Podcast 54: DAVID MONTI
Editor and Publisher of
Race Results Weekly (RRW)

Episode 54 of The Final Sprint Podcast features my interview with Race Results Weekly’s (RRW) David Monti.

David serves as both the Editor and Publisher of RRW, is a professional athletes consultant, and a highly respected member of the running community. He has also been published in Runner’s World and Running Times, does consulting for the NYRR and has similarly assisted NBC Sports and several marathon race directors, worked with NBC Sports on their broadcasting efforts at the 1996, 2000 and 2004
Olympics, and used to compete as a NCAA Division I Gymnast.

In the interview David talks about how RRW got started and evolved, what the service offers, and his decision to take a tremendous (but ultimately worthwhile) risk and quit his job as V.P. at Citibank to run RRW full-time.

Download the podcast to hear David discuss these topics, as well as, the greatest moments that he has experienced and observed during his career as a running journalist, funny stories from his personal interaction with elite athletes, and the importance of loving your job and pursuing your dreams.
