Episode 25: Run4Troops in Dubuque, IA | Charlie and Maggie Berens
Today Carrie Millerller and I welcome 1/6 of the Berens children to the latest On Pace Podcast as On Pace Run Coaching, LLC client Maggie Berens who was our guest in the second week of this series is back along with her brother, Charlie Berens.
I'll paraphrase the story as best I can: a few years back, Charlie and a buddy or two decided to throw one of his dad's old hunting jackets on Charlie and pay tribute to some characteristics of a hard core Wisconsinite. They filmed a video, thought maybe a few people might get a kick out of the Manitowoc Minute and lo and beyond, a few years later he has over a million followers and is a household name around these parts.
Beyond being hilarious, Charlie's driven to give back. One of the Manitowoc Minute's consistent charitable channels over time has been veterans and active military and with this weekend's final race in the Happy Space. Virtual Race Series, we travel to Dubuque, Iowa where we partake in Run4Troops. Started over a decade ago by the Hodge family, this race takes all profits and contributes them right back to those in the armed forces, last year generating over $50,000.
Whatever we collect this week will go to the VFW of Wisconsin and we appreciate the chance to Keep 'er Movin to our finish line with Charlie and Maggie today.

Episode 24: Bellin Run in Green Bay, WI | Brandon and Callie Mesiner
Welcome to another OnPace Podcast!
Today, Carrie Miller and I sit with Brandon and Callie Meisner, owners of the wellness company MOVE Fitness Studio. MOVE had opened their doors in November of 2018 and over the next 18 months had built a community that hit the nail right on the head.
Everything Brandon and Callie wanted to accomplish was happening and, in fact, through 15 hours days/nights, in March 2020 they were about to realize their first profitable month.
And then, stay-at-home, COVID, quarantine hit and their life and business was upside down. So much so that on May 19, they had to say goodbye to their business and this particular dream and shut it down.
Callie and Brandon are tough cookies. Hard workers. Great athletes. Relationship focused. And natural leaders. This unfortunate turn of business events was some yucky lemons but they are going to make lemonade, maybe not today but in the future, as their attitude remains upbeat and their drive is unmistakable.

Episode 23: Citizens Bank Shamrock Half and Relay in Manchester, NH | John Mortimer
Welcome to another edition of the OnPace Podcast!
Tonight we welcome back John Mortimer of Millennium Running. When the Citizens Bank Shamrock Half and Relay was cancelled in mid March for their March 29 event, we were super bummed! On Pace stars Sara Carter and Avi Kelley were set to lead the team and they were set to have quite the killer crew as we were prepared to embark on our second race in Manchester, NH.
Since then? Millenium Running has gone straight up awesome trying to figure out new ways to engage their community and keep things moving. From the beginning of CoVid until now, they have done just that. John and his staff are extremely entrepreneurial and innovative in the running space and he shares some of the ways they have shifted gears with us tonight!
I neglected to mention in our podcast our charity partner for this week is Holly Blanchard and the team at Children's Hospital of Dartmouth. I got to spend some time with Holly this morning and this dynamic woman will be joining us on Saturday at noon for the Zoom call.
See you then and THANKS, John and Millenium!
