We hear from a tech platform that helps you get moving!
Today we start with a chat with two founders creating a fitness app for the everyday 'Joes'; a platform to motivate you all year round through friendly, team-based motivation. Then we talk to Hylo Athletics. Returning guest Michael Doughty describes the importance of community as we find out how their trainers (or sneakers if you're in North America) are helping the planet. Whilst we love making the podcast, right now global events have shown how irrelevant what we do really is. If you wish to support the British Red Cross Ukrainian Crisis fund (and have the means to), here is a link to do so: https://bit.ly/3C4pWly
