THE FIRST STEP (BEFORE THE FIRST MILE)
I didn’t set out to build a brand. I set out to run. Like many people, I was looking for something more—more clarity, more energy, more purpose. I didn’t find it in a boardroom or on a spreadsheet. I found it somewhere between the quiet footfalls of an early morning run and the cold snap […]
