A Punk Salon with Nicholas Thompson

​On March 19th, Punks & Pinstripes hosts Nicholas Thompson, CEO of The Atlantic, in conversation about his new book, The Running Ground.

​The book traces two intertwined forces in his life: a complicated father, and running - the sport they both loved.

​We’ll explore how his relationship with running and his Dad shaped the journalist and leader he became.

​We’ll go into the unresolved emotional intensity that so often lingers beneath the surface for the most accomplished leaders.

​It’s a conversation about drive — where it comes from, what it costs, and what it builds.

​This Salon will include:

• ​​A fireside chat with Nicholas 

• ​​A “Help a Punk” break out group session 

• ​​A community of peers who aren’t chasing titles—they’re building meaningful second act

• ​​Wine, light bites, set in a casual and conversational environment

​​Location: The Peter Tunney Experience
Address: 83 Leonard St, New York, NY 10013
