In the newly revamped segment of I May Be Wrong But I Doubt It - a podcast where I debate individuals on various topics within the fitness industry, And on this episode,  I've got my friend and colleague Sean Pastuch, founder of Active Life Rx, to come on as we debate my stance that fitness professionals need to embrace the idea of being the BEST GENERALIST, that being the 'best coach you can be' is a probably a big waste of your time - depending on where you are on your business journey. Sean respectfully disagrees with several of my core tenants here and we're gonna get into a healthy debate and unpack this topic, so sit back, relax and watch how two ridiculously good looking and intelligent humans can disagree with one another, and still be friends.

TikTok is all about lip syncing to pop songs and dancing like an asshole in front of your camera, right? Yes...and no. Regardless of whether you want to believe it or not, there are individuals who make their sole living on TikTok and they make more money than you...with their fucking phone. No lease...no service...no product - they've harnessed the greatest limited resource of all-time, ATTENTION. On today's episode I have a local celebrity in Charlotte, NC - Aaron Dodge - on the podcast to talk about his venture into becoming a personal brand and can microgyms (or any business for that matter) actually make a splash on TikTok to a measurable extent? Check out Aaron on TikTok @aaron_dodge

Ian Smith has been thrusted into the spotlight every since main stream news caught wind of his efforts to save his microgym after the governor of NJ forced his shutdown. While I'm not a political, nor do I use my media to push politics...Ian's story definitely goes there...but I think regardless of whether you like red guys or blue guys, you're going to be fucking amazed at this guy's story.  Follow Ian on Instagram @iansmithfitness 

My dude Jim Crowell is back on the podcast after his recent departure from OPEX, where he was the CEO for a significant period of time and helped grow their license model to ~70 locations worldwide. So I asked Jim to hop on the podcast so we can discuss the various in's & out's of creating a license model...because as I see it...plenty of brands will be going the OPM (other people's money) route, very very soon.

Today's episode will focus on DELIVERING your fitness service, but not in terms of the quality of coaching.  While that's obviously important, it's expected by the market and rarely differentiates you to a first time prospect.  So then how do we think about delivering a service that's unique?   Listen to find out.

I've had the pleasure of jamming with Jason on multiple different occasions, but this time I wanted to breakdown a topic I rarely see him discuss:  the personal brand of Jason Khalipa vs. the enterprise he's built with his microgym, NC Fit.  In this episode I ask Jason some tough questions regarding his dive into developing a personal brand, how it impacted his core business at NC Fit and then we discuss his new license program he rolled out in 2020.  Interested in learning more about the NC Fit Partner program - check it out here.
