  My guest today, Robin Arzone, kind of knew she wanted to be a lawyer since she was ten years old.

• 00:09

  She went to NYU undergrad Villanova law, landed a job at a top firm in New York, where she practiced for seven years.

• 00:16

  But along the way, a series of events would profoundly change her path.

• 00:21

  While still in undergrad, she actually found herself being held at gunpoint in the middle of a standoff with police.

• 00:26

  And that moment really shook her.

• 00:28

  And she found herself, much to her surprise, turning to running as a way to both process the trauma and reclaim her power.

• 00:35

  And what began as a two mile jog to school after a largely sedentary life, it turned into a deep passion for movement and running, especially at night in the city, with a sort of a fitness counterculture group of friends taking on, eventually marathons and then ultra marathons.

• 00:51

  And this passion would eventually lead her out of the law, into the world of fitness and media, teaching, activism, and even to writing a New York Times bestselling book called shut up and run about her philosophy of movement and life.

• 01:04

  And that running also expanded to fitness, indoor cycling, and business, where she's found a home as a teacher and vice president of fitness programming and head instructor at Peloton, and also as a brand ambassador for some of the world's top fitness brands.

  So excited to share Robin's amazing journey and energy with you.

  I'm Jonathan Fields, and this is good life project.

  Were you the type of kid, whereas, like, you kind of saw parents as a doctor and a lawyer, you kind of, like, always assumed that was part of your path or not so much?

• 01:43

  Well, it's interesting because I view kind of the classic american dream through their work ethic and their narrative.

• 01:51

  So they.

• 01:52

  My mother is from Cuba, my father is from Puerto Rico, and so I literally saw them rebuild themselves.

• 01:58

  My mother tells the story about how she taught herself English watching PBS and Sesame street at the age of 14.

• 02:04

  So witnessing that and then seeing them succeed, it was like I understood the narrative of the hard work and creating yourself from a really young age.

• 02:12

  And then I just assumed, like, if they can do that, I can do that, too.

• 02:15

  And I have to.

• 02:17

  I felt not pressure.
