“I think college is great when you’re going into a career where you need college, where if you want to be a doctor or an attorney you need a degree. But if you don’t, I think there are a lot of other opportunities worthy of pursuing today.” (13:39) (Todd)
“My department started to thrive and now my department was growing by leaps and bounds. My department became the poster child for the entire company. And it was right around the time when I was on top that I thought I want to share with other folks outside of the fitness industry what it is that I learned inside these clubs.” (26:44) (Todd)
“I think that, as always, in every market different gets attention. Better doesn’t always get attention. Different gets attention.” (31:25) (Todd)
“The heart and soul of marketing is ultimately when you turn a prospect’s desire for a result, for an outcome, for a change, for a transformation, into demand for your product or service before you even talk about your product or service.” (36:40) (Todd)
“When I teach, when I coach, when I guide I always tell people, ‘I’m gonna treat your business like it’s my own. I’m not gonna tell you the things you want to hear. I’m gonna tell you the things you need to hear.’” (45:42) (Todd)
“Live a life of authenticity. Be who you are. Be you. Do you. Live your life. You want to dress a certain way? Do your thing. Don’t try to fit in. If you’ve got an opinion or feeling, be you. And let that authentic you, that real you, shine through and shine through always.” (51:00) (Todd)
