Geoff is the founder of the CrossFit Legal Action Group and discusses what are the details that affiliate owners should be thinking about when signing a lease, renewing a lease or negotiating a lease.

252. Black Lives Matter
Ackerman and Fern are taking this topic on with full force. We recorded today's episode before the events from Saturday and Sunday, but this is still very relevant. We invited two black affiliate owners, Cameron Brown owner of CrossFit HCS and Brian Lowe owner of CrossFit Invulnerable, as well as Holly Small a CrossFit L1 Trainer to talk about the state of the country as well as CrossFit HQ.
This is perhaps the most important show we've recorded.
We just want to open this conversation, so please, email us, text us, dm us, but help us help be a part of the solution.
