episode 074: Nick Lo

Author: with May Globus December 14, 2022 Duration: 1:39:34
Nick Lo is an entrepreneur to his core, with an introspective nature that is sometimes atypical of a hard-driving polymath hustler. He’s accomplished, no doubt: a physiotherapist, founder of Physio Room, part of the original Myodetox team (formerly COO and now a senior advisor), cofounder of web3 creative studio Oddfutur3, and cofounder of global running community & platform Run As You Are (RAYA). He was born and raised in East Vancouver, the younger of two sons to immigrant Chinese parents. His father and uncles owned and operated a grocery store in the West End, where Nick spent weekends and summers working there. It’s easy to see where his entrepreneurial spirit comes from—his hardworking father never took vacation and spent any time-off taking him to other grocery stores to look at pricing and packaging. Nick did his Bachelor of Science at the University of British Columbia, then completed a Master in Physiotherapy in 2006. Five years later, he founded Physio Room and began blazing his path in the health & well-being space. In this conversation, we explore how love was expressed in his family; what the time he spent as a child with his father meant to him; his introverted nature; how entrepreneurship & selling your vision can be a lonely road; one’s personal brand in a performative culture; his human-centred approach to physiotherapy; why he entered web3 and what he’s observing about the space; the things he loves about running and the global community around it; the one things he loves about watching his son develop into a little human; loving words for his father; and much more. Please enjoy this very personal conversation with the genuinely kind, forward-thinking, and self-reflective Nick Lo. Much love, May

There’s a particular texture to a life built around creating something meaningful, whether that’s a business, a work of art, or a new path forward. The Craft with May Globus pulls back the curtain on those lives through unhurried, intimate dialogues. May sits down with a diverse range of creators, founders, and pioneers, but the focus here is less on glossy success stories and more on the raw material of their journeys. You’ll hear the nuances of their creative process, the pivotal moments in their personal backstory, and how their philosophy shapes their daily existence. It’s an ongoing exploration of the shared humanity behind different kinds of work. What makes this podcast uniquely immersive is its commitment to being an audio-visual experience. Each conversation is accompanied by rich, editorial-style photography that provides a deeper, more sensory connection to the guest and their world. Think of it like a beautifully composed magazine feature that you can listen to, where the images and the dialogue work in concert. Tuning into this podcast feels like gaining quiet, privileged access to the minds of people who are thoughtfully shaping culture, one idea at a time.
