My WTF!?! Moments
You know how I came up with the name for this media handle?
I wanted to create solutions to the WTF!?! moments I had as a microgym owner.
So I did.
Then a funny thing happened. I started having my own WTF!?! moments seeing all the stupid shit we do as microgym owners.
So here's a full on monologue about the most frustrating of those moments I've had recently.

Jammin' With Joe Ep. 10
Joe and I come up with a brilliant idea where Shark Tanks meets the SELF MADE SUMMIT, we discuss the two avatars of prospective clients (even though Joe believes there are actually 3 avatars) and Joe makes the commitment to creating his own podcast.

Gymonkee is a tech startup here in Charlotte, NC who is trying to break into the Class Pass market by creating a similar product, but with more favorable features to the microgym owner.
One of the founders stopped by to talk shop - enjoy.

Do It Different
Don't you see what's happening? Can you not see the current pattern and trend that most microgym owners (and perhaps you) have fallen into???

Daniel Hong x Corporate Wellness + Being An Entrepreneurial Technician
Daniel is my dude. He's been a fan of my content for a while and we would always share DMs back and forth regarding different topics.
We finally got to meet in person at the PT First Crash Course that I put on with Sean Pastuch earlier in 2019.
And wouldn't you know....he's not even a microgym owner. He's a coach at NC Fit in California, but he has the vision and forecast to know that he has to become more than that if he wants to continue to chase his ever-growing aspirations for himself.
To the extent that he has developed his own Corporate Wellness clients, performed full presentations for staff/HR and is slowly growing his business....all while taking time to learn from others.
The dude is incredible and I think you're going to get a lot out of this podcast.

Kevin Beamon x Mecka Fitness
Kev used to own a CrossFit gym.
Now he owns a micro-globo-gym.
Seriously, this thing is fucking insane. The pure scale and becoming a multi-option facility with 9+ different types of group classes, 1000 members and scaling option that has nothing but runway...it's a badass interview and I hope you enjoy.

Isaac Vaisberg x Sasquatch Strength + Franchising a CrossFit Microgym
Franchising a CrossFit gym....not common.
We've seen Iron Tribe step up to the plate of creating a repeatable prototype and from what I can see it's not doing great.
But in my research of guys in the microgym scene that are doing it different, Sasquatch stood out to me.
No longer a CrossFit affiliate, Isaac has taken his company to the prototype model that can be repeated anywhere in the country, especially if you already have a CrossFit affiliate and you're looking to rebrand under new leadership.
