Episode 51: Caspar Coppetti - A co-founder tells how to start a new running shoe company

The competition is intense - how do you start a new running shoe company, and be successful?

"My friend gave me a prototype, and I said, 'forget it, don't even try, you'll never succeed against the big shoe company's. But then I tried them on."
 

"We typically don't talk about the product, we just ask people to try them, and that's what comes back: 'Running on clouds.'"
 

This is a fun discussion with the co-owner of an international running shoe company - get the inside scoop on how this all works.

The "Nasties" are routes in Forest Park, Portland.  Description from https://sites.google.com/site/runs4cache/: "Whereas Wildwood Trail is relatively flat and easy to follow, the "Nasties" are not. They were designed by a mysterious Portland trail runner for hilly off-season training while the volcanoes and high trails of the northwest are under snow and ice. It's believed he also has an intention to increase the suffering in the world."
