Long Run Labs Podcast

Long Run Labs explores the business, innovation, and creative engine behind the outdoor and endurance world. This show brings founders, operators, athletes, investors, and storytellers together to talk about the companies, ideas, and people shaping the future of the industry.

These episodes open up the conversations you rarely get to hear:

how brands are built
how athletes think like entrepreneurs
how creators grow community
how the outdoor world is changing
what it takes to run a mission-driven business
the BTS challenges no one talks about publicly.

If For The Long Run is about the heart of endurance, Long Run Labs is about the engine. It’s designed for founders, creators, marketers, operators, and anyone who wants a smarter look at how this world actually works.

Together, the two shows tell the full story: the people, the purpose, and the business of endurance.

Long Run Labs also has a separate newsletter via Substack, entirely focused on the business of the outdoor industry, which can be found here.

Jonathan thrives here. This podcast is so amazing. The conversations are so smart and also revealing. As an entrepreneur scaling my business in the outdoor endurance space this podcast provides such impactful insights that I feel like I’m taking a master class in the outdoor sports industry. I’ve become way more knowledgeable and prepared after two episodes than I would have after months of reading. Amazing guests, amazing interviewer, great vibe, can’t wait for more.

Like a knowledge dump you should have to pay for

Jon hit it out of the park again with this show. Understanding the “why” behind the products we as runner use. Love it!
