As the manager of a local running specialty store in Hampton Roads, John Lomogda brings a very interesting perspective to the nature of running community. In this episode we discuss why these stores are places where people both experienced and inexperienced in the running world come to gather and get the tools for running. From the pair of shoes that make the sport accessible to the more advanced features that give space for people to go deeper, John knows that Running Etc. offers it all.
However, it is more than the bottom line for John. He talks about wanting to make sure he is doing right by those who come in, making sure they are set up for success and joy. It is also more than selling for John and his coworkers. Hear all the additional community connections that are made.
