Send us a textHealth and wellness have become foundational to the modern lifestyle, with consumers redefining what fitness looks like shifting from traditional gym routines to more holistic and mobile-friendly approaches. Walking, hiking, cycling, and fitness-tracking apps are now integral parts of personal health journeys. This evolution has created new opportunities for customer-centric innovation, and few brands are leaning into this shift as effectively as Fleet Feet. Founded in 1976 by two women in Sacramento, California, Fleet Feet has grown from a single boutique running store into the country's largest franchisor of locally owned and operated specialty running retailers. Today, it operates more than 280 stores across 40 states, offering expert outfitting, training programs, and a strong sense of community. At the heart of Fleet Feet's loyalty strategy is its recently relaunched Fleet Feet Milestones program—an initiative that reflects both its legacy and its forward-thinking ethos. Joining us for this edition of Leaders in Customer Loyalty: Brand Stories is Abbey Gurley, Senior Manager of Customer Loyalty at Fleet Feet, who shares how the brand is building emotional loyalty, supporting franchisees, and using customer data with care.

Josh sits down for a conversation with Chris Rose. Chris shares his background in exercise, from trying many sports before landing on skateboarding and running. He shares how he wasn't a huge fan of running to start, but how his enjoyment has grown as his consistency did as well. Chris highlights and shares his appreciation for his family and girlfriend, sharing how integral their support has been in his life and racing. Chris speaks on his experience doing his first ultramarathon, the 54k at Blazin Summer Sufferfest, and shares how the mentality of, “you get to do this”, helped him podium. Josh and Chris expand on the fact that exercise is much more enjoyable within a community and highlight the benefit of putting yourself out there and making friends. To close, Chris expands on the fact that, “it's all relative”, and tells what that statement means to him while powering towards your goals and learning from the folks around you.

Josh sits down for a conversation with Mike Higgins. Mike shares his background in athletics and how he has built running into his life for the past 25 years. He shares how shifting focus and joining the track team led him to run collegiately at Penn State and then continue racing through adulthood. Mike outlines how he chose to train for the Antarctic Ice Marathon from signing up in January 2023 to competing in and winning the race in December of 2023. As the defending champion of the Antarctic Ice Marathon, Mike shares how he trained for such an endeavor as running 26 miles on the Antarctic ice for 26 miles. He shares how signing up for something monumental gave him something tough to train through to remain motivated and disciplined amidst difficult life changes. Mike highlights the logistics of running in Antarctica including landing on a strip of ice, the packable infrastructure during the 24-hour-day, and the feeling of seeing the plane leave while you stay on the ice. Mike shares what monumental race he's looking to conquer next, and showcases how any given race day can provide renewed motivation on the journey. To close, Mike reiterates the benefit of the community through exercise and how we become accountable for and advocate for one another.

Today's interview is with Brian Reynolds, one of the world's fastest double amputee runners. When Brian was four years-old he contracted a rare form of bacterial meningitis, which led to him having both of his legs amputated below the knee. Despite this, Brian was fairly active as a child-- and did his best to participate in most common childhood sports like baseball, basketball and even hockey. (He grew up in Boston after all.) When Brian was in college, he got into power lifting... which led to him to join the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Team in Training to hike across the Grand Canyon... and then finally to running. Brian is now one of the fastest double amputee runners in the world, having set records in distances from the 5K to the marathon. Brian happens to live about a mile from me, so we see each other on our morning runs quite often. I'd love to run with him more, but I don't think I can keep up! Last month, the Fleet Feet in our town hosted a trail running film festival featuring several short documentaries about trail running and ultramarathons. One of the films was about Brian's attempt, last year, to complete the Leadville 100, one of the toughest ultramarathons in the world. In a few weeks, Brian will be heading back to Leadville for another attempt. And as we publish this episode, Brian is currently climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. Brian is also sponsored by our partners at Brooks Running, so we definitely want to give a big thanks to them as well. For over a century, Brooks has been propelled by a never-ending curiosity with how humans move. It drives their every decision and every innovation. Because they believe movement is the key to feeling more alive. And we're all moving towards something. It could be the top of a mountain, a first-ever 5K, or peace of mind after a stressful day. It could be a cure for Parkinson's, a cleaner planet, fair play. So… let's run there. With gear and experiences specifically designed to take you to that place. Whether it's a headspace, a feeling, or a finish line. Let's run there. Head to BrooksRunning.com to learn more.
