Nicole Spencer has built a life around movement—not just as a runner, but as a nonprofit leader, coach, and now founder of Apex Strategy Partners. In this episode, she shares how a simple love of running became a tool for healing, leadership, and impact.

From organizing a 275-mile relay from Ground Zero to Cape Cod, to raising hundreds of thousands for veterans, to helping small organizations find their footing—Nicole shows us what it means to lead with heart. Her story is a reminder that in a noisy, complex world, purpose doesn’t have to be complicated.

Sometimes it just starts with putting on your shoes and walking out the door.
