Leadership values, coaching methodology, and what it takes to build and maintain a strong brand. There are plenty of podcasts about all the technical stuff around training and nutrition, but not too much about the strategy and mindset that goes into creating a successful platform within the industry. Jeff, Jason, and I may not know it all nor are any of us the most successful out there but we’ve learned a trick or two in our experiences growing each of our own businesses. The Excellence Cartel is a sneak peak into our brains, the wackiness that goes on inside, and the greatness we each hope to inspire in all of YOU. Enjoy!
