Hilary Yang wears many hats within the world of trail running, including that of photographer, podcaster, and more recently, race director. But this wasn't always the case. Just a decade ago, she was on a very different path, building a career in the corporate world.

I sat down with Hilary to talk about what led her to make the leap from corporate to creative, how she’s carved out a unique space in the trail running community, and the evolution of her work as a content creator.

Andy Glaze has been running 100 miles each week for close to 5 years, while inspiring hundreds of thousands with his short form content. But with this growing audience comes some negativity. I sit down to chat with him about how he manages all of this feedback both good and bad, about his approach to content, and why he's chosen to remain sponsor free.
