Episode 251 | Matt Taylor on Brand Building, Storytelling, and Creative Expression
<p>Matt Taylor is the co-founder and Chief Creative Officer of Tracksmith. He recently stepped down from the CEO role, which he held since 2014, to return his focus to what drew him to the brand in the first place: its creative expression.</p><p>I recently sat down with Matt in Boston to trace the full arc of his journey, from a cold letter left at a hotel for IMG founder Mark McCormick, to embedding himself in elite college cross country programs for Chasing Tradition, to funding the early days of Tracksmith with an Usain Bolt iPhone game. We talked about how each of those pursuits helped shape the brand he eventually built, and also got into what has always set Tracksmith apart: narrative-driven storytelling, reverence for the history of the sport, and a refusal to be everything to everyone.</p><p>This is a wide-ranging conversation about creativity, craft, entrepreneurship, and what it means to build something with genuine staying power that I've been waiting to have for a long time and it did not disappoint. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed having it.</p><p><a href="https://themorningshakeout.com/episode-251-matt-taylor-on-brand-building-storytelling-and-creative-expression/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Click here</a> for complete show notes and <a href="https://themorningshakeout.substack.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">sign up here</a> to get the morning shakeout email newsletter delivered to your inbox every Tuesday.</p><p>Music and editing for this episode of the morning shakeout podcast by <a href="http://baresrecords.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">John Summerford</a>.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Episode 250 | Raziq Rauf on Running Crews, Culture, and Community
<p>Raziq Rauf is the author of the forthcoming book, <a href="https://www.runningsucks101.com/p/this-is-running-raziq-rauf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">This is Running</a>, and he also writes the popular newsletter, <a href="https://www.runningsucks101.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Running Sucks</a>. Raz’ book, and his work in general, celebrates running as a sport, activity, and culture, and digs into the people, events, trends, and technology that push it forward.</p><p>I sat down with Raz in his adopted hometown of Los Angeles before the 2026 L.A. Marathon and we covered a wide range of topics, from the increased excitement around that particular event, to the evolution of run crew culture in that city, to the growth and strength of community in general. We also discussed his background as a journalist and a runner, how his relationship to running has evolved over time, why he started writing about running a few years ago (and how that led to the publication of his first book), and a lot more.</p><p><a href="https://themorningshakeout.com/episode-250-raziq-rauf-on-running-crews-culture-and-community/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Click here</a> for complete show notes and <a href="https://themorningshakeout.substack.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">sign up here</a> to get the morning shakeout email newsletter delivered to your inbox every Tuesday.</p><p>Music and editing for this episode of the morning shakeout podcast by <a href="http://baresrecords.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">John Summerford</a>.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
