The Power of Community and Connection

In this powerful Fireside Chat episode from Run Tri Bike, host Jason Bahamundi sits down with Jordan Daniel Whetstone of Rising Hearts, Celia Camargo of GU Energy Labs, and Kristyn Carriere of Seven Summit Snacks to explore how allyship, storytelling, and authentic partnerships are reshaping endurance sports.What begins as a conversation about a collaborative Everyday Athlete Coffee Gift Set—where 20% of each sale supports Rising Hearts—quickly evolves into a meaningful dialogue about Indigenous allyship in sport, community building, and social responsibility. Together, they discuss how brands and athletes can move beyond performative gestures to create lasting change rooted in curiosity, compassion, and consistency.Listeners will gain insight into what it means to be an accomplice, not just an ally; how Indigenous storytelling inspires empathy and awareness; and why progress, even in small steps, matters. Whether you’re an athlete, coach, or advocate, this episode challenges you to show up, listen deeply, and run forward—together.🎧 Tune in to The Power of Community and Connection and join the movement for inclusion, awareness, and representation in endurance sports.Keep ConnectedRun Tri Bike on InstagramRun Tri Bike on ThreadsRun Tri Bike WebsiteCoffee Gift BoxRising Hearts WebsiteGU Energy Labs Website7 Summits Snacks Website
