This week on Episode 115 of The Aid Station, presented by njuko, we travel to Barcelona, Spain for an insightful conversation with Alexandros Tanti. Alex wears two hats as Co-Founder of RaceCheck, an online platform that helps recreational athletes find and evaluate endurance sports events around the world as well as being Chief Product Officer at Super League Triathlon. Lots of inspiring and valuable insights in the discussion including:
- The power of persistence - "working out" Chris McCormack's email address and constantly following up with him
- Jumping on a plane to meet Chris and pitch to him during his 2hour airport layover which ultimately led to Super League Triathlon investing in RaceCheck
- How having an aligned and engaged team driven by purpose enabled RaceCheck to survive some massively challenging times during COVID
- Trends that Alex and his team are seeing in the industry
- The value of the huge amount of development work that was done during the pandemic in providing a launch pad for when events returned
