Episode 16 - Shannan Gove, Co-Founder and Director, Rosterfy - a podcast by Mass Participation World

In today's edition of The Aid Station, we travel to Geelong, not far  from Melbourne in Australia to meet Shannan Gove, Co-Founder and  Director of Rosterfy.



Shannan's  story probably mirrors that of many in the Mass Participation industry -  starting out as a volunteer and going on to build a career positively  impacting the lives of millions.



He shares the journey which  started by "getting a handful of uni students to volunteer on the  Melbourne Marathon" and has turned into a global business that that  helps the likes of Spartan, Super Bowl and London Marathon recruit train  and deploy huge volunteer workforces.



His positive attitude  and ability to see the opportunities in these times shines through at  every stage. One of his key tips is "don't be too harsh on yourself, do  the best you can but enjoy the time with your family or take time for  yourself" In his case that includes spending time with his seven month  old daughter Evie.



One of his top priorities is being in  regular contact with and supporting his staff and clients. "People  remember the way you make them feel when things are tough - not just in  the good times".
