In this fun conversation from May 2024, Olivia and Amanda discuss practical tips for strength training and injury prevention from her book as well as ways to overcome "real runner syndrome" and why Amanda dislikes the use of the word "jog" within the running community among other topics.

Experiencing the uninterrupted beauty of nature should be easy, and in theory it is—for some. As writer Stephanie Grant explores in a new story, going camping can feel like an insurmountable barrier reserved for the wealthy and white. But she hopes that's changing, thanks to organizations like Outdoor Gear and Beer, which are building a more inclusive beer community for people of color and Black campers who simply wish to enjoy the majesty of the great outdoors. In her Olly Olly piece titled “Unplugged Under the Stars — How Black Beer Organizations are Diversifying Camping,” published on March 1, 2023, Stephanie discusses resources for Black campers both in and out of the beer world, outlining the many reasons why they may not feel comfortable camping or out in nature at all. Nick and Amanda Brooks of Outdoor Gear and Beer help break down some of common fears and hesitations for the uninitiated, acting as expert guides before and during the camping process. Stephanie learned first-hand how their guidance gives people a new perspective—it's one she gained herself on a recent trip, one that took her dreams of camping and made them a reality. In today's conversation, Stephanie reveals how her expectations for the trip compare to her experience, and why she continues to feel strongly pulled to nature. It's an instinctively human feeling, but one that can be out-of-reach for certain people due to time, money, or fear. Fear plays a big role in both the piece and our discussion: Stephanie talks about how it robbed her of years of potential outdoor enjoyment, how to conquer it through knowledge, and the difference between things like fear of bears and fear of people (because sometimes, it's the people who are the most unpredictable). Olly Olly is all about getting outside, finding freedom in the possibilities of the Earth. What possibilities does Stephanie see?
Listen in as Amanda Brooks and Dirk talk pre-hab, fueling as an aging runner, perimenopause and menopause and how she prescribes intensity even to those 60 and 70+ runners. Amanda Brooks is a running coach and author who has helped many runners achieve their goals. She is a perpetual blogger and author of several books, including "Run to the Finish: The Everyday Runner's Guide," and has contributed to several publications, including Runner's World and Women's Health. She focuses her coaching and leadership on those runners regardless of pace. She understands that most runners do not dedicate all their free time to training like elites and pros. And she works to guide her athletes to continue to run injury-free and for as long as possible.
Today Amanda Brooks, coach & author of Run to the Finish, is on the pod talking allll about the importance of honoring the different seasons of running and how to keep the love of running alive when you're not interested in racing or pursuing a PR!
“Burnout” is a big buzzword in today's healthcare industry. In this episode, Amanda Brooks, LCSW, CADC joins to discuss burnout, how she defines burnout, and why organizations and organizational leaders should care about burnout.

Amanda Brooks is the owner/founder/head coach of Run to the Finish - one of the OG running blogs in the running world. She and I sat down to discuss running as an aging athlete. Let's be honest, this episode applies to everyone. We're all aging all the time. Even if you don't yet qualify as a "masters" runner or "elderly," we would all do well to prepare a little bit for when our bodies don't quite behave how they used to. We talk about how to adapt your training as you age so you can still perform your best without hurting yourself in the process. Hope you enjoy the episode! Notes: How Amanda got into running Running as punishment What does "aging runner" mean? Are runners peaking later? Hormonal shifts Low HR training to run easy How quickly do you see progress on slow pace runs?

I wrote stories and took them into my teachers like not homework, just stories...I just knew I wanted to write.” (07:20) “A lot of people who started a blog and wanted it to be a business immediately had no business experience. Whereas, I had ten years of leading Fortune 500 companies through projects. So, I immediately was able to respond to businesses like I was a business, and I think that shifted a lot of things.” (11:04) “I think for a lot of people it's a process of ‘go for the goal,' and then have a season where you're just running and enjoying your fitness and then go for a goal. Too often we just go from goal to goal to goal to goal. And that's where I see a lot of the burnout and the frustration.” (18:15) “You don't have to run. There are ways to be healthy, and happy, and fit. But if you want to run, go to a race and look at the people crossing the finish line. They are every size, every age, every gender. If you want to run, this is one hundred percent doable.” (25:01) “Oftentimes, it's coming back to your ‘why.' Pace is not your why. It's not what makes you show up. It's not why you started running. And then, it really is thinking about what actually brings you joy on your runs?” (36:16) Resources MentionedWhitney's LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/whitney-heins-02ba3b5 (https://www.linkedin.com/in/whitney-heins-02ba3b5) The Mother Runners Club – https://www.themotherrunners.com/ (https://www.themotherrunners.com/) Amanda's LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/amandabrooksmclatchie/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/amandabrooksmclatchie/) Run To The Finish – https://www.runtothefinish.com/ (https://www.runtothefinish.com/) Run To The Finish Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/RunToTheFinish/ (https://www.facebook.com/RunToTheFinish/) Run To The Finish Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/runtothefinish/ (https://www.instagram.com/runtothefinish/) Run To The Finish Pinterest – https://www.pinterest.com/runtothefinish/ (https://www.pinterest.com/runtothefinish/) Run To The Finish Twitter – https://twitter.com/runtothefinish (https://twitter.com/runtothefinish) Run To The Finish YouTube Channel – https://www.youtube.com/runtothefinish (https://www.youtube.com/runtothefinish)

Amanda is a highly sought after coach and lifestyle entrepreneur.

Amanda Brooks, run coach, creator of Run to the Finish and author of the book Run to the Finish: The Everyday Runner's Guide to Avoiding Injury, Ignoring the Clock and Loving the Run shares why 10 years ago she made the life changing decision to shift from a journalism background and ecommerce to creating her Run to the Finish brand. She had already found a way to combine her love of research and running to find what worked best for her and to help others by developing her blog Run to the Finish (when blogging was the the thing to really get your brand out there). But while working full time and dedicating almost full time hours a week to Run to the Finish, Amanda found herself at a point where she needed to decide if this was where her career would take her. Amanda shares what that shift looked like for her. I was particularly excited to chat with Amanda because it was her out of the box "Couch to Marathon" plan that helped me return from a stress fracture in May and complete my first marathon this past November, and I do credit her 30 Day Core Challenge with keeping my ITB syndrome at bay for training. I just really really love how much Amanda loves running for the sake of running. She's turned it into a well-researched art that brings her joy and she shares that with her clients; there's not much better than that from your run coach.

Amanda Brooks is a boss and a true OG in the running community. She's also a tireless researcher of products and training methodologies, all focused on injury prevention and keeping her runners and followers healthy. Amanda and her team of 8 coaches have built a community platform to support middle-of-the-pack runners and help them find joy in running or walking at any pace. Amanda's coaching mission: I want us all to think beyond the clock. To love the run for what it gives us. To love our bodies for what they can achieve. To take the extra few moments to keep us running injury-free and happy. In fact, that's the major portion of the first 1/3 of my new book, Run To The Finish: The Everyday Runners Guide To Avoiding Injury, Ignoring The Clock, And Loving The Run (a great resource for ALL runners) We discuss: her youth, team sports, the impact of good and bad coaches and how that shaped her approach and the coaches she hires, building a community, finding joy at any pace, overcoming a major health crisis and how it led to a focus on lower-heartrate training, her focus on health and injury prevention, InsideTracker—awareness of what's happening on the inside, helping others with her platform, and community service. I've been a big fan of Amanda's impact in the running community, so it was a real treat to learn more of her inspiring story! I hope you all enjoy this convo as much as we did!

Amanda Brooks wants people to be content with being a “middle-of-the-pack” runner. She created her website - Run To The Finish - back in 2007 as a place to support those middle-of-the-pack runners and help them enjoy running regardless of the time on their watches. Amanda is a certified running coach, certified personal trainer, and has over 26,000 of running experience herself. Amanda feels running is about so much more than just pace and PRs. She also knows people don't have the time or energy to keep up on all the latest research on running so she does all of the heavy lifting on her website. She's written over 200 researched articles on running in the last ten years. In this episode, Amanda discusses imposter syndrome and runners, recovery runs, her transition from just a runner to a coach, and the importance of strength training. Amanda also discusses her work with women and training during menstrual cycles. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/werunthis/support

Similar to our "Throwback Thoughts on the First 10 Books" episode, we decided to go reflect on everything we learned in books 11 to 20. We know that all the things we have learned is making us into better runners.Here is a list of the books we talk about:Chasing Excellence, by Pat Melgares - https://soulsticepublishing.com/product/chasing-excellence-book/Run to the Finish, by Amanda Brooks - https://www.amazon.ca/Run-Finish-Everyday-Avoiding-Ignoring/dp/0738285994 Win at All Costs, by Matt Hart - https://www.amazon.ca/Win-All-Costs-Running-Deception/dp/0062917773Born to Run, by Christopher McDougall - https://www.amazon.ca/Born-Run-Hidden-Superathletes-Greatest/dp/0307279189Running with Sherman, by Christopher McDougall - https://www.amazon.ca/Running-Sherman-Inspired-Rag-tag-Craziest/dp/0525433252 The Comeback Quotient, by Matt Fitzgerald - https://www.amazon.ca/Comeback-Quotient-Get-Real-Building-Fitness/dp/1948007169Running Home, by Katie Arnold - https://www.amazon.ca/Running-Home-Memoir-Katie-Arnold/dp/0425284670 The Lost Art of Running, by Shane Benzie and Tim Major - https://www.amazon.ca/Lost-Art-Running-Rediscover-Forgotten/dp/1472968085Out of Thin Air, by Michael Crawley - https://www.amazon.ca/Out-Thin-Air-Running-Ethiopia/dp/1472975324 Epic Runs of the World, by publisher Lonely Planet - https://www.amazon.ca/Lonely-Planet-Epic-Runs-World/dp/1788681266 Any feedback or suggestions on this review or any of our other podcast episodes would be greatly welcomed.

If there was any one word that describes the past 12 months, it is disruption. But disruption is not always a bad thing. In fact, for many in the running community, it has been a chance to make lemonade from a giant bowl of lemons. S01E05 of The Run Matters Podcast begins with a discussion between lead product developer at Skechers Performance, Kurt Stockbridge and one of running’s up and coming stars, Edward Cheserek. “Ches” has been using the time during the pandemic to train for some middle-distance events and keep in peak shape for what he hopes will be an appearance in the delayed Tokyo Olympics. On the retail side, it’s hard to imagine a retailer that is disrupting more than Shoes and Brews in Longmont, CO, where you can pick up a pair of Skechers Running Shoes and grab a freshly brewed craft beer to celebrate. Then, our in-house running coach, Amanda Brooks helps us Run to The Finish talking about how disruption for runners can be a positive force.
Running coach and the runner behind Run to the Finish, Amanda Brooks chats about her experience with Low Heart Rate training, how slowing down can help you run faster (especially over half-marathon, marathon and ultra distances!) and the best way to get started. We discuss the pros and cons of LHR training, the best HR monitors and why now could be the perfect time to give it a go!

Author and Coach Amanda Brooks discusses her book, Run to the Finish, which speaks so much to Heather and Jen’s philosophy about what it means to be a runner, how to approach training (spoilers, it’s not ALL about the running), and why we all belong here.

Heather has been an athlete for most of her life. She took her love of swimming and entered the triathlon world, eventually crushing Ironman. She eventually married her love of running and all things Disney and tackled a number of runDisney runs. This is where she met Jen. Jen began running during her weight loss journey half a dozen years ago. She previously only ran from base to base as a varsity softball player and loathed running. But thanks to her friends and a supportive network, she ran her first 5K. Heather and Jen met as Jen was training for her first half marathon and eventually her first full marathon thanks to Heather’s encouragement. The two are now dear friends and share a coach/athlete relationship. This friendship and love for running comes through on their podcast.

In this episode Deb is feeling pretty sick. Later she chats with Mike Recine, Amanda Brooks, and Stavros Halkias about whether or not to circumcise the baby. This one gets pretty wild. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
We are calling Episode 4 of the Run Matters Podcast, “The Collaboration Episode” for two reasons. The first collaboration in this episode features Amanda Brooks and Co-host, Neil Schwartz as they talk about his plan to get out and start running. Neil is in the early “walk/run” stage but hopes to get to his goal in two to three months. We heard Neil say” This whole process scares the crap out of me” but he is starting to build new habits.The next collaboration takes listeners behind the scenes with Kurt Stockbridge, lead product developer for Skechers Performance, and superstar runner, Meb Keflezighi as they reveal the process it took to create a pair of shoes in less than eight weeks that Meb would wear for the NY Marathon. It’s a powerful example of how a product developer and elite athlete work together to create a special shoe and then how this effort translates to shoes that later become available to the general running public.We then sat down with Ken Sung, co-owner of Gazelle Sports in Central Michigan. Ken discussed how Gazelle used this time during the pandemic to take a step back and look closely at its business and then make the needed changes to get ready for the next three to five years. Ken then went on to talk about his entrepreneurial efforts that include both a farm to table full-service restaurant and a brand-new Gourmet Bagel Shop. Neil is still waiting for the dozen bagels Ken promised him.We closed the show with the Run to the Finish Segment as Amanda as Mark Sullivan debunk the common myths associated with running.
After listening to the 3 interviews that are included in Episode 03 of the Run Matters Podcast, you will understand why we call this the “Inspiration Episode”. From the first segment that features running coach, Amanda Brooks, to the last segment with Colin Peddie from Marathon Sports in New England, we focused on what inspires you and how we can all be better in 2021. Hang in for the end of the segment with Amanda as she agrees to take on a project in 2021 and inspire Neil to get out running. Sandwiched in between Amanda and Colin, running superstar and Skechers Ambassador, Meb Keflezighi inspires us all by relating his story on how he got from his village with no electricity and running water in Eritrea to the top of the running world with big marathon wins in New York, Boston, and a silver medal at the 2004 Olympics in Athens, Greece. Also, be sure to check out Marathon Sports social media for a chance to win a free pair of Skechers Running Shoes.
Amanda Brooks lives an enviable life. The former New York fashion executive settled happily in the English countryside and found a new avenue in Cutter Brooks (cutterbrooks.com), her small village shop that developed worldwide fans thanks to her knowing eye for chic country style, her relentless pursuit of the unusual, and her relationship with venerable artisanal firms.

In episode 2 of the Run Matters Podcast, we don’t waste any time getting into one of the most important topics that every runner faces on a daily basis. In our Run to the Finish segment with Amanda Brooks, we talk about motivation and how runners can handle getting their head in the right place before they lace up their shoes and hit the street or trail. Amanda has something she calls “the five-minute rule” that every runner encounters on those days when they just don’t feel like getting out of bed. In the “retail matters segment”, Justin Craig from RUNdetroit talks about how his store was dealing with trying to do business during the pandemic and how they took some dramatic measures to stay connected to their customers and expand their services. It is then time for the “Ches Lounge” segment with one of the bright young stars on the running scene, Edward Cheserek. “King Ches” as he is known has a great back story on how he got to America and then moved from playing soccer to being one of the names to watch in elite running. It’s then time to get all “shoe geeky” with Kurt Stockbridge, lead product developer for Skechers Performance. Neil gets a science lesson from Kurt and then Mark wants to put his shoes in his mouth. It’s totally worth hanging in till the end.

Connect and Rise with Amanda Brooks, author, running coach, and the person behind the popular blog Run to the Finish. We start off talking about the movement for change and equality, discussing the value of tough conversations that have become more normalized. Amanda then shares how running has been a big part of her journey through many moves. She dives in to how she learned to be her own advocate when a health issue arose and presented significant difficulty getting an answer to persistent symptoms. Amanda kept pushing, only to discover as a young woman that her body was making absolutely zero estrogen. She takes us through her journey with functional medicine and tells us how she got her health (and her energy back). Amanda reminds us that resting is important and it's actually where a lot of progress happens. She also suggests that we get back in touch with the joy of running and talks about her awesome new book Run to the Finish which is about "embracing your place in the middle of the pack with humor and learning to love the run you've got without comparing yourself to other runners." Don’t compare. Seek joy. And certainly: find the humor.

At what point did you consider yourself to be a runner? Odds are, you were a runner long before you felt comfortable saying it out loud. Maybe it wasn’t until after your first 5K, your tenth 5K, or even your first marathon. Perhaps you still don’t call yourself a runner, or when you do, you quickly follow it up with “but not a fast one.” This is silly. Why do so many of us feel the need to qualify for the Boston Marathon before we can call ourselves runners? We don’t see this as often in other hobbies or sports. Imagine saying, “Yeah I have a dog, but he can’t do tricks,” or “I like listening to music, but I haven’t been to a Taylor Swift concert yet, so I guess I don’t reallylike music.” You are a runner! It doesn’t matter how fast, how far, how often or how many races you’ve been in. There is power in claiming that title, and although I will continue to tell you that you are “more than just a runner,” you are one. When you embrace the fact that you are a runner, you start treating yourself as one. A confidence emerges and you join a community that is excited about what they do. Even more than that, you start to do things that help you become a lifelong runner, giving your body the respect and devotion it needs. To the middle-of-the-packers and the ones still nervous to claim the title of runner: This one’s for you. Run to the Finish Amanda Brooks is the genius behind both the website and the new book titled “Run to the Finish.” She started her website in 2005 as a way to talk about her new found love in running. Since then she has become as expert researcher, journalist, and author, helping runners do what she loves most, running. As a new runner, Amanda felt the need to talk about what she loved with others online because she didn’t know a lot of people who were runners. Maybe that’s because there were so many closet runners, but she quickly found a group of people like her. As she ran more and more, she also became more interested in the science behind it and soon she was researching everything about running. Amanda considers herself an actionable person. “Tell me what to do,” she says when referring to a running warmup. She isn’t interested in general advice, but a list of things she can actually do. That’s what her website and book are all about. Every new and experienced runner can find things there to implement immediately into their running. Treat Yourself Like a Runner The next step after calling yourself a runner, is to work out like one. No, this doesn’t mean you need to run 100 miles a week, or sprint around the track. It simply means you ought to give your body the rehab and prehab it needs. If you want to be a lifelong runner and avoid injury, you shouldn’t wait until you are a certain age or log a certain number of miles before you do these things. Many runners don’t want to hear it, but you can’t simply “just run” if you are in it for the long run. Hip and core exercises, mobility exercises, and strength training are important. But it can be simple to appreciate. Know that every foam roller session is adding to your longevity and satisfaction as a runner. Check out Amanda’s website to find what you can do today. Lastly, don’t be afraid to literally invest in yourself and your running. Buy a book on running, schedule an appointment with a sports’ therapist, or hire a running coach for a few sessions. The investment will be worth it. You will feel validated as a runner and you’ll be recovering from injury less often. Now get out there and show the world that you are a runner!

Amanda Brooks returns to the show to discuss her new book Run to the Finish: The Everyday Runner's Guide to Avoiding Injury, Ignoring the Clock, and Loving the Run. Amanda lays out the path to finding greater fulfillment in running for those who consider themselves "middle of the pack runners" -- they're not trying to win Boston, they just want to get strong and stay injury-free so they can continue to enjoy running. Run to the Finish is not your typical running book. While it is filled with useful strategic training advice throughout, at its core, it is about embracing your place in the middle of the pack with humor and learning to love the run you've got without comparing yourself to other runners. Mixing practical advice like understanding the discomfort vs. pain, the mental side of running, and movements to treat the most common injuries with more playful elements such as "Favorite hilarious marathon signs" and "Weird Thoughts We all Have at the Start Line."

Had enough of the status quo? This week’s wonders are shaking it up: the greatest modern artist who ever called Portland home, a director who set the bar higher, two friends turning fan-favorite songs upside down, and ladies calling time’s up on tech.Painfully Honest Job Descriptions for Women in Tech — 1:15Backfence PDX is about to welcome some storytellers from the tech world to the MainStage for an evening of home truths on May 12. #MeToo isn’t just limited to Silicon Valley. We heard about this in 2016 when we welcomed one of the Backfence storytellers, Megan Bigelow, to our studio. Along with friends Kasey Jones and Amanda Brooks, they helped us rewrite job descriptions for women in the industry. All three say they’re in good places with their current employers, but some of their past experiences at other firms, from start-ups to big players, were truly hair-raising.Rothko in Portland — 10:08This week, Oregon Art Beat premiers a new documentary about a painter who was, arguably, the greatest modern artist ever to call Oregon home. Mark Rothko flew in the face of convention and ultimately helped create a new American vanguard, but his early years as an immigrant kid in Portland were a hard education. We talk with producer Eric Slade about Rothko’s Portland roots, and the experiences that influenced his visual vocabulary.Sera Cahoone Flora String Sessions — 16:43There’s a simple honesty to the music of Seattle singer-songwriter Sera Cahoone. Her songs tell intimate stories about love and loss, where acoustic guitar and Cahoone’s voice are complimented by the steady percussion that is a holdover from her days as the drummer for Seattle’s Band of Horses and the occasional cello, piano or country-tinged slide guitar. It’s hard to imagine that her twist on Americana needs any embellishment, but while she was touring with the multi-instrumentalist Alex Guy, they had an idea: Guy would arrange full strings for a number of Cahoone’s songs for a big upcoming concert. What started as a one-off show has grown into the new album “The Flora String Sessions.”Chris Coleman Says Goodbye to Portland Center Stage — 26:48After 19 seasons, the artistic director of Portland Center Stage is leaving for a new job in Denver. Chris Coleman brought the city’s largest company to new heights, carving out programming space for original works as well as new interpretations of classics, while midwifing the renovation of the Armory into a new multi-stage venue. He also had a busy side hustle advocating with state and local governments for arts funding. Coleman stopped in to talk to Think Out Loud’s Dave Miller about his time in Portland.

Does the world really need another running app? It does if the app does something that no other apps on the market can do. Today on the show, I'm talking with mom, runner, and the person behind FASTZach, a new running app that is something that I've wanted several times in the past. We will talk more about the app, so I'll let Amanda share the details, but safe to say this app could be a game changer!

We have binders full of stuff for you today. As it turns out, many are full of women.Qcut And The Quest For Jeans That Fit -A new Oregon start-up is hoping to provide relief from long, torturous hours of finding jeans that fit. Owner Crystal Beasley, a former Mozilla software developer, has developed an algorithm that pairs users with the right blue jeans out of a selection of some 300 different fits. We learn about some of the potential behind the new technology.PDX Women In Tech -A recent report from SmartAsset.com lists the top towns for women in tech. Of 58 American cities, Portland placed dead last. Megan Bigelow of Jama Software, Kaset Tonsfeldt of Young Lions Collective, Amanda Brooks of 24 Seven Inc. help us imagine what a truthful tech job posting would sound like. Hint: it's not pretty (despite it paying to be pretty).The Environmental Photojournalism Of Gary Braasch -Environmentalist Gary Braasch died this week while documenting coral bleaching on Australia's Great Barrier Reef. OPB News' Kate Davidson spoke with Allison Jones, a senior fellow with the International League of Conservation Photographers who says Braasch has been a huge influence on her work, about Braasch's life and legacy.What Are You Looking At: Stupid F**king Bird -Portland theaters have staged a number of Eugene-born playwright Aaron Posner's more traditional adaptations. Now Portland Center Stage is producing the first of what he calls his irreverent adaptations: "Stupid F**king Bird." A play on Chekhov’s "The Seagull," it was developed at Washington, DC’s Woolly Mammoth Theatre to great acclaim and featured a number of PCS regulars, who reprise their roles here. Producer Aaron Scott invited "Portland Monthly" arts editor Fiona McCann to a showing as part of our "What Are You Looking At?" series.The Soul-Hop of Dirty Revival -Dirty Revival brought their seven piece down to the OPB studios to play some funky, energetic tracks off their 2015 self-titled album. The group sat down with host April Baer to talk touring, song reworks, and the social consciousness that permeates their music. You can watch videos of their performance here.Portland Candidates: Bim Ditson & Jim Lee -We continue our coverage of Portland candidates and the arts with two unique perspectives. Mayoral candidate Bim Ditson, a local music promoter and drummer for indie rock band And And And, talks with us about how to make a living with art. Our other guest is Jim Lee, who is running for city council Position 4, a seat currently held by Steve Novick. Lee prioritizes revitalizing Portland's venues and speaks with us about why he feels it's such an important move.Wendy Red Star -Portland artist Wendy Red Star is blowing up. In the last 18 months, she has had her work featured across the country, including at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, and at the Portland Art Museum twice. Oregon Art Beat's Katrina Sarson followed Red Star over that time and gives us the download on what makes the multidisciplinary artist so unique. Watch the Oregon Art Beat piece on Red Star here.Cristina Henriquez And "The Book of Unknown Americans" -Each year the Multnomah County Library chooses one novel to feature as part of their Everybody Reads series with the idea that the books might spur conversation throughout the community. This year's pick is The Book of Unknown Americans by author Cristina Henriquez. We share an excerpt of Think Our Loud's Dave Miller speaking with Henriquez in front of an audience at Literary Arts last week. You can hear the full interview here.
What would job descriptions sound look like if they really reflected what goes down for women in tech workplaces? April chats it up with Megan Bigelow, Kasey Tonsfelt, and Amanda Brooks of PDX Women in Tech.
