What is Borderlands Actually Building?

from Borderlands Trail and Ultra Running

For the first time in months, I'm stepping away from interviews and monologues for a Borderlands Trail Running founder update. By the time this episode goes live, my family and I will be somewhere over the Atlantic, leaving Paris after two years and moving back to Salt Lake City. I came to France thinking I was building one thing and left building another. I'm leaving with a much bigger vision for what Borderlands can become. In this monologue, I share what changed during our time in Paris, the mission that continues to guide Borderlands, where I want the company to be over the next month, year, and decade, and how everything we're building fits together. In this episode Why Paris changed the way I think about media, culture, and Borderlands The mission behind Borderlands: The Heart of Trail Running One-month, one-year, and ten-year visions for the company Why Borderlands is expanding beyond podcasts The role of the website, newsletter, documentaries, YouTube, live events, Arcade, and Live on Course The contributors helping shape Borderlands, including Bryce Carlson, Inky Steve, Stan Van Kimmel, Christian Brecheis, and others A look at where Borderlands is headed next Please give us a follow, rate the podcast, and give a review.
