Episode 129: Todd Aydelotte: A Historical UltraRunner…tracing history on foot Jul 06, 2022

Show notes

Some people run to clear their minds, others for fitness…there are so many reasons to run (or not), but have you heard of “historical ultra running?” In this episode you meet Todd Aydelotte is an ultrarunner and race director living in New York City. Todd’s unique approach to running long distances, historical ultrarunning, has been covered by media outlets all over the world. Todd has completed numerous 40, 50 and 80 mile runs to trace unique historical events and personalities — whether Edgar Allen Poe, Teddy Roosevelt, Walt Whitman, and others.

This episode specifically looks at the only underground urban chase, which started in 2019 when Todd staged his first underground group run, the first-ever The Warriors UltraRun, which has now grown into one of the world’s largest events for fans of the iconic cult film by Walter Hill. We dive deep into that movie and more, especially since one of the Illuminate co-hosts, Emmy, will be participating in it this July. From fantasy runs to incredible history, the episode ends with a new course Todd made in 2021 when he founded the NYC Black History 50, a 50-mile run that takes runners across all five boroughs in a single day, where they can participate in live historical experiences.

Listen to learn what can happen when you deliberately cross running with experiences, especially history.

Episode 123: Shiri Reuveni-Ullrich – Founder of Rising Above Bakery Apr 13, 2022

Show notes

Shiri Reuveni-Ullrich is the founder of Rising Above Bakery in New York. Shiri is a speech therapist and an avid baker and noticed the dramatic effect that baking cookies had on her nonverbal, autistic young adult students. The kitchen filled with chatter, singing, laughter, and verbalizing as students became more comfortable with the work. At that moment, she knew that a bakery must be created to help individuals with disabilities find their voice and live meaningful, independent lives.

Now, Rising Above Bakery sets out to help develop independent, empowered bakers who possess the skills and self-confidence needed to live independent, fulfilling lives. They are hoping to open a storefront to further develop their vision.

Episode 122: Amie Kurian and Third Monday in April Mar 30, 2022

Show notes

Let’s celebrate Women’s History Month by highlighting a woman-owned business, Third Monday in April and creator Amie Kurian. Amie is the Founder and Designer of Third Monday in April, which is an online run shop created to spread the joy of running and grounded in the belief that running should be a path open to all. She proudly claims her company seeks to put “equality running gear into the world, with a side of Boston” (as in the Boston Marathon!).

With over 20 years of designing and over 20 marathons under her belt, Amie has declared Third Monday in April her dream job. You might find her sketching new shirt ideas on the shower door, obsessing over fabric samples – all while wondering, once and for all, how many “last marathons” can one person do?

In this episode we talk about how the business got started, the “why” that is even bigger than her original dream, and she shares some incredible insider stories behind Third Monday in April’s Collections. As Amie says, “there are 100 reasons not to do it…” so forget those excuses and enjoy this episode as we illuminate Third Monday in April’s incredible story.

This episode was hosted by Emmy (@dremmyb).
