Joyce Shulman is the Co-founder, CEO, and Pack Leader of 99 Walks, an organization aiming to get a million women walking with a powerful app. An idea junkie, self-branded “recovering lawyer,” and former CEO of the digital media company, Macaroni Kid, Joyce has shifted her focus to being an entrepreneur committed to building authentic communities. She also hosts the Weekly Walk podcast, where she and her co-founder and husband Eric Cohen, interview thought leaders and explore a wide range of topics to encourage the 99 Walks community to get up, get moving, and get happy.

Joyce joins me today to discuss why walking is a game changer for the mind, body, and emotions, and to highlight how walking with others can help us connect. She describes how walking helps her process difficulties and fuels her creativity. She also explains why the impact of fitness and physical movement is something integral to our personal lives and shares the four simple, effective ways she takes a walk.

“We are meant to live in a community with meaningful human connection; walking regularly with people connects us in a very different way.” - Joyce Shulman
