And now I've kind of learned that like it's important to set those goals for yourself and like strive towards them. But like you're not defined by if you hit it or not. Like what's important about setting goals is just the trajectory and journey that sets you on. And whether or not you hit it, it doesn't necessarily matter most. What matters most is like all the things you learn through just being consistent in something towards something. Because you might not know what you want to do or whatever, but as long as you just keep moving, you'll find it out like sooner or later. So my goal, I don't like have a specific like metric goal in running. I just want to continue to love it, continue to improve in it, stay consistent with it, and just see how far it takes me. Nico Felich, the man with the hardest name to pronounce in this building. Welcome to the Running Effect podcast. How you doing? Thanks for having me. I'm excited to be here. Just got done with a little run. That's why my hair's wet. Now I'm excited. Still catching your breath? Still catching my breath a little bit. It was hot in the gym. But yeah, this is my first sit-down podcast of time so let's go this is exciting honored to be

reveal lemon lime yeah we got some lemon lime zero to 10 ranking i got to give it a 10

and it tastes like lemon lime so have you tried the g1m sport plus i I have. What's your take on it? Dude, I like it. I just like a little caffeine. I don't take it all the time, but it's like if it's really early in the morning, I just want something. I'll take that. But yeah, it's just been great on just like long run days. Just give you a little extra something.

Totally.

It's so nice having them in the bottles. Dude, Loki, I'm not the biggest fan of Shay can't. No, dude. I'm so easy. I'm kind of lazy. So, yeah, having it in the bottles, I just stock my fridge, keep them all cold, and then I don't have to do any work in the morning. So that's been really nice.

Yeah.

So elite.

You graduated college when

this past spring or last spring? When was it? It would have been last wintertime. Oh, okay.

So it's been like a year and a half. Wow. Since I've been out fully and which is, it's felt like

forever since I was in college, but it's really not been that long. But life just starts like ripping by when you're done with college. Like things just move so fast. So, yeah, it's been a year and a half since I've been out. And made the decision to go full time with content creation? Yeah, yeah. So I started in college, like my second year of college. and I don't know, I had no real plans.

Like my idea was just to go to college, do get like a marketing degree.

I had no plans at all.

And through college, started building my social media, kind of like unintentionally.

And then all of a sudden it got to the point in college where I was like, dang, I could do this, like, as a living,

or for a living. And, and then, yeah, kind of, like, segueed out of college into this full-time, which was, like, very unexpected. Never, like, expected my life to take kind of this route, but I'm, I'm loving it. Like, I'm having such a great time with it. And, like, ultimately like filmmaking and running and fitness like that's what I'm so passionate about and so it makes total sense why my life is taking

this route but I did not see it coming that's for sure what was the first piece of content you

ever posted do you remember um well I mean I've been making videos since I was like really young

so when 2012 when I think it was like the iPhone 4 came out, I would take my mom's phone and like make videos with my friends. And like my number one goal was like to be a YouTuber. Like no joke, my friends and I every week would make these like little skits. And we just wanted to be YouTubers. And it never worked out at all. Like we made the worst videos of all time. They're still on

YouTube if you do a little deep dive, which now I'm going to go private them all. Yeah, so

like I've always had a passion for making videos and stuff, but it wasn't until college when
