hello and welcome to Runners only with dom Harvey uh as you can see in the background that's my logo for the
00:00:07
podcast Runners only with dom Harvey that was launched oh come on never work with children or animals come
00:00:16
on as you can see in the background it's the logo for my podcast Runners only
00:00:20
with dom Harvey which um I'm this sounds cheesy to say but I'm incredibly proud of the podcast was
00:00:27
launched in March April 2022 at the time I decided to call it Runners only with dom Harvey because
00:00:34
it felt um like the podcast Market was quite congested and it felt like that it was necessary to have a niche and
00:00:42
running something that I'm passionate about I love talking about running I love running I love hanging with other
00:00:47
Runners so it seemed like a perfect fit for a podcast what's happened over the last
00:00:53
um 18 months or so since the podcast launched is it has grown in ways that I could never have foreseen and never have
00:01:02
imagined um the caliber of guests we've had the download numbers the listeners the
00:01:08
feedback everything has just um it's blown me away quite frankly and it's
00:01:13
been overwhelming and one thing I've noticed is that a lot of the guests that
00:01:18
come in um the first thing that they say when we open the conversation is they'll make a
00:01:22
comment about them not being a runner some of these guests include the Mad Butcher John Hart formal black coach
00:01:28
Susie Cato Rachel Hunter the list goes on and on and on so all right and there's messages every other week like
00:01:35
this message from Saucy Susie this is not written with a negative context but have you considered
00:01:42
changing the name of your podcast to remove the runner's only title I I didn't listen at first as I thought it
00:01:47
was related more to running or Sports how wrong I was and how amazing every podcast is imagine
00:01:54
if others out there are like I was Dom you are helping and empowering so many I think you've only just scratched
00:02:02
the surface of your podcast tuning thank you for what you're doing how you're
00:02:06
doing it and for being you so for Saucy Susie and the literally hundreds of other people that have DM
00:02:14
for me I I honestly get at least a couple each week from people saying I'm not a runner I put off listening because
00:02:19
I'm not a runner I don't like running blah blah blah um I thought it's time for a change a
00:02:25
Rebrand this is very exciting Runners only with dom Harvey is no more it is now the Dom Harvey podcast same
00:02:36
guy actually the same content as well the Dom Harvey podcast so what does this mean exactly well to
00:02:43
be honest very little uh not much is going to change it's going to be the same amazing guess
00:02:49
similar sort of conversations to what we've been having and in all honesty my
00:02:53
love of running hasn't hasn't changed so if there's Runners that I'm interested
00:02:58
in that I think have got a great story that is worthy of sharing they'll still
00:03:01
be on the podcast so the motivation for this is potentially broadening it so any guests
00:03:08
that are put off coming on because it is a running podcast will no longer be any
00:03:12
potential listeners that are reluctant to listen because they hate hearing about running maybe it'll rope them in
00:03:17
and potentially some new sponsors as well so it's a very exciting change for
00:03:21
me personally in the podcast uni 18 months in just um a name change a Rebrand if you will and I cannot thank
00:03:28
you guys enough for the support so far and hopefully the support moving forward so Runners only with dom harveyors no
00:03:36
more let us now the Dom Harvey podcast a big change but also very little change and wonderful to have you guys along for
00:03:43
the journey let's go
