2021 has been an exciting year for Running for Real.  We’ve changed direction a little bit, but one thing that remains constant is our sense of community and our desire to make everyone feel included and welcome.  Our theme for the new year is #Together22, and we’re looking forward to getting to know you all better. Another change is that the Running for Real team has grown.  To help you get to know us better, the team members have chosen podcast episodes from the past year that especially resonated with them.  We hope that you enjoyed - or will enjoy - them as much as we did! These are the episodes that we selected.  To read each team member’s comments, please visit the show notes page on the Running for Real website From Kat Mackay, Community Manager: Special Edition NYC Together Run 29 Jon Green: Green is the New Bronze - R4R 264 From Maria Vargas, Strategy and Philosophy: Running Realized Episode Three: The Inner Disconnect (Shaun Martin segment) From Kelsey Wang, Head of Design and Sandy Guiterrez, Creative Content: Mishka Shubaly: We’re Here Because We’re Not All There - R4R 267 From Stacey Saunders, Events Manager: Kayleigh Williamson: Don’t Let Somebody Else Tell You What You Can and Cannot Do - R4R 270 From Jeremy Noessel, Podcast Editor and Audio Consultant: Malcolm Gladwell: A Little Focus Goes a Long Way - R4R 258 From Erica De Los Santos, Inclusion Manager: Jordan Marie Brings Three White Horses Daniel: Running for Cause - R4R 225 From Sally Pontarelli, Content and Operations Manager: Tommie Runz: You Can Only Control You at this Moment - R4R 262 A big “thank you” to all of Running for Real’s podcast guests, listeners, and partners this year!
