This week we welcome Mina Guli to the pod. Mina shares her unique journey from a background in law and finance to becoming a water advocate and ultra runner. She discusses her pivotal moments of realization regarding the global water crisis and how she uses her running as a tool for advocacy. 

We talk about:

• the importance of storytelling in raising awareness and driving change

• her personal evolution as a runner and advocate. 

• The Thirst Foundation, her global nonprotif for water advocacy and action

• the necessity of community, vulnerability, and resilience in tackling the water crisis

• Not necessarily enjoying running all the time (but doing it anyways for an environmental cause)
