Bio
I am a former Fortune 500 Executive who retired early in 2014. Since then, I have been mentoring early-stage social entrepreneurs who use business to bring positive social changes. In addition, I run with people who are traditionally excluded from running spaces to create a more inclusive running community. My work in both fields is driven by my passion for social justice.
Until May 2022, I hosted a podcast called Social Entrepreneur. After all this time, it still ranks in the top 1% of podcasts globally. I also wrote a best-selling book titled "Crazy Good Advice: 10 Lessons Learned from 150 Leading Social Entrepreneurs." I have given two TEDx talks. I continue to be a sought-after speaker.
As an RRCA certified coach, I run with people at drug rehab centers, homeless shelters, and prison reentry programs through Mile in My Shoes. I have completed 19 marathons and qualified for the Boston Marathon 12 times.
I am passionate about fighting human trafficking and serve on the board of the Stories Foundation. The foundation combats human trafficking through social impact business, awareness education, and community engagement.
Additionally, I am a board member of the Twin Cities Running Club (TCRC), which is more than just a club. It is a community. TCRC provides support to runners and helps them achieve their running goals.
