Hey, fam, welcome to the free trail podcast. Always a privilege to have you here. Of course,

I am Dylan Bowman here

today with a special guest. One of the most respected and hardest working people in the trail running

community, Jamil Curry, is the founder, owner, and CEO of Aeroviper Running, the media and events

company based in Phoenix, Arizona that is now expanding around the United

States. They have a full operation in Colorado, and it was just announced recently that

Ara Vipa would be acquiring White Mountain Endurance, a five race series in New England,

bringing their wildly popular race experiences to the East Coast for the first time. I've wanted to have

Jamil on the show forever, and it feels like this was the perfect time to finally make it happen.

We talk all about what makes Jamil unique, the origin story of Ara Vipa, lessons in leadership.

We talk about Aerovipa's media arm, their recent expansion, first to Colorado,

and just recently to the East Coast. We talk about lessons in growing and scaling businesses,

the current event landscape in the sport and Ariva's position within it, and a lot more.

I have so much respect for Jamil, and I am so grateful he would come on the show.

I hope you all enjoyed the episode.
