#16 - Donnie Jellig

In today’s episode, I talk to Donnie Jellig, the founder of Oasis, a running apparel company based in New Jersey. Oasis hopes to bring a fresh perspective to the running apparel world, by focusing on empowering runners, by approaching clothing as something that represents an athlete themself. 

A few months ago, I was scrolling through Instagram and saw that a bunch of runners I followed were reposting something from the Oasis account. After looking through the posts and hearing a little more about Oasis on the episode with Collin and Brian Boler, I knew we had to hear the full story. In this episode, we talk about the origins and mission of Oasis, the behind the scenes of the company, their involvement in trying to assemble one of the biggest NJ track meets later this month, and much more. Hope you enjoy!
