"I run with all dogs, any dogs." Lauren "Fithy" Hunnewell is the North America running events manager for New Balance. She is the New York Road Runners partnership lead, so she works super closely with the NYRR team on events including the New York City Half, the Fifth Avenue Mile, and, of course, the New York City Marathon. So, Lauren has a super fun job. She also does something really amazing every Monday and Friday morning: She runs with shelter dogs. Twice a week, every week, no matter the weather, Lauren goes to her local animal shelter to take the dogs for runs. Over the past two years, Lauren has logged more than 500 miles with dogs who need homes. In 2025 alone, she ran with 33 unique breeds. In this conversation, Lauren, who has run more than 40 marathons, talks about how she became an animal lover, and how she ended up volunteering at the Animal Rescue League down the street.

As retail sheds its four walls, technology must follow. Jason James (CIO, Aptos) and Nikki Baird (VP of Strategy & Product, Aptos) join us to explore how brands like New Balance deploy 90+ registers at the NYC Marathon—then dismantle them just as quickly. The conversation reveals how point-of-sale systems built on next-generation databases enable everything from parking lot pop-ups to van-based fitting experiences, all while maintaining enterprise-grade security in environments where network connectivity is more hope than guarantee.Set Your Associates FreeKey takeaways:New Balance transforms NYC Marathon into 100-store chain for one weekendOffline capability: transactions continue when networks fail, sync when connectivity returnsIn-person acquisition yields stickier customers with higher lifetime valueRetail ranks third most-attacked sector; mobile commerce increases threat surfaceStore associates need intuitive systems for high-pressure, temporary deployments"If they're able to pull this off in the middle of a parking lot, I'm probably a hell of a lot more likely to go in the store next time." – Jason James on how ephemeral retail builds store trust"A customer acquired through an in-person, in real life experience is stickier, has longer lifetime value, is ultimately more loyal than a customer that's acquired online." – Nikki Baird on the power of physical engagement"God forbid a retailer gets hit back at headquarters with ransomware and it takes down their core network. We can still transact." – Jason James on offline resilience"It's not just you put products on racks or on shelves and you wait for people to walk in the door.

The Foosh is back! Following his horrific car accident last August, KFI board op Foosh’s arm is healing, as is nature. LA is getting ready to clean up dangerous, inoperable RVs — if they’re worth under $4,000. Eniola Taiwo, an 8th grader in Connecticut, sent a letter to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce requesting a star on the Walk of Fame for the LAFD. And it worked! Westwood's most hardened criminal has been brought to justice. His crime? Painted over faded crosswalks to make them safer for pedestrians. If you own a cat, there’s a new California law that’s taking away the one thing that’s protected your furniture for decades. Starting Jan. 1, AB 867 comes into effect, banning the practice of declawing cats in the state. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, I sat down with Olympic gold medalist Gabby Thomas while I was in San Antonio for The Running Event, and it was such a fun, inspiring conversation. Gabby had an incredible 2024 season where she won gold in the 200 meters in Paris and was part of the gold medal 4×100 and 4×400 teams. She runs for New Balance, studied neurobiology at Harvard, and went on to earn her master's in public health, so we talk about how her academic background shapes the way she thinks about performance, health, and life beyond the track. We get into what it actually felt like to win that individual gold, how she handled the pressure of the Olympic Games, what she's learning in this phase of her career, and what she's dreaming about as she looks toward LA 2028. We also chat about her partnership with Amazfit, how she uses their watch in training and racing, and why this season has been so meaningful to her both on and off the track.

From walk-on to Olympian, Emily Mackay has rewritten every expectation.Now, she's back on the show to open up about the reinvention that's powering the best chapter of her career.Emily ran collegiately at Binghamton University, where her best NCAA finish was 6th in the 1500m as a senior in 2022. She joined New Balance Boston that summer of 2022, while training under coach Mark Coogan. What followed was a rapid improvement as a professional, lowering her 1500m personal best from 4:08.97 to 3:59.99 in 2023. Emily was then one of America's best female middle distance runners in 2024. In addition to her 1500m exploits, her 800m season's best of 1:57.87 ranked sixth in the US that year. She also ran in the 1500m semifinals in the Paris Olympics. In 2025, Mackay finished 4th in the 3,000m at the US indoor championships in February, and took 10th at Tokyo in the 1500m semifinals with a 4:08.19. Emily signed with New Balance in 2022, and while she was formerly part of Team New Balance Boston, she has since left the team. Emily's rise is proof that belief, resilience, and reinvention can take you anywhere.

From American-record brilliance to a late-career grind, Evan Jager's story has been one of constant adaptation. But now he's ready to call it quits and move onto the next phase of life without running. The late-career push included an 8th place finish in the men's 3000m steeplechase at the U.S. Championships in 8:28.21 this year. He also ran the New Balance 5th Avenue Mile in September of this year and came in 19th with a 3:54.9. Jager originally made a name for himself when he set the 3000m Steeplechase American Record in July of 2015 with a 8:00.45. His other PRs include 13:02.40 in the 5,000m; 7:35.16 in the 3,000m; and 3:32.97 in the 1,500m. After one year in the NCAA ranks as a Wisconsin Badger (he came in 8th in the 1,500m at outdoors during the 2008 season), Jager turned professional. He then went on to win seven consecutive U.S. steeplechase titles from 2012–2018. He made his presence known on the world stage, grabbing a silver medal at the 2016 Rio Games in the 3000m steeplechase; prior to that he came in 6th at the 2012 London Games in the 3000m steeplechase.After a serious foot injury, Jager burst back on the scene in 2022, nabbing a second place finish at the 2022 USATF outdoor games.Check in as we unpack the peaks, valleys, and lasting legacy of one of America's most influential distance runners as he flips to the next professional chapter of his memorable career.

In this week's episode of the B2B Marketing Podcast in association with Brands2Life, Kavita Singh, Head of Growth Solutions Content spoke with Tim Corcoran, Managing Director, Marketing & Creative Services, Brands2Life and Sally Jacobs, Senior Director of Social Media & Advocacy, Qlik. The episode kicks off with the trio discussing the current competitive landscape of B2B marketing, underscoring why it's difficult to stand out and what brands can do to feel original. They highlight the relationship between brand and demand, emphasizing the need for both authenticity and strategic partnerships while also addressing the role of AI in enhancing creativity. If that wasn't enough, they also touch on why breaking down organizational silos and focusing on customer needs can lead to memorable campaigns that really resonate. And if you're looking for top-tier brand activation examples, they touch on Astronomer and New Balance's ability to create compelling stories while also incorporating humor.
"People always give me a hard time, they're like, 'You never show emotion after your race.' And I'm like, 'You run this and then you try to show emotion!'" It's hard to describe the feeling of walking out into the stunning Appel Room at Jazz at Lincoln Center, warmly greeted by 500 people in Team Ali sweatshirts, courtesy of New Balance, and getting to interview Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone. This live show was magical, marvelous, magnificent, and so very memorable. Thank you to everyone who joined us, thank you to Sydney, and thank you to New Balance for the unwavering support. Sydney is one of the greatest track and field athletes of all-time. She's a six-time world record holder. She holds the world record in the 400m hurdles, and the American record in the flat 400m. She's a four-time Olympic gold medalist, a five-time World Championships gold medalist, a one-time silver medalist (oh we talk about her relationship with the silver), and a five-time U.S. champion. She can also juggle, and it was an absolute joy to get to know her during this event. Enjoy!

Ever wondered what happens when radio hosts let loose and discuss everything from Gen Z fashion trends to beach etiquette? This episode delivers an entertaining mix of cultural observations, personal stories, and candid conversations about the unwritten rules we all navigate in public spaces. The hosts dive into the fascinating world of generational fashion cycles, where yesterday's "dad shoes" become today's coolest kicks. They explore how Gen Z has embraced items like New Balance sneakers that were once considered outdated, creating a full-circle moment in fashion history. This leads to thoughtful reflections on how different generations might have more in common than we realize. The conversation takes an interesting turn when they discuss the viral incident of a beachgoer having his Bluetooth speaker confiscated at Clifton Beach. This sparks a broader discussion about public etiquette, personal boundaries, and the growing frustration with people who impose their music choices on others in shared spaces. From hiking trails to restaurants, the hosts and listeners weigh in on where we should draw the line with personal entertainment in public.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“This year, with all the challenges and setbacks, gave me a lot of confidence in that I was still able to come out and deliver and make this team. I have a lot of confidence from experience and just knowing that no matter the circumstances, I'm able to stay focused and get the job done; just focus on myself and what I need to do to be the best runner I can be. That's where I draw my confidence from.”My guest for today's episode is Emily Mackay. In the 1500m, the margin between heartbreak and a ticket to the World Championships can be a lean, a lunge, or a fraction of a second. For Emily, it was the last 100m at Hayward Field, stride for stride with her former training partner Heather McLean, both fighting for the third and final spot to Tokyo. Mackay pulled ahead in that final stretch and stopped the clock at 4:04.38 for third place behind Nikki Hiltz and Sinclaire Johnson and secured her place on Team USA for Tokyo.It's been less than a year since Mackay qualified for her first Olympics — a breakout 2024 season that saw her win World Indoor bronze in Glasgow in the 1500. She went on to run 3:55 to move to #3 all time among Americans and stood on the podium at the U.S. Olympic trials. She also reached the semifinal of the 1500m at the Paris Olympics, but in the months since, She's navigated change and injury.She parted ways with Team New Balance Boston's training group during the outdoor season and is now coached by Pete Julian. She's still sponsored by New Balance while living in Boulder, Colorado. In this episode, we talk about the U.S. championships, the transition between training groups, and the confidence it takes to keep climbing in one of the most competitive eras of American distance running.____________Host: Chris Chavez | @chris_j_chavez on InstagramGuest: Emily Mackay | @emily_mac7 on Instagram Produced by: Jasmine Fehr | @jasminefehr on InstagramMentioned in this episode…Watch: USATF Championships women's 1500m final____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Straight out of Bikini Bottom, Olipop's limited edition SpongeBob cans have arrived.

Across the planet, the actions of humans are creating novel ecosystems which, according to the BBC, have been dubbed ‘freakosystems' by the daughter of a professor of ecology. ‘Freakosystems' are places where unfamiliar species mix with native species in unexpected ways. Research into the Hawaiian island Oahu's lush landscape demonstrates how the actions of humans have radically changed the natural world. What do these emerging ecosystems tell us about both the resilience and fragility of life on Earth?
