What our partners say.
“Working with Dominic (The Running Effect) for the last 4 years has come with two realizations. 1) Dominic will write down what you need, will create a plan and set of deliverables that satisfy those needs, and then he will overdeliver with both the total amount of coverage but also the quality of that work. 2) I have met a person who is willing to sacrifice on saying “yes” to everything because he is focused on telling stories in this sport in an authentic way which is the perfect fit for HOKA.
“Dominic is one of the most professional, punctual, and mature people I've had the chance to work with, and he happens to be 21. I mention his age not to put him in a box, but because it's genuinely part of what makes him exceptional. As a younger business owner myself, I understand how much it matters to have grown up inside the culture, to instinctively know what resonates with the generation coming up. Dominic brings the judgment and discipline of someone thirty years his senior, paired with every advantage of being native to this new era. Everything moves faster now. Businesses that don't have someone who can match that speed (or stay ahead of it) will eventually be overtaken by the ones who do. Dominic is that person.
“You won't find a better partner than Dominic. He's incredibly generous with his time, knowledge, talent, and network, and truly approaches partnerships the way they should be: side by side, working toward a shared goal. Beyond that, he's one of the most dialed-in people I know when it comes to the social landscape, and an exceptionally talented creator in his own right. Any brand would be fortunate to work with both him and The Running Effect.
“Working with Dominic is always a pleasure. His constant drive to do things bigger and better made each project we worked on together better than the last. His passion and creativity allowed us to amplify the Under Armour Run brand in ways we never had before. His podcast is a tour de force for the world of running and I'm endlessly inspired by the stories he's able to tell through his content.
“Dominic's deep understanding of our mission leads to amazing content - the perfect blend of hype and insight. No other team can create professional content at their speed. The 2026 after-event hype video is one of the best pieces of content I've ever seen. Looking forward to working with him and his team for years to come.
“Dominic serves as a strategic advisor to Attuned, where his perspective has shaped how we think about growth, storytelling, and the people we're building for. He brings a rare combination of relentless drive and steady professionalism. What sets Dom apart is the empathy underneath the ambition. He listens closely, reads people well, and consistently brings ideas to the table that feel both inventive and grounded. Having his mind in the room has made Attuned sharper, and I'm glad to be building alongside him.

“The only podcast where I forget I'm on a podcast.
“Dominic is professionalizing and conquering the running podcast space, one conversation at a time. Being a repeat guest has been an honor. He's an insightful interviewer, a genuine thinker, and an even better person off the mic. The Running Effect has sharpened my coaching, challenged my thinking, and broadened my understanding of what this sport means to the people who choose to lace up their sneakers daily. There's no one I'd rather talk running with.
“Dominic's Running Effect view of athletes in our sport - and of our sport overall - is welcoming and without obstacles. In a recent listen with a Boston Marathon champion, I found myself surprised at the range of conversation and the broad array of topics which resonated both with the listener and the guest.
“The infrastructure of the podcast is innately human, and that's why it works. I have been a repeat guest, and both of our conversations were not built around the intricacies of running as a sport, but rather a medium through which one tells a human story. Dominic applies to his conversations a rigid curiosity, and this curiosity in turn produces intimate conversation. A tricky skill, I'll stress. I'm not particularly fond of podcasts; I believe conversation - true conversation - is sacred, and the majority of podcasts today have no regard for the sanctity that manifests between two people who truly converse. But in my personal experience, having now been on the show twice, Dominic cares to connect more than he does to deliver, and for this I can give true and deserved praise.
“The Running Effect is a podcast that inspires runners at every age and stage of their own unique journey. Dominic asks the questions that allow listeners to relate to podcast guests and get to know them on a deeper level. From the conversations he has on his podcast, blossom nuggets of wisdom that can be applied across many situations in life.
“I had a great time joining Dominic on the TRE Podcast for a conversation about fueling, performance, and helping runners build a healthier relationship with food. Dominic keeps the conversation interesting while making the guests feel comfortable. I appreciated having a space to share these important topics with the running community.
“In 2020 Dominic was a high school freshman who emailed me about my podcast and mentioned he was thinking about starting his own show. He's since built The Running Effect into one of the most listened-to running podcasts in the world, and sitting down with him this spring was a genuine full-circle moment. Dominic is a curious, thoughtful interviewer who isn't afraid to ask the questions he wants to ask. Over 70 minutes we covered everything from training philosophy to some of the harder, more personal stuff most people tend to avoid. If you care about the sport and how being involved in it can change your life, Dominic's got the goods.
“Dom is creating something really special with TRE. After being on his podcast twice now, I can attest to his professionalism, his intention, and his thoroughness in ensuring that he is bringing the best of the best to his audience. As a guest on the show, and an avid listener, you're going to want to subscribe to make that drive to work, that long run, or that lunch gym session that much sweeter; it's the TRE effect.
“Being interviewed by Dominic on The Running Effect was one of the best experiences of my career doing media. His preparation going in was obvious - he clearly does the homework, and it shows in the depth and quality of his questions. That same knowledge and genuine joy for the sport are exactly why he pulls the biggest names in running onto his podcast. Creative, professional, and simply one of the best interviewers I've worked with.
“I usually do 1 or 2 podcasts a year after the track season and last year I sat down with Dominic on The Running Effect. His podcast is always positive but informative and gives a good insight into the guests. He was super easy to schedule and I enjoyed the session as it helped me reflect on many subjects over the years and my own running journey from athlete to coach to dad of aspiring young athletes.
“The Running Effect is bringing visibility to the world of track and field like never before!! Dom has a unique ability to connect deeply with his guests while bringing the running community together through honest and meaningful conversations. I've been incredibly blessed by Dom's friendship, and his passion for building a platform where people feel seen, heard, and valued continues to inspire me. He is constantly challenging himself to be the best he can be for others and by that he is seeing the fruit of his ability to grow and trust.
