#67 - Ed Flood
Ed Flood is the founder of Trail Pursuit, which is known for its unique trail race festivals & adventure retreats for people who love the great outdoors. But who was he before that?
We started off the episode by talking about his upbringing, being positively influenced and growing up where giving back was a standard and strong family value.
He spent his formative years on a pursuit of his own, exploring things that kept him out of trouble, from Tennis to entering charity events to help those who may be less privileged, until eventually he took up running and found his stride. Setting up a successful crowd funder and beginning his entrepreneurial endeavours.
But things quickly take a drastic turn when later, while in the first year of building the Trail Pursuit brand, he was hit with a marriage breakup that caused him to really have to dig deep and navigate the terrain he found himself on. Ed speaks about the tactics he used to help keep him focused on the bigger vision of giving back to those who are out there on a pursuit of their own, to better themselves and show up in their lives as the hero of their story, while dealing with his own struggles in his story.
We've personally been connected for a while now and I have seen qualities in him that are rare to find in people these days - he also invited me to speak on stage at his upcoming event in the Lake District. Again, out of service and a genuine desire to give back to others.
Ed's heart is big. He does things out of a love for doing them and always wants to do something for others, even when he himself is in times of hardship.
He is loved and supported by his team and they continue to grow what is the fastest growing trail running community in the UK.
Ed's shares with us vulnerably in this episode, and I am thankful for the space we got to share.
