Warren King - From Corporate Life to Trail Run Entrepreneurship

"For the first time in my life, I have created something out of nothing. And here are 500 people who have come and are just having a ball. And the joy and the happiness and the stress and the drama and the excitement and everything else was just fantastic. "
These are the words of Warren King after organizing his very first Run The Berg Trail Run Event in the Northern Drakensberg. Warren pivoted from Corporate Investment Guru at Investec to Trail Run Entrepreneur in 2010.
Does he regret his decision to leave a cushy corporate position?
Are there too many trail runs in South Africa at the moment?
What advice does he have for entrepreneurs who want to start their own event?
What changes does Warren want to make within the next 3 - 5 Years?
And many more.
