In this installment of The itsme Podcast I interview Zen Runner, leader of a community called the Slow Runners Club. He talks about how he turned a podcast about weight loss into a tight-knit group of runners who aren't speed-focused. Now, through SRC, he represents "the back of the pack" and is hoping to build more awareness of the demand from runners like his community members.

Zen gives great tips for how to build communities in general, and his story shows how social media can be leveraged to do great things. Find him on all platforms @zenrunner.

Psst...we've got a community of our own! Join at https://www.facebook.com/groups/962275053893154/
