Episode 22

Vanessa Peralta-Mitchell

Welcome to Run Build Grow hosted by Andrew Ware. Thank you for joining as we explore the communal spirit of running.

This episode features the owner and founder of VCPM, Inc. and Game Changers, Vanessa Peralta-Mitchell. Vanessa is a runner, coach, and visionary leader for the global running community through her group and organization Game Changers. Vanessa’s journey is one of coming to running, to fill a gap in her life and to honor many of the amazing trailblazing women that came before her. Little did she know she would be a trailblazer in her own respect. The more she learned and grew as a runner the more she saw a space that needed more diversity. 

Take a listen to this episode to hear Vanessa’s journey, and what it has meant to be a trailblazer to help the running community be a place where everyone can see themselves from the top down.


Learn more about Vanessa, Game Changers, and all the great work she is helping to do.
