Ep. 94 - The Runners Central Founder Julian Guinane On Building A Running Media Empire & Overcoming A Rare Heart Condition

The Sunday Shakeout

This week on the pod is Julian Guinane!

Julian is the founder of The Runners Central, a running media company that covers everything in the world of track and field, cross country, and road racing. The Runners Central is one of the only places you will find that strives to provide daily news and headlines pertaining to the sport of running. Julian and his team do an incredible job making consistent, reliable, and just downright dope content. They have amassed over forty-one thousand followers on Instagram and that number climbs each day. Personally, I love The Runners Central and it is a place that I regularly go to stay up-to-date in the world of running.

In a nutshell, The Runners Central is pure gold.

And today on the show, Julian and I discuss the journey and growth of The Runners Central. He shares how a simple quarantine hobby has turned into not only a source of income, but a true passion and something that he loves to do. We talk all about the challenges of content creation and the importance of consistency and perseverance in order to grow in the world of content creation. Julian also details what he thinks the future of content creation in the world of running is going to look like. Julian and I also dive into his personal journey in the sport of running. Simply put, Julian was an absolute stud in high school. But he opens up about how that all came to a pause when he learned he had an extremely rare heart condition, being only one of two people in the Los Angeles County to be diagnosed with it.

There are a lot of parallels in the lessons that are important in content creation as well as in the sport of running. Lessons like consistency, hard work, perseverance, and just flat out never giving up are traits that not only help content creators, but will also bring your running to the next level.

If you are looking for an inspirational, insightful, and motivational conversation all packed into one, this one is for you.
