How Running Together Can Build Unbreakable Bond | Nick Thompson & Ryan Holiday
There’s nothing quite like seeing your kids light up over something you’ve always loved. In today's episode, Ryan sits down with Nick Thompson, CEO of The Atlantic and author of The Running Ground, to talk about how running has created a special bridge between him, his father, and his sons. Nick Thompson is the CEO of The Atlantic, an American magazine founded in 1857, which earned the top honor for magazines, General Excellence, at the National Magazine Awards in both 2022 and 2023. In his time as CEO, the company has seen record subscriber growth. Before joining The Atlantic, he was the editor-in-chief of Wired magazine. He is also a former contributor for CBS News and has previously served as editor. He has long been a competitive runner; in 2021, he set the American record for men 45+ in the 50K race.Check out Nick’s new book The Running Ground: A Father, a Son, and the Simplest of SportsFollow Nick on Instagram and X @NXThompson👉 Give yourself the ultimate gift of parenting tools, structure, and community.
