443. Is CAP the right direction?

Continuing with our  most recent trend a of having special guests on the podcast, today is no exception. We bring on Cassidy Ballensky, Seminar Staff Member, Level 3 Certified Coach (not quite Level 4), and head of programming at CrossFit Rife, to discuss how valuable CrossFit Affiliate Programming is. Our big takeaway: CAP is a great resource, but at the end of the day, programming is programming is programming.
