In episode thirty-three of The Running Effect (with Dominic Schlueter), I speak with Michael Bergmann President of Portland Track and Principal Consultant at IncubatorU.

We explore so many topics and hear so many amazing stories in this conversation. Michael is easily one of the most successful people I've ever had the privilege of speaking to. He gives us insight into his successful life and takes us inside his journey. We hear about his childhood where he competed for the Portland Track Club, his high school adventures (including testing shoes for Nike), his 31yrs at Nike, starting a consulting company, being the President of Portland Track, and so much more!

This is a must-listen for anyone who wants insight into a successful life.
