Summary
"Run hard, risk heartbreak."
Today's podcast is the story of Heartbreak Hill Running Company. Heartbreak Hill Running Company was established in 2009 by Dan Fitzgerald and Justin Burdon. Today on the podcast I have the privilege of diving deep into this story with Co-Founder and Chief Heartbreaker Dan Fitzgerald. Dan is an incredible man who brings out the best in others. Throughout all of his work, he has inspired countless lives.
Dan and I dive deep into his own personal story, the story of Heartbreak, the sacrifice it has taken to get this far, and so much more. This conversation will go down as one of my favorites. It was a very light-hearted conversation surrounding many interesting topics. I hope you all enjoy it as much as we did!
