We Interviewed Timm Chiusano | 490

We sat down with Timm Chiusano at the New Balance Run House to talk about his new book, How to Get Addicted to Appreciation. Timm spent 25 years in corporate America, then found an audience making "growing up less scary" on TikTok, and his wife tricked him into his first marathon. We cover burnout, Rolling Stone, the run that taught him "this is just a phase," and his plan to hand out 26.2 copies of the book during the NYC Marathon.
