over 5 hours to now shooting to run a sub 3. But even though this is an inspirational transformation, it's hardly what running is about for Dimitri. We talk about what runn...
