In this special two-part episode, I sit down with Kris Hartner, founder and owner of Naperville Running Company, to hear the incredible journey of how a dream became a thriving reality.

In Part 2 of my conversation with Kris, we dive into the philosophy that drives Naperville Running Company’s success. While NRC is a running store at its core, Kris emphasizes that it’s for everyone—whether you run or not! 

He also shares the incredible culture that has led many employees to build decades-long careers with NRC, with some team members staying for over 20 years. It’s a testament to passion, purpose, and creating a business that truly values its people. 

Whether you're a runner, entrepreneur, or simply enjoy hearing stories of dedication and success, this episode is one you won’t want to miss!
