Hey, I’m Dominic

I started The Running Effect Podcast on July 17, 2020, with the hope of inspiring the next generation of runners through conversations with the fastest of the fastest at every level of the sport. Since that day in July, we’ve released hundreds of podcasts, become an LLC., created event marketing for some of the biggest events in the sport, and reached millions of people on social media every month. In 2023, my podcast got as low as #15 on Spotify’s charts for “Top Sports Podcasts in the US,” beating out major ESPN shows like Stephen A. Smith’s First Take. By accomplishing this, I became the youngest individual in history to make it to Spotify’s podcast charts. The core of The Running Effect is to inspire others to turn their what ifs? into realities, and I look to do that in every piece of content I produce.

Hey, I’m Dominic

I launched The Running Effect Podcast on July 17, 2020, aiming to inspire the next generation of runners by interviewing top athletes from various levels of the sport. Since then, the podcast has evolved into an LLC, engaged in event marketing for major sports events, and garnered a vast social media following. In 2023, it ranked as high as #15 on Spotify’s “Top Sports Podcasts in the US,” surpassing prominent ESPN shows and making me the youngest person to achieve this milestone. The podcast’s mission is to motivate listeners to turn their potential into reality through each episode.
