95. Keri Blunt, Goodr's VP of Everything

" I learned to get paid to do what I loved and enjoyed doing." —Keri Blunt Keri Blunt is the VP of Everything at Goodr , the sunglasses company that has taken over the running world. But Keri's goal wasn't always (or ever) to work in the running industry. Her original plan — after graduating high school valedictorian at 16 years old — was to become a doctor. She went to college, where she double majored in molecular, cellular, and developmental biology and English literature — and realized her actual passions along the way. Today, Keri splits her time between overseeing content at Goodr and being a dancer, actor, and comedic rapper. Thank you to AfterShokz for sponsoring this episode of the Ali on the Run Show!
