Are you a runner with a creative ambition? This episode is a deep dive into the Tracksmith Fellowship Program with two Tracksmith team members– Lee Glandorf (Director of Marketing &amp; Communications) and Kamilah Journét (Marketing Manager). Tracksmith is an independent running brand that crafts performance apparel that celebrates both the style and culture of running. Last year, they launched the inaugural Tracksmith Fellowship Program, which supported 6 projects through a year-long creative grant, including the Grounded Podcast with Dinée Dorame! The current 2020-21 cohort is working on a range of projects spanning film, music, podcasting, sculpture, photography and design. In this conversation, Lee and Kamilah discuss the mission of the brand, the fellowship program origin story, and tips for future applicants.

Episode 18 - Lee Glandorf & Kamilah Journét, Tracksmith Fellowship Program Overview & Advice

"The best thing that can happen to you is to have all your plans get blown up because then you learn how you react to that."   Last week, Tracksmith announced it was adding two members to its team: professional athletes Mary Cain and Nick Willis. But Nick and Mary aren't just figureheads for the brand or sponsored athletes. They're full-time, salaried employees. On this episode, Lee Glandorf, head of communications at Tracksmith, shares the behind-the-scenes making of those deals, and talks about what hiring Nick and Mary means for both them and for the brand. She also explains why now — in the midst of a global pandemic — was the right time to make these moves. Lee is a former Yale University rower turned runner, who also shares her running story and talks about how, as someone who thrives on lists and plans, she's adjusting to life right now and finding ways to connect with the community.   What you’ll get on this episode:  How Lee is handling this time as a self-proclaimed “control freak” (6:00) How Tracksmith pivoted strategies and plans at the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic (12:00) All about Tracksmith’s decision to hire professional runners Mary Cain and Nick Willis earlier this month (16:30) How Lee fell in love with running (33:00) How Lee got her job at Tracksmith (42:50)    What we mention on this episode: On the Job with Taylor Ritzel, Content Acquisition at Netflix Run Free Grand Prix "Mary Cain Announces New Role at Tracksmith," via Women’s Running "To Run My Best Marathon at Age 44, I Had to Outrun My Past," via Wired   Follow Lee:  Instagram @leeglandorf    Follow Ali:  Instagram @aliontherun1 Like the Facebook page Join the Facebook group Twitter @aliontherun1 Support on Patreon Blog Strava    Listen &amp; Subscribe:  Apple Podcasts Spotify SoundCloud Overcast Stitcher Google Play    SUPPORT the Ali on the Run Show! If you’re enjoying the show, please subscribe and leave a rating and review on Apple Podcasts.
