Gary Brecka built a global platform around running, using social media to reach millions. He joined the fire service to deepen his desire to help people, which eventually led him to turn his passion for running into a larger purpose of inspiring others worldwide.
I think a lot of people looking from the outside in have got to be thinking, what is this guy.
Running.
From?
Or what is he running towards? How would you answer that?
I always tell people I just really love to run. So I get an incredible amount of joy doing this. And then obviously, social media has become, like, a huge part of my life, and being able to inspire people and change people's lives through my videos has been really rewarding for me. I got into the fire service as a secondary career because I wanted to help people and I wanted to make a difference. And now I have this third sort of career where I'm able to help people internationally on, like, a huge scale, millions of people, because I like to run.
