Ryan Blair, one of the OGs of trail running in Asia, takes us on a wild ride through his journey. From organizing adventure races in the 90s to building Asia’s first professional trail running team, Ryan shares how he turned passion into purpose. Whether it’s pulling off events against all odds or fighting for better opportunities for Asian athletes, Ryan’s been at the heart of it all. He talks about Sunmaya Buddha, his star runner from Nepal, whose story is as gritty as her racing. Ryan doesn’t hold back on the challenges—like the lack of prize money and global recognition for athletes from the region—but he’s all about creating change. This episode is packed with honesty, history, and a whole lot of heart, straight from someone who’s been in the trenches (and on the trails) for decades.

In this episode, Joao Andrade, co-founder of One Hundred Group, discusses his remarkable journey from biotech and health tech entrepreneurship to launching a global trail running series. Joao opens up about two life-changing incidents: a bout with dengue fever and a heart arrhythmia during a trail race in Italy, which led him to reevaluate his fast-paced lifestyle. These experiences, he explains, were pivotal in shifting his approach to business and life, emphasizing the importance of balance and intuition.

Joao details the vision behind One Hundred Group—a global championship for ultra-endurance athletes, focusing on 100-mile, 200-mile, and 100K distances. He contrasts his top-down approach of launching an international series with the organic growth of other race organizations like UTMB. Joao also reflects on his experience pitching on Dragon’s Den, where he secured investment, and the challenges of securing venture capital in a post-pandemic world.

The episode offers insight into balancing entrepreneurship and endurance sports, with Joao sharing lessons on resilience, overcoming challenges, and his plans to elevate trail running to a global stage. His passion for both business and running drives the conversation.
