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.

JP x Brick Fitness
This fucking guy is one my favorites.
I've been a fan of his from afar for years and then to find out he low-key fucks with my content was a surreal moment for me.
We've been balls deep in each other's DM's for a minute but we finally got to meet at the Iron+Mortar Summit in Portland and our jam sesh was documented for your pleasure.

Talking To Myself - Ep. 02
We don't have THE answer ready to go for you.
I wasn't given permission to speak on behalf of any of these guys, but I did so anyway.
Anyone who is in the space of providing business coaching services to microgym owners + anyone who is seeking out their advice needs to listen to shit.

Morgan Barden x Project Lean Nation
Morgan is from Rochester, NY....which would typically place him in a category of high probability that he'd be a douche bag.
But he's literally the antithesis of a douchebag. He's an awesome dude, extremely enthusiastic and the embodiment of personal core values that more of us probably wish we had.
Morgan shares his journey of working for PLN for the past 6 years, his view of the current client experience inside of microgyms and gets in-depth on a health setback that ended up in what can only be described as a miracle.
Questions for Morgan? Hit him up at @morgainz10
