About the Event 📋
Our October Fireside Chat features Julie Kheyfets, a fearless leader who embodies what it means to push limits — in sport and in business. As the CEO of Block Renovation, she’s scaling an AI-first platform transforming the $500B home renovation market. As an ultra-runner, she’s completed races few dare attempt — including the 246km Spartathlon in Greece.
This conversation dives into the mental side of endurance: what it takes to keep moving when your body wants to quit, how the lessons from the trail translate to leading high-performance teams, and why curiosity, optimism, and user-obsession are key to both finishing ultras and building lasting companies.
We’ll explore:
The psychological strategies behind completing extreme endurance events
How long-distance running shapes decision-making under pressure
The connection between recovery, leadership, and sustainability
What drives someone to choose “hard” again and again
