For the first time in months, I’m stepping away from interviews and monologues for a Borderlands Trail Running founder update.
By the time this episode goes live, my family and I will be somewhere over the Atlantic, leaving Paris after two years and moving back to Salt Lake City. I came to France thinking I was building one thing and left building another. I’m leaving with a much bigger vision for what Borderlands can become.
In this monologue, I share what changed during our time in Paris, the mission that continues to guide Borderlands, where I want the company to be over the next month, year, and decade, and how everything we’re building fits together.
In this episode
- Why Paris changed the way I think about media, culture, and Borderlands
- The mission behind Borderlands: The Heart of Trail Running
- One-month, one-year, and ten-year visions for the company
- Why Borderlands is expanding beyond podcasts
- The role of the website, newsletter, documentaries, YouTube, live events, Arcade, and Live on Course
- The contributors helping shape Borderlands, including Bryce Carlson, Inky Steve, Stan Van Kimmel, Christian Brecheis, and others
- A look at where Borderlands is headed next
