Angus Maxfield
Founder, Jumeirah Johns Running Club
Angus Maxfield is the co-founder of Jumeirah Johns Running Club (JJRC), one of Dubai's most social and fastest-growing running communities, built on the simple idea that no one gets left behind. What started in 2022 as a WhatsApp group of friends walking Kite Beach before work has grown into a movement thousands strong - one built less around pace times and more around connection, showing up, and turning a Sunday run into a genuine community. On Decoding Wisdom, Angus goes past the running club story to talk about what it means to rebuild yourself after life breaks you open - grief, growth, and the years of risk and failure that your 20s and 30s are actually for, and why protecting your own authenticity is what makes reinvention possible at all.
