E23: Should You Work for Free? Pricing, Progress, and the Path to Becoming a Great Coach

In this episode, we break down when (and if) you should train people for free, why pricing yourself right is key, and how experience beats just having "book smarts." We also dive into the balance between sticking to a program and making training enjoyable, plus how exercise selection can make or break your progress. If you’re a coach or lifter struggling with programming, pricing, or staying engaged, this one's for you.
