In this month's interview episode Tony and Eli talk with Run Calgary Executive Director (and the pod's #1 fan from the Great White North!) Kirsten Fleming. We talk about her globetrotting youth, her "past life" in broadcast media, and how her active lifestyle blurs into her job. Along the way we learn how Kirsten landed her dream job with some bravado and the help of a "cheeky" afternoon drink, why Eli makes a better Race Director than a Director of Marketing, and that Kirsten just can't bring herself to say anything bad about Tony... even when Eli threatens to kick her off the interview unless she does.
The guys invite Kirsten to brag a bit about the City of Calgary and Run Calgary's events, and then ask for a peek behind the curtain at how this past May's cancellation has affected the Run Calgary organization. After taking that dark turn, Kirsten brings it back up by talking about what the best-case scenario looks like for Run Calgary in 2021 (Mulligan Marathon, anyone?), and also shares some of her other favorite Alberta-based and women-led races. She also has some suggestions for future podcast guests for the guys.
Is this episode a delight? As Kirsten would say, "Absolutely!"
