Nicholas Thompson, CEO of The Atlantic, journalist, lifelong runner, and author of the brand-new book The Running Ground, joins Marni on the Marni On The Move podcast this week. Nicholas shares the inspiration behind his book and the many chapters of running in his life — from his training, evolution, and achievements to running as a family activity and a form of moving meditation. He talks about his favorite running routes through the city, the shoes he loves, memorable races, and how endurance, rhythm, and mindset fuel both his athletic and professional success.

Marni and Nicholas also dive into the intersection of running and innovation — exploring how AI is transforming the media landscape, the future of storytelling, and the tools everyday users can tap into. Plus, Nicholas shares insights from his own show, The Most Interesting Thing in A.I., where he explores the latest developments shaping the world of AI.

This is a thoughtful, inspiring conversation about movement, leadership, creativity, and staying grounded — in sport, in work, and in life.
