I Went On The 1609 Podcast To Talk About How CITIUS Got Started + More

October 21, 2017

This week, I hopped on a Skype call with Evan Schwartz and Alexandra Sizemore of The 1609 Podcast to talk about how I came up with the idea for starting CITIUS, how I got into running, my vision for the future of CITIUS, a lot of love for the loyal legion of Citwits that we have and much more.

Someone finally asks me if I could go on a run anywhere in a world with anyone from history, who would it be and where? I was caught off-guard!
