Simon Freeman, editor and co-founder of popular running magazine Like the Wind, joins us this week to talk about storytelling, running and his love for books and the analogue that led him to create and launch a print magazine at a time where people were saying print was dead and digital media was taking over. We discuss what it was like to launch a magazine as a publishing novice, focused on the stories behind running and the meaning that running has to so many of us. We talk about what it took to launch that first issue, and how it’s grown over the last 10 years. Simon shares candidly about the infertility struggles he and his wife experienced and the knock-on effects of this difficult time on his running. Listen in as Simon reflects on the significance of consistent effort and accountability in both running and business. This episode is a must-listen for anyone passionate about running, storytelling, and the enduring pursuit of personal and professional growth.
