Best Hour of Their Day | Podcast

Todd and Fern discuss the nuances of evaluating a good coach and evaluating the member experience.  Every gym touts their "Coaching and Community".  it doesn't mean anything unless we measure and define it.  In this episode they discuss some measurable aspects of "presence and attitude" of the 6 criteria covered in the CFL2 course.  This one is important to thinking about, identify, quantify and measure.

Recently Ackerman made the bold statement that if you're not pursuing higher credentials and furthering your education, you shouldn't be allowed to coach.  In this episode, we dive into that and talk about why continuing education is important, how to prepare for your L2 and L3, and other courses we recommend.

In today's episode we remove any stigmas and explain that anyone can take their CrossFit L1 Seminar.

Ackerman chats with Marc Reklau for a second time.  Jason first heard of Marc through his awesome book, "The Life-Changing Power of Gratitude" and was an instant fan.  They have stayed in touch over the last year and Jason often refers to Marc has someone that gets him excited about life and had a profound impact on his own gratitude practice as well as creating new habits.  You'll understand why Jason finds Marc so inspiring as you listen to this candid conversation.
