Nick Thompson | The Atlantic CEO & 50k Age-Group Record Holder

Nick Thompson | The Atlantic CEO & 50k Age-Group Record Holder

Nick Thompson is the CEO of The Atlantic, the famous American magazine and digital publisher founded in 1857. Before that, Nick was an Editor at both Wired and The New Yorker, developing a reputation for his great reporting, unique perspectives, and impactful stories across a range of subject matter.

In addition to his amazing professional career, Nick has also been a committed runner for life, a talented marathon runner, who is now dabbling in trail and ultrarunning. Back in 2021, Nick set an age group American record for 50k running 3:04, famously at the same time that Des Linden broke the Women's world record at the distance. Now, Nick is experimenting with trail and ultra running, doing a few 50 milers and a 100k, with at least some curiosity about the 100 mile distance. I've been a massive admirer of Nick's for a while. A media guy who is also a runner, Nick is an inspiration for me and I'm honored to have him on the show.
