Run This World w/ Nicole DeBoom

In this episode, I reconnect with Nicole DeBoom, a former professional triathlete, Ironman Triathlon champion, founder of Skirt Sports and the non-profit Running Start, and host of the fabulous Run This World Podcast. Nicole is truly a force of nature, and she is clearly passionate about empowering people, especially women live the best lives possible.As a former accomplished professional athlete in the sport of triathlon, she knows what it takes to work hard to achieve one's goals, she took that drive and applied it to an entrepreneurial vision, athletic apparel that actually inspires and empowers women, and thus Skirt Sports was born. She also launched a non-profit Running Start to help coach women through significant life barriers to healthier more active lives.And three years ago she launched her wonderful Podcast Run This World - And here's the link to Her Podcast Patreon PageNot surprisingly Nicole is an inspiring public speakerAdditional and Helpful Links:Active Towns video profile of NicoleKara BurnsDress for Success Denver programKerry Gilmartin, Bamboobies Katherine Switzer - 1967 Boston MarathonMolly Barker - Girls on the RunHolly Bennett Active Towns Podcast episodeJill Angie, Not Your Average RunnerMirna Valerio Williams sisters circa 2003/2004Colleen Cannon, Women’s QuestHeather Fuhr Tim DeBoom Ironman Hall of FameLongevity: Blue Zones, Dan BuettnerFour Easy Steps to Support My Efforts:1.
