This episode features the owner and founder of VCPM, Inc. and Game Changers, Vanessa Peralta-Mitchell.

Vanessa’s journey is one of coming to running, to fill a gap in her life and to honor many of the amazing trailblazing women that came before her. Little did she know she would be a trailblazer in her own respect. The more she learned and grew as a runner the more she saw a space that needed more diversity. 

Take a listen to this episode to hear Vanessa’s journey, and what it has meant to be a trailblazer to help the running community be a place where everyone can see themselves from the top down.

Welcome to Run Build Grow hosted by Andrew Ware. Thank you for joining us as we explore the communal spirit of running.
I this episode, I interview…myself (and yes it is a bit weird haha). I share a lot about my running journey, and somewhat ramble for a bit. This episode covers a bit of the heart behind why community has been such a pivotal part of my running journey. I explore the unrealistic expectations we often hold ourselves too, and how we can be better about recognizing our place in the whole rather than trying to be who we aren’t.
