Paul Soroudi is someone whose life has been shaped by saying yes. He didn’t grow up in an athletic family, but a simple invitation to join cross country in 10th grade sparked a lifelong relationship with movement. After building a successful business in his early years, Paul returned to running in adulthood, completing marathons, trail races, and hundreds of local competitions. More recently, pickleball became both his workout and his social lifeline, especially during lockdowns, helping him meet people, manage stress, and build community. Now calling St. George, Utah home, this 56-year-old runs trails, plays pickleball almost daily, takes classes to stay mentally sharp, and keeps saying yes, proving that active living is really about curiosity, connection, and movement.
