These interviews were part of Good Morning, Austin - our daily show from The Running Event in Austin, Texas. Every day, Dylan talked to industry leaders about brand and product innovation shaping the trail running landscape. This week, we'll release a few "Best Of" episodes here in the podcast feed. Todays guests:
Clark Morgan & Don Reichelt from Speedland (04:43)
Dylan is joined by Clark Morgan, new Director of Brand Experience at Speedland and Don Reichelt, a founding Speedland athlete. They talk about Clark’s background, how he’s now focused on building the brand and community around Speedland, and what’s next for the brand. They share a (sweet!) upcoming prototype that we can’t wait to get our hands on.
Larissa Rivers & Tim Myers from Strava (28:28)
Larissa
was one of the first employees at Strava back when it was a
fledgling startup in San Francisco. Her legend precedes her - she’s
a real life energizer bunny who crushes her job, being a mom of 3
amazing girls, and supporting those around her to move their bodies
and be their best selves. She’s joined by her colleague Tim, who
works in Product at Strava, and has played a key role in major
updates like the Local Legend feature. They announce a new and very
exciting messaging feature that is coming soon - this episode is
embargoed until Monday 12/4 when the launch can be shared more
broadly.
Monica Devreese, Founder of Rabbit Apparel (51:21)
Monica is
the founder of Rabbit, one of the core brands in trail running. Her
limitless energy and passion to build the brand is infectious. They
talk about her entrepreneurial journey, how she’s built Rabbit and
how the brand is going. Plus, they quickly speak to Erik Senseman’s
recent retirement announcement. It’s always great to hear and learn
from Monica, we hope you enjoy. PS: She had a really fun off-camera
teaser for us after the interview that we’ll release when the
time's right. Stay tuned for big things coming from
Monica!
