007. Kate and Justin Arsenault | rnnr: running a company, running for a good time!
rnnr is a running company based in Colorado that makes super cool hats, beanies, socks and tees.
We chatted with Kate and Justin Arsenault, founder and co-founder of rnnr, running enthusiasts and big fans of Vert.
Kate and Justin seriously love running, but don’t take themselves too seriously as runners. And that's the main idea behind their company. They were motivated to start rnnr to inspire people running, building that cool atmosphere and camaraderie that creates its various and colorful community. It goes back to the main reason WHY we run: to move our bodies, to feel good about ourselves, to see new places and meet amazing people.
Kate was originally motivated to start the company after working with kids as a special ed teacher and track/XC coach. She started sponsoring kids to be part of their school running programs. Nowadays, rnnr supports many initiatives supporting youth running programs and communities.
During this episode we learn how the idea of rnnr was born, how the company started, what are the challenges of growing a business, the fine art of having a family, being athletes and balancing that with running a company.
