A group of deer or sheep is a herd. A collection of ferrets, a business. (Seriously.) But what’s the best term for a community of runners? If you’re Tim and Jessica Murphy, you call them the BibRave Pros. And in four short years, you gather more than 100 of them, working to connect them to each other, to races, and to related brands so the whole sport benefits. For this week’s episode of #WeGotGoals, I caught up with the power couple and BibRave co-foundres before last month’s Boston Marathon. I’ve known them since BibRave’s early days here in Chicago (they now live in Portland), and wanted to learn more about how they’ve built such an engaged, inspiring collective of socially savvy athletes. “I love talking about community and what the word actually means, because I feel like it gets used and sort of abused a lot,” Tim said. Not any group of app or website users, customers, or past participants qualifies. “It’s not a community until there becomes this sort of interconnected fabric where they’re all concerned with one another’s wellbeing, and they’re cheering for each other, and they’re sad with each other. There is a genuine connection between them.” Runners naturally tend to flock together, but Jessica and Tim don’t take the bonds between their BibRave Pros for granted. First, they focus on choosing the right people—not necessarily those with the biggest following, but athletes who are positive, empathetic, diverse, and have struggles and triumphs that everyday runners can relate to. “We want to embody the fun and communal aspect of running,” Jessica said. From there, the BibRave team—five staffers total—works hard to keep these ambassadors engaged. Every Tuesday at 8 p.m. Central time, they host a popular Twitter chat (follow it at #BibChat) about a different running-related topic. They also produce a weekly podcast. And, they work to create opportunities for affiliated runners to interact in real life, at races and other events (starting with signature bright-orange singlets that make them relatively easy to spot). The evolution of the BibRave community transformed the entire direction of the company. When they launched BibRave about four years ago, the Murphys envisioned it as a Yelp or TripAdvisor for races, featuring user-generated content to help runners share and learn from each other’s experiences. Eventually, they noticed how engaged and invested running influencers became in the BibRave brand. Around 2015, Jessica said, they had a light-bulb moment that shifted their business model. “When we were out talking to other partners and other people in the industry, one thing that struck us was people want experts in social media and in community and we have that, but we’re kind of only using it to serve BibRave,” she said. “What if we started to use it to serve other people in the industry?” BibRave pivoted and now works with brand and races to get their products and events into the hands and race calendars of influential runners across the country. Those runners, the BibRave Pros, have the opportunity to try new things. And, the running world as a whole benefits from learning about the latest and greatest from peers they can identify with—a win-win-win that involves transparency, hard work, and lots of moments of celebration along the way. “To become a part of those people’s running lives has just been amazing,” Tim said. “To watch people hitting accomplishments they didn’t think they could hit and bringing everybody along for the journey—that’s very, very cool. It wasn’t something that we could have known was a goal, but I think it’s something we’ve been really proud of so far.” Jessica and Tim had another goal that wasn’t explicit but that they’re proud to have crushed: creating a company that could sustain both of them. While Tim went full-time at BibRave about two years ago, Jessica didn’t do so until early this year, after stints at LinkedIn, Nike, and Runner’s World. That period of time created some stress—Jessica often traveled for work, which limited the time they could spend together both personally and working on BibRave. But ultimately, the lessons she learned in those roles have brought incredible value to BibRave. And now that they do spend what Tim called a “ridiculous” amount of time together, they’ve found they actually feel less guilt and conflict. “We have our moments where we’re in work; we can then more strictly define moments where we’re not,” Jessica said. “I feel like we have a better balance. And we do work really well together because we complement each other with different skills and talents. As we do that more, I feel like we’re hitting a good stride.” We’ve interviewed co-founders before (including Julia Carmona and Lauren Katzberg of Stylisted), but never a pair that were life partners in addition to business partners. (That’s despite the fact that aSweatLife’s very own founder & CEO Jeana Anderson Cohen is married to her co-founder, Justin Cohen.) Tim and Jessica say learning to talk calmly and openly about work has, in turn, improved their marriage. “You have your communication style sort of hard stop, right? That’s just how you most effectively communicate,” Tim said. He now knows the best way to ask Jessica a question—to give her a heads-up and set some context—and employs it whether he wants to inquire about a business deal or where they should go for dinner. Listen to this week’s episode to learn more about the signposting communication technique they use at work and in life, what it takes to become a BibRave Pro, and the Murphy’s big goals for the future, including transforming the road-racing experience for the better.

I'm Jeana Anderson Cohen; with me, I have Maggie Umberger and Cindy Kuzma. CK: Good morning, Jeana. MU: Good morning, Jeana. JAC: Good morning. CK: Jeana, registration I know has been open for a little while now for something super exciting here at aSweatLife. Do you to want to talk about that a little bit? JAC:I’d love to. So every year, twice a year aSweatLife hosts a week that's like restaurant week for fitness across Chicago. We create a schedule. We challenge people to try new things and to meet new people and you can find that schedule on aSweatLife.com, but every morning we will be encouraging people to set and achieve big goals just like we do on this podcast and every evening we'll be exploring new neighborhoods through the culture of sweat. We will finish the whole week with a fitness festival and we can't wait to see you there. CK:And what are the dates for this week of awesomeness? JAC: June 4th through the 9th. We can't wait. CK: So if you're listening in real time, sign up now and if you're listening to this later on, I know there's going to be another amazing SweatWorking week soon. JAC:Of course, but Cindy, this week you did the interview with two goal-getters. CK:Yes. I talked to Tim and Jessica Murphy who are a couple and they are also the co-founders of BibRave, which is a pretty cool website and community and company focused on runners that started right here in Chicago. JAC:And speaking of couples, I know that Tim and Jessica are married. I too am married to a co-founder of my company. He was my husband before he was a co-founder. Did they have any advice or guidance for couples who work together in that way? CK:It's interesting. We did get into this maybe even a little bit more than they thought. After this interview. They were kind of like, oh, we didn't realize this was going to turn into like a talk about our marriage, but it kind of did and and it was great. Two big things. One was they started the company together, but Tim went full-time there before Jessica did and he said that that was actually really motivating to him, that he wanted to work really hard to make it worthy of her being there full-time, um, because he thought that she was just so good and so talented at what she did, that he wanted to make it a proposition that she was really excited about bringing her considerable skills to that community full time. The other thing that they said was that working together now full time has actually improved their marriage, that they have a specific way of talking to each other about business problems where he kind of sets the tone and gives her some context, lets her know what's coming next and what's required of her to answer a specific question that he's like, I don't need that, but she does. And communicating that way in business has made me realize, oh, the communication that we have in our marriage is so much better when I use that same technique in our marriage too and, and everything just becomes simpler. So it was really interesting to hear them talk about that a bit. MU: Bibrave has an incredible community across the country, not only online but in real life that I had no idea really how big it was until hearing them talk about it and then looking up a little bit more since I'm not a runner myself, but I see how much importance they place on community and then their definition of it was also very interesting. Can you talk a little bit about how they define community and what their standards are for it? CK: Yeah, so when they started BibRave, it was initially just a website for race reviews and now it really has grown into this community. And what they realized along the way was that the idea of community, it isn't enough just to be like, oh, people use the site, they show up, they're the community. They have to be really intentional about building that community online and as you say, offline. So they're always doing things to increase engagement. Like they have this great twitter chat that encourages people to talk to each other and they've really worked hard on giving runners more opportunity to meet up in real life. They've tried to organize meetups at races, they've tried to connect people in regions so that these BibRave pros who see each other all the time online can then solidify that relationship in real life and they've really seen the power of that community, help people achieve their running goals and life goals, and that's something I know you all see at aSweatLife too with your ambassadors, how you bring people together. CK:It's not enough to just sort of text or tweet at people. It's really about coming together and being intentional about talking about your goals and how you plan to achieve them. JAC: It's been so exciting to watch the community that BibRave has grown and I can't wait for this interview. Here is Cindy, with Jessica and Tim. CK:This is Cindy Kuzma and I am here with Jessica and Tim Murphy, the co-founders of BibRave. Tim and Jessica, thank you so much for joining me today on the #WeGotGoals podcast. JM: Thanks for having us. We're super excited to chat with you. TM: It is a pleasure to be on. CK: So I'm really looking forward to talking with you both because I have known you for awhile and I've seen BibRave grow so much overtime and we're here in Boston for the marathon, which makes things even more exciting. There's always such a fun energy around running and around this race and I know it's a place that we kind of get to reconnect every year. So it's so cool. So I wondered if you could start by kind of introducing us to BibRave a little bit, telling us what it is and  the role that each of you play in it. JM:Alright, I'll start. So BibRave started as like a Yelp or Tripadvisor for race reviews. We wanted a place where people could come together and share with other runners their experiences and since then it's grown into this huge community of runners who not only share race reviews, but now we work with different brands. And other races so that we have a community of influencers that can review races and products, share their experiences with others and just bring people together of all experiences and different types of shapes and bodies and sizes and goals and have objectives. TM:Yes, so when we first got started, we were kind of looking at ways that we could establish own social media presence. TM:So we started a twitter chat which became pretty popular pretty quickly. It was centered around the Hashtag #bibchat. And noticed that a group of people coming back week after week, month after month, were running bloggers and so we thought why not bring them all together to use their collective audiences and readers and followers help races and brands to reach more runners? And so that's how we started our community of influencers known as the BibRave Pros. CK: And I definitely want to hear more about the BibRave pros and kind of what it takes to be one. But first I want to talk about the beginning a little bit. I know that BibRave started because of a sub optimal personal experience that you had. Right? I wondering if you could talk to our listeners a little bit about that. JM:Yes, and I feel comfortable talking about this because the race that I had a suboptimal experience is no longer around. It was formerly known as the Suntrust National Marathon. It was, has since then been bought by Rock ’n Roll and obviously they put their Rock ’n Roll footprint on it, so I think a lot of things a bit buttoned up, but it was only my second marathon ever and I trained through the Chicago winters, which was horrible. I paid many and spent time to travel there and I just felt like, ah, if I could have had the experience that I had in Chicago, it would have made this, that much more worth it and so we really wanted to start it so that people could learn from other people's experiences and I was very big into user generated content, wanting to hear from my peers what their experiences were. TM:Yeah. We, if I remember correctly, Jessica had done a good amount of research, but she was only finding like races’ Facebook pages, which are not necessarily like the most authentic reviews because we don't know if any of those were changed by the race or anything like that. Like it's just not something that is owned by the users. And the other option was like forums, which is just a terrible user experience. So I do remember both of us thinking, how is there not a more definitive place to find out what runners think of a race beforehand? And that's kind of the initial phase for the the idea for BibRave. CK: And I know it's kind of grown and changed and you've accomplished so much since then. So what we talk about on the #WeGotGoals podcast, we ask two big questions and the first one is what is a big goal that you've achieved? Why was it important to you and how did you get there? So I figured in the context of BibRave you've accomplished a lot, but is there kind of one, one thing either collectively or individually within the company that you would highlight as something you're particularly proud of? TM: So just sort of like as it relates to Jessica and I have, this is now both of our full time jobs and so that has been really gratifying for both of us because it started as an idea and we both put a lot of hard work into it and just had a lot of challenging situations from that come with starting any kind of business and so just getting it off the ground at all and then having it become like an actual thing so to speak and then something that we can both work on full time and you know, there's, there's five of us now on the team. TM:So that personally has just been really gratifying. And was, it was a goal whether or not we stated it explicitly or not. I think that we both ultimately wanted it to be our thing. And right now it is. CK: Yeah. I think I remember talking to you closer to the beginning, I believe you said that was a goal. Maybe you were like, I think it was a goal, so it is really cool to watch that and to see you and not even just the two of you. Like you said you have five and then you have this whole other community of people supporting you. So it's been incredible. TM: And one thing I would add, like I think if we, I, I kind of wish we had been more honest with ourselves about it being a goal. I think we probably didn't have enough confidence or we didn’t, we didn't really talk about it and we're pretty goal-driven people, we’re very like planning-focused and I just don't know that we were ever super honest about that being a goal and I don't know if it was because we didn't know if it was realistic or we didn't want to face the reality of it not coming to pass. So we didn't talk about it too much, but I still think it was ultimately something that we wanted to do and it's just, I wish we had been a little bit more explicit about it. JM:One thing I will say is I tend to be more risk averse and I feel like Tim is much more willing to take on new risks. So it's no surprise four years into it, Tim went fulltime on BibRave two years ago and I'm just now coming full time on BibRave as of three or four months ago. I think if we were jumping both feet in the deep end right away, we would have both gone full time, but I think we eased into it. The benefit in hindsight is that our business has evolved so much since we first started. What we're doing now is not at all what we envisioned we would be doing when we launched BibRave and to me, one thing that I'm the most proud of is that I think we've evolved our business to mold to needs that we see in the running industry. As we go to conferences and we go to events and we hear the needs of brands and race directors and that's what I'm super proud of is that we haven't said this is our plan and we're sticking to it and we're so rigid in how we've defined our business. We've been able to evolve and launch new projects as a result of needs that we've seen. CK:Yeah. I was interested in kind of how you go about aligning—It seems like you found a sweet spot aligning the goals of your BibRave pros and the brands that you work with and the races that you work with, but it's probably like a little bit of a balancing act to figure out where everyone's goals do align, so how do you kind of navigate that? How do you work with, with everyone to make sure that you keep everyone's goals aligned, if that makes sense? TM: Yeah. I think that it's critical for everything to be very win win, win for our partners, for the BibRave pros and for the brand and I've been thinking about this more and more recently. We're trying to pull together like a mission statement of sorts and I will not try to speak extemporaneously about how that's been going so far, but really like one of the things just sort of like to touch on the BibRave pro aspect and to also go back to goals for the company. TM:It's been immensely satisfying to see this community of not just the BibRave Pros, which are like the community of running bloggers that we have sort of in our in our family, but also the BibRave community in general. To just become a part of those people's running lives has just been amazing and to watch accomplishments, people to be hitting accomplishments that they didn't think they could hit and bringing everybody along for the journey. That's very, very cool and it, it wasn't something that we could have known was a goal, but I think it's something that we've been really proud of so far. As far as like how to keep the balance in act there. It's really just trying to be honest about everybody's priorities and not just like taking things for granted. So never trying to take the brand partners or race partners for granted, never taking the BibRave Pros for granted and really just trying to focus on everything being win, win, win. JM:When we started with the BibRave Pros, at first it was a community just to serve BibRave and I think when we were out talking to other partners and other people in the industry, one thing that struck us was people want experts in social media and in community and we have that, but we're kind of only using it to serve BibRave. But what if we started to use it to serve other people in the industry and that was like the light bulb moment for us probably like around 2015 and when we started to again then leverage our community to help kind of other brands and companies. So I again, I, I pat ourselves on the back in hindsight that we were able to do that. I don't think we knew at that time it would grow into the business that is now. So super excited that it has. JM:And then things like last year we launched the BibRave 100, which again was just seeing a need that there was no place that had a definitive list year over year, the way you think of like the U.S. News and World Report top colleges that was the Bible when we were kids about where you would find like the best colleges to go to and we really want this to become that and we feel like we have the right community to do it. We have the right kind of like social savvy to get the word out and to get people to participate. And again that wasn't part of our original plan, but has become now a pillar of what we do. CK: And the BibRave 100. That's just like a list of awesome races, right? JM: Yeah, it is top 20 marathons, top 20 half marathons, top 15 10Ks, top 15 5ks. And then we have three top 10 lists of categories that the runners get to vote on. So last year it was the best medal, the best scenery, and then best race management. CK:Tell me about these BibRave Pros. How many you have now and what it kind of takes to be one of these days. TM: So there are 100-plus BibRave pros, maybe like 110, 115. But to become a BibRave pro, we don't have like a super specific or rigid or singular requirement. Like when we first got started we thought okay, we need people who have, I don't know, 20,000 followers on twitter and that's a made up number, but it was then too. We were like, we just need size. We didn't know any better and we didn't see the most like genuine content coming out of those people. And that's not to say that it can't exist, but that wasn't our experience. So we started actually like leaning into more of this sort of micro influencer space. People who have had a few thousand followers on twitter, maybe the same on Instagram. TM:Some are much bigger than that, but you know, people who are relatable running personalities, people who struggle with things like weight gain or injury or plateauing or just, you know, burnout. Things that all runners are kind of like dealing with, the BibRave pros are examples of those things and they can help people overcome those difficulties. They can help them feel more empowered to hit their goals. Like they're just a much more relatable and inspiring group of people. So definitely not like a singular cookie cutter. You must fit into this and you must check this box. We have, you know, BibRave Pros apply and we take a look at their entire social profile. Some of them are more influential in real life, they lead running groups, things like that. So we definitely try to look at the entirety of the person. JM:Another big thing for us I think is kind of attitude and personality. Like we want to embody the fun and the communal aspect of running and also being in the running and racing space, we know that there are realities of business that happen, especially for a ton of our race partners. There are things that can happen on a race day that are just unavoidable. No matter how closely you can plan or how detailed you can plan, things are going to happen with any live event. And so we want people who kind of like have empathy that things can happen, who want to know what has happened and are not, I'm just being necessarily negative when critiquing, if it's a race or a product. So we try to imbue kind of like what constructive criticism I guess or like positive thinking and that empathy that comes from knowing what's going on behind the scenes because they're more educated, they kind of know everything that goes on behind the scenes. TM:That doesn't require like a Pollyanna lens at all, but it's much more like a productive approach. And uh, so yeah, it's kind of all ties back into like the, the holistic approach of like who is this person, what are they about and will they kind of fit in with the larger BibRave Pro family. CK: And that makes sense. And as you say, because you're not just building a service for brands, you're building a community too. So that is all so important. Talk to me a little bit more about community and how you all have seen the power of community in running, whether it's among the BibRave pros or even when you talk about your own running goals. TM: So this is actually like I, I love talking about community and what the actual, what the word actually means because I feel like it gets used and sort of abused a lot. TM:A lot of people say, oh, this is our community and I'll ask like, what does that mean when you say your community? And sometimes they'll be like, oh, it's our users if it's like an app company. And I'm like, that always makes me a little uncomfortable because I'm like, there's not necessarily a community. It could be, but just the fact that you have readers or users or even followers does not make them community. Or if they’re your past participants for an event or a past customer, like it's not a community until there becomes this sort of like interconnected fabric where they're all like concerned with one another's wellbeing and they're cheering for each other and they're sad with each other. Like there is a genuine connection between them. They're not just people who happen to call themselves the same thing. So that's kind of how I differentiate it. It's more than just a collection. It's sort of like an integrated collection JM:And I think, you know, Tim was mentioning we're working on this idea of the mission statement. Community is at the heart of that, but I think ultimately defining our definition of community will become critical to that vision because I do think we define it in different ways than a lot of people. CK: That's interesting. And for you all personally, how has having this community, I mean has it kind of reflected back in other parts of your life too? Like in your running or in your personal goals? TM: Yeah. We were talking with some people at the expo today and we're talking with a brand partner and they had somebody who they knew come up and start chatting and so then the five of us, the four of us were chatting or the five of us and it turns out that one of them is next door neighbors with one of our BibRave Pros. So she saw my shirt and she's like, oh my God, guys are with BibRave, my friend runs with you guys. And when we were like, Oh, who's your friend? Like we obviously will know who it is, and she said who it was and it was just like those kinds of interactions are very cool because you get to see more of their life and more of their friends and things like that, but also just watching them run races they didn't think that they would otherwise be running, whether that's a distance they didn't think they could conquer or a time they didn't think they could hit. That has been super cool to watch unfold throughout the BibRave Pro scene. JM:We also have some pros who have become like BRFs or best running friends with other pros across the country and have considered themselves BRFs for years before actually meeting in person, which is like a really powerful thing to think, I can consider you my best running friend but we haven't met and then now we're meeting for the first time in two years. Or just this past spring, one of our BibRave pros was at a marathon and one of our race partners, the race director was there running and trying to run a BQ time and our BibRave Pro is there running the half and so afterwards he was there and like caught a, you know, a picture of the race director on mile 25 and like, and they know each other through BibRave and they feel connected that way. Like that is a really kind of cool thing to just feel the community. It's a very big one, but then it seems smaller in those small moments. CK: That has got to be incredibly gratifying. Wow. To think that you created this and then those kinds of connections happen. JM: Absolutely. CK: So it's interesting and they want to talk about your goals for the future too, but you know, how do you think that you'll be able to keep that kind of community if, if BibRave continues to grow. JM: So we are grappling with this as every I would say company does or any type of community does as you grow. Part of it I think is Tim and I staying involved in the community We have a community manager that manages our pros and we want to empower her and you know, I will say in the past year or two we kind of took a step back because we wanted it to be like her thing. JM:But then we had heard honestly from our pros that they felt like we were not connected to them. So now we're just staying involved and it, and it's a learning for us because at first we thought well we're going to empower you to be the person that manages them, but now we know they still want to feel like we as co-founders and owners are invested in them. So that's part of it. Two, I think with any community, there's one, I obviously like the regional connection, so we have different regions and they have little micro communities within them but also the connections that happen within races. So we're finding different ways for people to meet new people within the community and not just talk to like the same 10 people that they've known for a long time. And I'm hoping that way, even though it's 100 and may become more people, find new ways to connect with more people. TM:Yeah. And I would just say sort of echoing a little bit with Jess said, finding new ways for them to interact with one another and finding new ways for us to interact with them. So part of our own podcast is just our way of sort of putting a voice to the BibRave brand for us to create content. We weren't doing like a blog or anything so we thought the podcast would be a really good way for us to still be communicating with the BibRave community and sort of putting our own content out there. So just looking for more opportunities like that will be, it is in will be important to us in the next two to four years. CK: And yes we should say too, you all have an excellent podcast and we will make sure to put a link to that in the show notes. And on the blog post too. So you've touched on this a couple times, but I want to ask about it a little more explicitly too. You are co-founders, you are married. How do you navigate that kind of relationship? JM: To be honest, it wasn't for me immediately obvious that like, yes, we're going to hit this moment where we're both going to work on this full time. I think as Tim said earlier, we didn't explicitly say that at the beginning even though like in your mind that would be a dream. I will say super honestly, when I was working full time doing different gigs and Tim was working on BibRave full time, I was traveling a lot and oftentimes I would feel like stress because I would call him like after the work day, the 15 minutes we get to catch up and we were talking about the BibRave, like we weren't catching up as husband and wife and that would be really frustrating. And also I would feel almost sometimes a sense of guilt, like I'm not giving as much as I should, but I only have so much time. Now I actually feel that we're both working on it full time. We have our moments where we're in work, we can then more strictly define moments where we're not. So even though we're spending so much time together, I feel like where we have a better balance and we do work really well together because we complement each other with different skills and talents and as we do that more I feel like we're hitting a good stride. So. TM:Yeah, I was definitely like, I'm not like a super possessive person but I was more like possessive just because, so Jessica is like a crazy baller. She's super smart, she's creative as hell. Like she was doing such amazing work for other brands and I wanted her to do that for our brand. So I was always pushing her to maybe find a way and, and you know, at some point it wasn't that obvious like we didn't know if the business could sustain both of us and she like, for her to stop working for another company would mean like an income source for the family goes away. So you have to like, come to grips with that reality, but that definitely was like my big motivator. I wanted her to be putting her talents to work for this thing that we had and it was, you know, I think that the, the tension that she talked about was totally on me, but I do agree that now that we're both like in it full time, it's been a very cooperative—we spend like a ridiculous amount of time together, but we almost had to do a, an impromptu trip to Florida like last week and traveling to Florida from Oregon is a really long way and it's like just a huge pain in the ass. But we looked at it and we're like, okay, it's not that big of a deal. We're just going to be like traveling together. If it was just Jessica going or just me going, it's more of a drag, but we're like, oh, we'll just go together. That'll be cool. The trip didn't even end up happening, but when we realized it wa

This episode is presented by Chicago Sport and Social Club, reminding you that summer is just around the corner. Get into a summer volleyball league now and use code “GOALS” to get 5 percent off until March 15. We've evolved into a team that's obsessed with goals - how people think of them, how they set them and then how they ferociously pursue them. When we set out to ask people about those things, we thought we'd given our #WeGotGoals podcast guests the perfect platform to talk about their life story. What we actually found was that we'd created a master class in goal-setting with high achievers across the country and the team that produces the podcast each week learned a whole lot along the way. As we cross into our second year with the #WeGotGoals podcast, all four hosts look back on the two big questions we ask all of our guests and we threw in one extra question. And so, hosts Cindy Kuzma, Maggie Umberger, Kristen Geil and I all took a dose of our own medicine and put each other on the spot to say our big goals aloud. In this episode, you'll hear us discuss three big questions: What's a big goal that you've accomplished over the past year? What's a big goal you're striving to accomplish in the future? What's one big takeaway from any of our guests on the #WeGotGoals podcast? Which episodes did we really learn from? The episodes that really changed our views on goals span the year and come from incredible people. Kuzma recalled her interview with sports interviewer and reporter Taylor Rooks who was excited by the distance between herself and her big goals, rather than dismayed by it. "Instead of thinking, oh gosh, I have all these things I want to accomplish, I'm so far from my goals. I don't know how I'll ever get there. This is really overwhelming and disillusioning," Kuzma recalled of her interview with Rooks. "She looks at that and thinks, wow, how exciting that I get to work toward that big goal." Umberger brought up an early episode with Dawn Jackson Blatner and a quote that is often referenced at HQ. "If you're enthusiastically doing the work, the opportunities will come," She quoted."If I'm doing the best I can and if I'm doing that authentically, there's nothing more than I can do than that." Geil referenced a recent episode with Jessica Zweig who touched on the art of trusting your gut. Geil astutely took away, "I feel like with goal setting, a lot of people are so driven by achievements and watching the numbers grow and hitting certain milestones that it can be really easy to ignore your gut or your intuition along the way in favor of going after what you think you should be doing. For me, there were two major takeaways, one on the art of visualizing and dreaming big from Matt Matros - founder of Protein Bar and Founder/CEO of Limitless Coffee and Tea - and the art of dedication I learned from Jen Ator, Director of Fitness at Women's Health, who set out to accomplish something absolutely ridiculous at the IRONMAN World Championship at Kona. Of Matros' interview, I remembered: "Visualization, as we know and as science has shown us is a powerful tool to help you prepare yourself for coming up against an obstacle, a goal, a situation. Athletes use it. CEOs use it because it prepares your brain to actually encounter that thing. It prepares your brain to encounter success. It prepares your brain to encounter failure. So if you're thinking about success every single day, you're more prepared to succeed." And when it came to Ator, I marveled at the joy she experienced during something so grueling as crossing the finish line at the IRONMAN world championship. "She loved that experience, but it was also the hardest experience she'd ever been through and I think that if you talk to anyone who's accomplished anything great, that is something that they have in common."   Thank you for joining us for a year of #WeGotGoals - we can't wait to see what we'll learn from goal-getters next.   --- Transcript: JAC: Welcome to #WeGotGoals, a podcast by aSweatLife.com on which we talk to high achievers about their goals. With me, I have Kristen Geil, Cindy Kuzma, Maggie Umberger, and myself, Jeana Anderson Cohen on this very special podaversary episode. It's our first anniversary of hosting the #WeGotGoals podcast and in celebration we are going guestless, hostful. So around the table you will hear us answer the big questions that we ask our  very impressive guests, but today it's all about us. KG: Yay. CK: Love it. KG: Finally. JAC: We've been waiting for an opportunity to talk about our goals. So our first question that we want to talk about today is a big goal that you've accomplished over the past year. Kristen, would you like to start? KG: Sure, I would. So over the past year I have gone through a couple of major career transitions. For a long time now. I've been dabbling in the thought of going full time freelance writing and also getting my personal training certification so that I could start to teach group fitness classes in gyms, which I actually started doing back in like 2014--and then I just stopped going to the classes that I was taking at DePaul and decided, no, I don't think I want to do this right now. But luckily I had a nice little nudge when my full time job back in June decided that they wanted to send all of our copywriters to Hoboken. And I said, no, thank you please. So it was the perfect--Noboken, yes, it was a hard pass. But luckily that gave me the little push that I needed to actually start being more aggressive about looking for freelance clients, which included ramping up my work with aSweatLife and starting to work on the podcast. And I was also lucky enough to be a part of the sweat life group that got their personal training certification through NASM. So for about eight months I really was doing the full time freelance writing and working in the gym and it was a really exciting time in my life and I learned that I loved working for myself and making all my own decisions and you know, not really having to answer to authority that was six levels above me in the company hierarchy. So yeah, it was really exciting. Although health insurance sucks always, always. JAC: What about you, Cindy? CK: Sure. So one goal that I achieved in the past year was requalifying for the Boston Marathon, which I've done for a few years in a row now. I've been fortunate enough to accomplish that, but this year it was a little bit different. I had a little bit of a wrench thrown in my plans when I had to have emergency surgery in February. And my best opportunity to re qualify for Boston was in Boston, which was in April two months later. So I've written and talked a little bit about this before, but in the context of goals, the way that I was able to accomplish that--to go to Boston to run fast enough to, to go back there--was really something that Yael Shy talked about when when Maggie interviewed her a couple months ago was kind of holding that goal with a loose hand and recognizing that just because things might not work out exactly the way I planned, they might still work out. CK: Being OK with the fact that I wasn't going to be able to do exactly the training I thought I needed to do or wanted to do to make that race my best ever. But just approaching it day by day, doing what I could every day to speed my healing and get back to training and running. And that really just allowed me to do it. You know, like when, when I needed to rest, when my doctor said to rest, I rested. When my doctor said it was OK to run, even though I was scared to run, I ran. And just day by day, step by step, I got there. And what's great about approaching goals in that way is that you have the big target, but if, if then after you set that big target, you think about what you have to do every day to make it happen and you trust that you do that, even if you don't achieve that goal--like if I hadn't made it, I would've been disappointed, but I wouldn't have been disappointed in myself. I would've known that I had done all I could. So it was made the victory extra sweet. JAC: I love that. OK, sorry to interject there. CK: Jeana, what goal did you accomplish this past year? JAC: So I, whenever I'm asked about my goals, I struggled to think of a goal that lives outside of the walls of aSweatLife. And this year is the first time I really actually did something in, in quite a few years, in the past five years that wasn't related to aSweatLife that I was extremely proud of and that was running a marathon for charity and actually unplugging to do it. And the reason why it was so prideful and just wonderful was because I actually unplugged for a day and it took a marathon for me to unplug, which is crazy and I've been saying it ever since. But it was such a wonderful experience. I mean, I'm getting emotional just thinking about it because for the first time in maybe two, two and a half years, I spent the day just thinking about what was ahead of me, what was to my right and my left and where I was at that moment, and I'm not going to cry. You are. JAC: But the magic was in the fact that when you really stop and think about a marathon, you can be at any point in that race. You can be first or you can be last and someone is still cheering for you. And that's such a powerful metaphor for life and such a powerful metaphor ... oh my gosh! (Crying) This is like when I talk about my parents. That's such a powerful metaphor for life and such a powerful metaphor for what we're doing at aSweatLife, which is building a community that is cheering for you. Whoever you are, no matter where you are in the race, and I just spent the entire day in love with that fact and this city--it was the Chicago Marathon, by the way. And and the sounds of it, the sights of it, the friends that I got to hug along the way. I wasn't married to my time, I wasn't married to where I placed. I just wanted to finish, be happy about it and give people hugs as I did it. So that was my favorite achievement this year. KG: Maggie, how about you? MU: So this is an exercise in practicing what we preach because when I had to think about a goal that I accomplished this year, I was like, I don't, I don't know. It's not something in my blood to do. I, I do. I'm a doer. I work hard, but I really don't celebrate my own accomplishments that often. And so I salute all of our guests for getting on this podcast and doing that because it's hard. It's really hard. And if I really think about it, I would probably take a small step back from just the past actual 12 months, like from March 2017 to right now. And I look at the leap that I made from advertising to the world of aSweatLife and jumping in headfirst. I think so many people that have congratulated me on that, I have just passed it off as like, oh, it was no big deal. MU: I just did it. But it was hard and I am proud that I did it and I'm so proud that I followed my gut and that it, it was never a choice of like, should I do this or should I not do this? It was like my gut was screaming to do it and so I just made it happen no matter what. And then over the last year, getting to experience all of the things that, that we have as aSweatLife, as part of that team has been unreal. And I'm only 25. So to be able to say that I've done the things I've done in the last year, which had been so full and getting to start the ambassadorship alongside Jeana has been unreal cool. To first see 26 people over the last year, go on a journey to live their best lives and then bring on another 30 plus, so now we have more than 60 ambassadors and 10 across the country on this journey with us. It speaks volumes of what aSweatLife stands for and I'm so grateful to be in the place where I am that I said yes back in 2016 to all of these new opportunities and then just kind of jumping in headfirst saying yes, making it happen. I'm very proud of it. I'm proud of what we've accomplished and I'm, I'm proud of myself for making the leap. JAC: I'm proud of you too! MU: OK enough about me. JAC: I knew that was going to happen. I get to see Maggie every single day and she is a workhorse and she does big things. Then she always moves right along and she just did a crazy thing and then it's time to go. MU: But now we look ahead at the goals that we're setting in the future.  So Kristen, a big goal in the future, what is it for you? KG: So this is more of a a fun goal for me. I say fun now. I might say not say the same thing later, but back when I first started writing for aSweatLife, I was known as the runner person, I think. I went through a year where I did three marathons and I really poured every part of my spare time and my being and my personality into like running with friends and setting these goals and putting the work in and making a schedule and sticking to it and for various reasons I've gotten far far away from that over the past two years I guess. But this year I want to get back to running for fun. I've signed up for a half marathon in September to help motivate me a little bit, but this time I want to make it a very different experience, which is maybe not quite in line with the goal setting that we talk about here. I just want to have fun. I just want to enjoy it and not worry about time and not get competitive with myself because that's when I start to lose the joy in it. I just want to enjoy going out for the lakefront path, being out there for a couple of hours and then enjoy race day. Maybe bring my dad and my sister along, explore a new city, see a beautiful course. Just get back to the fun of it and start reclaiming that part of my personality that I've kind of let go for the past couple of years. Cindy, what about you? CK: Well, first of all, I think that's a fantastic goal and I mean, I think if we've learned nothing from from #WeGotGoals, it's that goals come in all shapes and sizes, right? And faster is just one goal when it comes to running. So that sounds awesome. One of my goals for the year ahead is to write another book. I have collaborated in the past with the fabulous Dawn Jackson Blattner, who we've had on the podcast before on her book and I'm just about to sign a contract to start a new collaboration and I can't talk too much about it yet, but you know, I'm really excited about making it happen in the next, gosh, six months or so before we turn it in. And I think the way I'm going to accomplish that is just the same way I talked about training for Boston. We've broken it down into what needs to happen month by month, week by week, day by day. CK: So while writing a whole book seems like kind of an overwhelming proposition, you just focus on what you can do that day and that week and then you hope that you end up with the, the end product that you're going to be proud of. And I trust that we will. And, uh, I know that when we get to the point where we're publishing the book and we have to launch it and market it, I'll have to rely on another piece of advice from #WeGotGoals about asking for help from friends and other people, but that's a, that'll happen in 2019. So maybe that'll be what I talk about on the podaversary round table next year. JAC: That's a very big goal, Cindy. And we cannot wait to read your work on this mysterious future book. MU: Yeah. OK, Jeana, big goal. JAC: OK. So I'm going to go back to aSweatLife because I can't be too personal, right?  So my big goal for the year ahead is growing aSweatLife--I am very growth-minded right now. When I think about the company and the way that I want it to grow, my biggest concern and my biggest focus is on growing it in a way that is consistent with our values. So making sure that everyone who comes on board is sort of enlightened in the ways of everything is better with friends and is excited about creating content that helps people live their best lives and then from there, my key challenge is empowering people to do big things that they have only dreamed of doing before and getting out of their way. That is the one thing I've worked on the most professionally over the past year and a half when I went from doing it alone to having Maggie and now to having Kristen by my side. When other people are basing their personal happiness and a lot of their time on the job that you give them. JAC: It is so important. I have learned, I do not know this implicitly, but it is so important to ensure that they are actually satisfied by the work that they're doing. So if I am the roadblock, if I am the person standing in the way of the actual job they want to be doing, then it's me. I'm the problem. So my key objective is making sure that I'm not the block, I'm not the problem and that people are empowered to do the work that they love while still growing in places, in readers, and in people we empower. CK: Hey, it's Cindy.  And we'll get back to our special podaversary round table episode in just a minute, but first a word from our sponsor this week, Chicago Sport and Social Club. With them it's more than a game, it's a social sports experience. So you're listening to us talk about our goals, but you certainly have goals of your own big or small and whatever they are, Chicago Sport and Social Club has a lot of reasons why you should play. You might love the feel of the sand between your toes. You might want to meet people or you know it's been a long winter in Chicago, as always. You just might want to move your social life outside for a season. So whatever your goals or your reasons for playing Chicago Sports and Social Club has a beach volleyball league for you. You can create a team of all women. You can grab a group of men and women or you can sign up on your own and get set up with a team as an individual. Whatever your situation, if bump set and spike are the words that punctuate your summer, it is time to register for the league built around you. To do that go to www.chicagosocial.com, and you can use code goals--that's G-O-A-L-S when you register to get five percent off from now through the 15th. Thanks to Chicago Sport and Social Club and now back to our episode. CK: Maggie, how about you? What's up next for you? I MU: I'll go back to more of a personal goal, since Jeana covered a career goal, I'll kind of bounce it back to a personal one, which I think is totally related to just how you live your life as a whole, is if you don't feel good, like how can you produce good work and I feel like I've had injuries over the past year where I'm just like, so over having the injuries and so I would, I would love to get back into a routine for myself. I feel like I have had the great privilege to experience all kinds of different workouts with aSweatLife and I love that. But I think having a couple of different injuries has made me need to go to physical therapy and that's been a smart thing for me to do. So I want to keep those things I've learned in physical therapy and implement them into my new routine and kind of carve out time for myself. MU: Not every day of the week, but you know, three to four days of the week where the workouts that I do are the best ones for my body. Because I think another thing that we see at aSweatLife is the fitness trends. We get to cover them and talk about them and they're exciting. But if you don't listen to your body then you'll end up getting injured. And so one of the biggest takeaways that I've taken from the podcast was with Shane Emmett, the CEO of Health Warrior, and he kind of takes inventory of his calendar where he blocks out all of his time and he sees where he's spending his time and if and if I've spent all of my time during the week just teaching versus taking classes or doing my own workouts, I want to take note of that and make a couple changes for the next week and so constantly improving and optimizing my schedule so that I feel the best on just a personal note than I'll be able to produce the best work possible. But I think it's that constant balance that we're all striving for of how do you fit it, fit it all in the week, everything that you want to. It's just going to be kind of a week by week reassessing, reoptimizing so that so that I do feel the most rested and best every single every single week. When I start out. KG: Maggie, you kind of touched on this just now, but over the past year we've been fortunate enough to interview dozens of goal-setters and go-getters and we've gotten to hear the tricks of the trade straight from their mouths. So one of the final things we wanted to talk about in this podaversary was our biggest takeaways from one certain episode or trends that you saw over all of the ones that we've done so far. So Cindy, you've heard every single episode several times over with your editing. What's one big takeaway that you took from any of our guests? CK: Oh my gosh. I feel like it's been kind of a master class in goal setting and I feel so fortunate to have been able to help launch this and work on this and get the chance to learn from these guests  and from you all every week. So thank you. There are actually two things that Taylor Rooks, who I interviewed not too long ago. She's a young sports anchor and journalist. Two things that she said really stuck with me in terms of kind of mindset shifts that have helped me think about my goals a little bit differently. And the first one is to remind yourself that you are where you are for a reason. That it's easy to doubt yourself. We touch so many times in so many ways on impostor syndrome. But you know, she really has this, this confidence that that's not ego. It's not off putting, but it's like the sheer, like confidence that just like inspires you and attracts you to her. And she said, one of the practical ways that she works on that is reminding herself that she wouldn't be where she was if she didn't have the skills and the talents and the ability to get there. CK: And I think we all kind of look for these data points that, that enforce to us that we are worthwhile and we actually have them. And we just need to step back and look at them and pay as much attention to those as we do to the negative voices in our heads and in the comments and wherever else we encounter them. The other thing that she said, and I am sure she wasn't the first person to say this, but she talked about being inspired by the distance between where she was and where she wanted to be. That instead of thinking, oh gosh, I have all these things I want to accomplish, I'm so far from my goals. I don't know how I'll ever get there. This is really overwhelming and disillusioning. She looks at that and thinks, wow, how exciting that I get to work toward that big goal. I'm here where I am now and I can see the path forward and I just get to do the work. And how exciting is that? So those, both of those things have been really helpful in helping me kind of refocus on the positive and view my journey as one that has already lots of things to celebrate and a lot more to look forward to. So that is something I've learned. Kristen, what have you learned? KG: I think I can take two viewpoints here. The first and the simpler one is what we heard from Jessica during the live podcast recently during SweatWorkingWeek and she talked for a couple of minutes about the importance of trusting her gut and her intuition and I think that is something that all of our goal-getters have in common but maybe didn't explicitly say. I feel like with goal setting, a lot of people are so driven by achievements and watching the numbers grow and hitting certain milestones that it can be really easy to ignore your gut or your intuition along the way in favor of going after what you think you should be doing. And I think just hearing that explicitly said from someone who is so in tune with herself, but admits to still making mistakes. You're, I mean you can misinterpret your gut intuition. KG: It was just a nice reminder to maybe look inward instead of looking for outward proof of hitting your goals or setting your goals. So that's something that I'm going to try and keep in mind more as I go through my 2018. The other, and I think it was just a recurring theme across so many of our episodes. Even the ones where we didn't talk to co-founders or partners is that everyone goes further together and you know, we heard that with several people mentioning that you have to be willing to ask for help from others, especially during the early stages of a startup or you have to have a support system who's going to understand that when you're really working towards the goal, maybe you have to be really focused on that for awhile and you can't go out for dinners spur of the moment. But at the end of the day, you know, like we say, everything is better with friends. And I think that was something that all of our goal setters, even though they've got such amazing individual achievements, they never forget the people who helped them get there. Maggie, you look like you want to say something right now. MU: Yeah. I'm just like nodding my head in agreement. And I, I really think I have to say that this statement, I think actually once a week and it's from Dawn Jackson Blatner's episode, like number three, a long time ago, when we started the podcast. When she says, if you're enthusiastically doing the work, the opportunities will come and that statement means so much to me and it, it just rings so true to me because I know I don't have all the answers and I'm, I'm one  to look outward for affirmation and to wonder if the work I'm doing is worthwhile. But really it comes down to if I'm doing the best I can and if I'm doing that authentically, there's nothing more than I can do than that. And that's what people will ultimately notice and see. And we've, we've heard a lot of other guests talk about not really being sure and jumping into a world that they weren't completely sure if they should be in or if that, that whole word should, could be like a death sentence, but they just choose something else. MU: They choose to be authentic, to go forward as best they can to enthusiastically do the work is like the biggest motivation I have on days when I'm not sure how to move forward or if I've made the right choice or you know, whatever that might be. I think it's like a little mantra for me. So I, I so appreciate her saying it for putting it into words that I can just quickly think of. Even if it's like in a workout, like if I'm here enthusiastically doing these bicep curls and then then I'm sure the muscles will come, you know. CK: Oh my gosh, I have this awesome image of Maggie enthusiastically doing bicep curls. MU: I smile when I work out. I do. So, so that, that's by far the biggest takeaway I have just because I think of it every single week. And Jeana, what about you? JAC: I personally learned something from every single episode of the #WeGotGoals podcast, but I think  two points in particular have stood out to me recently as I listen and re-listen to episodes. One of those being Matt Matros and the way that he talked about visualizing goals. Visualization, as we know and as science has shown us is a powerful tool to help you prepare yourself for coming up against an obstacle, a goal, a situation. Athletes use it. CEOs use it because it prepares your brain to actually encounter that thing. It prepares your brain to encounter success. It prepares your brain to encounter failure. So if you're thinking about success every single day, you're more prepared to succeed, which is insane, but hearing the detail at which he visualizes his day and encourages other entrepreneurs digitalized. There's inspired me to start using that exercise in my own life and it is also a case for not worrying. Worrying is wishing for a failure, but that's the last time. I'll preach that at Justin Cohen. But the other major takeaway that I had over the course of the year was the way that Jen Ator talked about her time with Ironman and the Ironman world championships at Kona because it became this, this great big thing that she--it became a journey that she went through and overcame and it became the thing that really punctuated her life. JAC: Whether it was her goals at work or whether it was her goals out on the field, she loved that experience, but it was also the hardest experience she'd ever been through and I think that if you talk to anyone who's accomplished anything great, that is something that they have in common. They loved that experience. They came out on the other side, but it was incredibly challenging and difficult, so it's just a testament to the fact that doing the work, there's just no substitute for it and the emotional and physical and professional rewards that come with doing the work will be equal to the work that you put in. And here's to another great year of the #WeGotGoals podcast. Anything you want to say before you go? CK: Thank you all for, for your amazing work. It's been awesome to see you guys on a monthly basis and to hear you in my ears every week. It's been incredible. JAC: Thanks to the listeners and thanks to the hard work of Cindy Kuzma who produces this podcast this week and every week for the past year. We'll see you on the other side. CK: This podcast was produced by me and it's another thing that's better with friends for, so please share it with yours. The best way to do that is subscribing wherever you get your podcasts and then leaving us a rating or a review while you're there. Special thanks to J. Mano for our theme music and to our guests this week, the #WeGotGoals aSweatLife team. That is Jeana Anderson Cohen, the CEO and founder; Maggie Umberger, who is the director of community and content innovation; and Kristen Geil, the editor in chief, and of course thanks to you our listeners, we wouldn't have been doing this for the past year without you and we hope you'll stick around while we keep doing it for the next year.

Justin Cohen is the 2015 Rookie of the Year and has started topping the charts by making it into one Pro Tour top 8. Click to Tweet: I got a ton of value from Justin Cohen when he shared his story on MTG Pro Tutor today! Click here: http://bit.ly/mtgprotutor-ep34 First Set Fourth Edition(This set had no symbol) Favorite Set Modern Masters Limited is Justin's favorite format so Modern Masters was  his favorite because it had a very deep Limited format. Favorite Card Gaea's Cradle What makes Magic: The Gathering fun for you? Drafting. Plain and simple, Justin LOVES to draft. Early Challenge Finding others to play with was hard as a young player. On top of that he had to find players better than himself so he could improve. Whenever Justin identified someone he could learn from he would gravitate towards them and soak in all he could. Level Up Moment From Theros to Khans was Justin's biggest growth spurt. He avidly consumed content and by knowing more he made better decisions. Proudest Magic Moment Making Top 8 at Pro Tour Fate Reforged in 2015. Best Format Draft. How to Choose a Standard Deck Take up a deck that minimizes your opponents advantage. Justin will likely play a fast deck because Standard is not his strength and limiting the time a superior Standard player has to gain control is advantageous for him. Biggest Mistake Players Make Getting their priorities mixed up. People say they want to improve but then default to protecting their ego. Too many people ascribe luck to their loses instead of internalizing what they did wrong. Card Evaluation Tips Justin needs the whole picture and waits for most of the cards to be released before he sifts through them. He looks for trends in the size of creatures and trends in removal quality. Justin also will consider the archetypes being supported. Sealed & Draft Tips Sealed: Justin looks for flexibility. Try to construct multiple decks with your pool. Register your best deck but constantly reevaluate and sideboard aggressively to combat your opponents strategy.
