Physical Preparation Podcast Archives - Robertson Training Systems Dan Uyemura on Scaling Your Business, North-Star Metrics, and Making Sales Easy
I think I know the answer to this question, but I’m going to ask anyway…
…have you ever built a business that’s worth $100m?
I can tell you for a fact that I have not – but I definitely want to talk to the man or woman who HAS!
Which is why I’m so excited to have Dan Uyemura on today’s podcast, where we can all learn from the business and leadership lessons he’s learned along the way.
Dan is an entrepreneur on a wild roller coaster ride. From childhood hustles with paper routes and brownie stands to college days amidst the internet explosion, Dan’s entrepreneurial spirit has always burned bright.
After losing his job at Myspace, a glimmer of hope emerged. Helping a friend open a gym sparked a revelation. The clunky software plaguing the fitness industry needed a revolution. Dan seized the opportunity with his severance, crafting sleek, user-friendly software for small gym owners.
And in this episode, we’re going to dive in and talk about how to become a more successful business person in fitness – whether you’re selling sessions or own and operate your own gym!
This is a really oversimplification of business, but if you’re obsessed with your customers pains, things in the long run will work out. – Dan Uyemura
This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast:
- How losing his job at MySpace got Dan started on his journey in the physical prep space.
