Running on Equal Ground: A Conversation with Brooks Running CEO Jim Weber (S4E17)

Brooks Running CEO Jim Weber joins Aaron to speak about the brand’s ethos that respect, safety and freedom should be shared and ensured for all. The two discuss the work Brooks Running has done during the midst of three crises—the COVID-19 pandemic, a challenging economy, and the systemic racism Black Americans continue to face. The running shoes company has provided 45,000 pairs of shoes to frontline workers during COVID-19, donated $100,000 to the Equal Justice Initiative and has continued to advocate for social and environmental justice as a fundamental part of the company’s values.
