WTF Gym Talk

This podcast discusses the drawbacks of seeking permission and approval from others before making decisions. It emphasizes the value of trusting one's gut and promoting forgiveness. It explores the fear of failure in business decision-making and highlights the importance of seeking help from professionals. The podcast also emphasizes taking ownership of business decisions and playing the long game without seeking validation from others.

Brandon Cullen is another one of my signature speakers at the SELF MADE SUMMIT and he's been on this podcast before. He started as a CrossFit affiliate owner...envisioned a better way to do group training and went all in on it. Now him and his partner Kirk have built a model that is 10 franchises deep and just partnered with a company that will help take them to 20+ locations over the next several years. These guys know a thing or two about creating something that's actually unique and I hope you'll be there on Oct 19th/20th to hear their full story and find out how you can turn your burning idea into a reality.  If you haven't grabbed your tickets to the SELF MADE SUMMIT yet - you better do so before this shit is sold out! 

Haven't you heard?  

Eli Slossberg owns MDI Apparel, a company hell bent on making your microgym brand come to life via retail items.  And this is exactly why I asked him to come to SELF MADE SUMMIT on October 19th/20th. Creating welcome boxes/bags Dope apparel designs that your members WANT to buy And understanding that your logo needs to be scalable to multiple sizes and retail varieties are all the things that Eli knows better than most and is going to be talking to owners about at the SELF MADE SUMMIT. If you haven't pickup your tickets yet - do it now before we sell out! 

The CrossFit Games occurred a few weekends back...and that brings up an interesting observation for me...

Mike Jones is one of the signature speakers at the SELF MADE SUMMIT that is going down in Charlotte, NC on Oct 19/20th this year. Mike owned several very successful CrossFit affiliates in MN and then had a vision for a new workout style that nobody had exploited yet.   So he went all in on this new venture (Alchemy 365) and they have had nothing but rapid growth over the past several years. Mike will be sharing with you the deep dive into how he went through this creative process, built a new class that turned into a new business model and has scaled it to over 6 locations in two states thus far - with plenty more in the future. If you haven't listened to my first podcast with Mike - here it is.   And if you're not signed up for the SELF MADE SUMMIT - do it here before tickets are sold out! 

I stay out of this topic 99% of the time...

While I still work microgym owners to help un-fuck their business, I've been taking on more and more personal brand development clients and I thought I'd share some of my thoughts when it comes to developing a "personal brand"

When was the last time the other gurus made content on this?   I'll wait.... Exactly... Enjoy. 

Before we can make a sale, we need to have someone attention.   Before we get their attention, we need to craft a message that is educational or entertaining to them. Before we craft that message, we have to be educated or entertaining... You get the idea.  Enjoy.
