There’s a seismic shift in potential when a business’s customers start thinking of themselves as a community, united around an organization that enables their potential. How can anyone from a start up to a legacy business make the leap?
John Stanton shares how his 1984 desire to pick up some quality running shoes from a knowledgeable salesperson grew into an international community – and how a renovated living room of an old house in Edmonton (hence the “Running Room”) has expanded to over 117 locations across Canada and the United States.
