Episode 17 - Paco Borao, President, AIMS - a podcast by Mass Participation World

On The Aid Station today we meet AIMS President, Paco Borao In Valencia, Spain, and hear some amazing and inspiring insights from a man who has overcome adversity and contributed so much to running globally.

When we spoke he had already been in lock-down for over six weeks with his wife Victoria and has realised that "I'm much more patient than I thought".

Paco talks about the adversity of the GFC and colon cancer which gave him the opportunity to shift from a corporate role with IBM to his life in running which apart from the AIMS Presidency includes being the Race Director of Valencia Marathon and the opportunity to have "a job which is my passion"

Paco shares the discussions he had at IBM way back in the 90's about "teleworking" and how "sometimes we need to be really pushed to embrace innovation" as COVID-19 has now forced the virtual world into our lives.

He believes that "life is a survival exercise and one of the most important things is making friends. If you have friends you can always ask for help"
