Over the last several weeks, I’ve received a ton of really great questions from people like you – my amazing listeners and social media followers.

And while being able to connect and interact with people on social media is great – sometimes it’s difficult to provide longer, well thought-out responses.

That’s why I love taking a moment to answer your most pressing questions in these BIG Q&A episodes.

In today’s episode, I answer eight questions I recently received from my Instagram followers.

We start by talking about the benefits of getting certifications like the CSCS, and explain why I believe certifications do not automatically make you a phenomenal coach.

I explain how I got started with video production and how to take your video content to the next level.

I highlight the benefits of working as an independent contractor and explain the importance of finding a working environment that allows you to try new things and learn from your mistakes.

I dive deep into how I determine which cues to use with our IFAST clients to achieve the best results for their unique needs.

I also explain why it’s crucial to regularly analyze your clients progress, how to determine when it’s time to refer a client to another trainer, and what to look for when searching for a mentor or business consultant.

And last but not least, I talk about when it’s okay to use the Belt Buckle Up cue with your clients, and why you should refrain from using it with someone that presents a swayback posture.
