95. Leadership Lessons Learned From Running with Beth Baker
Episode description
Yes, even if you hate running...you need to listen.
Our guest, Beth Baker, is the kind of person that can energize you and brighten your day just by listening to her. Her personality and her laugh are infectious.
She has built a magnetic community and business around an activity that a good portion of our population hates to do…run.
Beth is a certified running coach that knows how bad running sucks…until it doesn’t. After overcoming her own fear of running, she’s gone on to personally coach 2500 non-runners to run distances from 5k to marathons and get featured in Runner’s World Magazine. In addition to her passion for running, she loves tacos, beer, and hosting her podcast, Why We Run.
But our conversation wasn't just about fun. It was filled with a ton of insights that you can learn from, even if you still hate running.
Learn:
- Why we're dispositioned to hate running (hint: it may have to do with saber-toothed tigers) and how to get over it
- How running can teach us how to rely on others for help
- How running can improve team trust and productivity
- Why it's so important to surround yourself with people who have different strengths than you
- Why learning to fail is so important
