Wear Many Hats Episode 19 — Huyen Nguyen — Gold To Green
Hey everyone its rashad and this is Wear Many Hats presented by Dahsar where we talk about your main gig then we talk about your side hustle.
Huyen is a Creative athlete specifically runner and an activist
I met her at the canal street market in New York City while I was at the shop and she ran her podcast and newsletter, Gold To Green. She has interviewed Artist and Designer Victor Roman and many more.
When she bounced out of New York to move back to Berlin I was bummed but months passed and I ran into her while I was out on a run on the Williamsburg Bridge and saw her. It was a moment I won’t forget. Fall of 2019 I went to Berlin, visited her, she was coming from a 18 mile run then made me breakfast. I was like are you tired?
Then she came back to NYC, was running around doing things for the brand District Vision and Nike.
She is the co founder of Wayv Run Collective, and the founder of the Global Woman Run Collective
She is incredible, I think she’s invincible, please welcome Huyen
Can I first say that you got me into running?
I mean, I went thru hell in 2018 with my life but you got me into running. Just about your posts, everything. You and Manny from Office Coffee got me into running. I would never go running if it wasn’t for the community of runners who push themself
You know you’re always smiling when you run and i’m definitely always serious.
Gold to Green
Gold to green started on a blogspot so you know that shits gold
Wayv Run Collective
Congrats on the Wayv Run Collective article for High Snob!
When I clicked on the link and saw everyone was in blue denim i was like oh wait somethings up. It was a shoot for Ralph Lauren that’s cool. I’m glad that you guys were able to talk about how you guys met, how the collective started.
“She does the work” you really do, and stylish as hell, you really are.
All your fits are hella nice. You rock it really well even when i gave you that croissant when you beat from running around doing your thing

You were part of the projectmoonshot nike nyc campaign that was so sick and was plastered everywhere downtown. I loved it.
