Rough Hands Culture Ep. 3: Culture Guardianship, feat. Jesse Walker

In the third and final episode of Rough Hands Culture, Jesse Walker emphasizes the critical role of culture guardianship in gyms. Topics include: the need for all community members to actively protect the gym's culture, clearly communicating expectations to new students, encouraging a supportive atmosphere where senior members nurture newcomers, documenting cultural elements for effective onboarding, decentralizing culture enforcement, empowering every member to address cultural issues collaboratively, the evolving nature of gym culture, explicit communication regarding cultural expectations, protocols for addressing cultural infractions, and emphasizing the importance of immediate engagement and open dialogue.
