1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Before it was a sport, running was simply part of life. For Dustin Martin, a proud member of the Navajo (Diné) Nation, that truth runs deep and it set him on a path that wound through Division I competition and the halls of Columbia University before bringing him back to where it all began. Because coming back is the part that matters most. Back to the Southwest, back to the young people who need what he once needed, and back to Wings of America, the organization that helped shape who he is. Now serving as Chief Visionary Officer, Dustin sits down with Mau Díaz to talk about the long road that led him here, and the road still ahead. It's a conversation about what running carries when it's tied to land, to identity and to survival. About building programs that don't just develop athletes, but grow leaders. Wings of America exists to put running in the hands of Native youth, not as a path to scholarships or podiums, but as a practice rooted in health, identity, and pride. Dustin has spent fifteen years making sure that mission stays alive and grows. In this conversation he talks about where he comes from, what running means in Indigenous communities, and what it looks like to build something that truly belongs to the people it serves. &amp;nbsp; Beyond Running https://www.spreaker.com/show/beyond-running-aire-libre <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/42095245/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/content/204126905
