Mikey Ricks is a filmmaker and creative director at Koda Collective, and the founder of Boring Run Club. His work spans visual storytelling and endurance, shaped by discipline, repetition, and a commitment to process over time.

This conversation explores the realities of building a creative career developing a voice, sustaining momentum, and producing work that resonates beyond the surface. Mikey reflects on losing years of creative output and the challenge of starting again without losing direction. We also look at how running and community reflect the same principles required in his work — structure, accountability, and consistency. A discussion on identity, creative pressure, and the demands of staying committed over time.
