Adam Tar x CrossFit North Port
I've had the pleasure of working with Adam for awhile now and I can honestly say that while Adam is still working hard everyday to bring his business to his desired level of success - the guy has become deadly with his eye for quality video content.
Adam has recently purchased his building and in addition has been on a video content mission to bring his brand to life - and he's done a hell of a job.
CrossFit HQ recently added to the virality that his homegrown videos have already obtained by sharing it on their handles - if you haven't seen Stacy's Story - you need to.
Adam and I jam on buying a building and building organic video content, who to look for in a videographer and the story making process that he uses .
Enjoy!

Shawn Rider x The Relentless Pursuit of You
Shawn Rider is a microgym owner whom you may already be familiar with....
His organic social media game is on-point and you can typically find his musings on Instagram to be quite helpful for running a successful business.
However, Shawn has taken on a new challenge - becoming an author....and he's done a damn fine job at it.
Shawn and I jam on the 6 pillars he discusses in this book that anyone can use to live a better life, grow a better business or love themself a little bit more.

Elevate x Nicole Race
Want to see some gorgeous branding? Go to www.elevatestpete.fit and see what Nicole Race has done with her microgym.
Started in a very similar fashion as many of us, became a CrossFit affiliate, decided her brand has different vision - so she rebranded, joined the Gym Launch model for a minute until she decided it was time to continue to move in her own direction and I truly think the future is very bright for this owner.
If you want to hear from a strong and successful female microgym owner who has plenty to say about the journey of rebranding, 6 week challenges and how to stand out in a crowded market, this is for you.

The Plural of Anecdote Is Not Data
Anecdotal data from your members, staff, family and friends or even a well-known business coach needs to be strongly analyzed first before it can be claimed as data.

Joe and I hit the podcast again to jam on cyber bullying, why using your member feedback isn't always the best idea and a bunch of other witty shit that I can't remember right now cause I've been drinking.

Jon Gilson x Project X
I had the pleasure of having one of the original OGs on the podcast for a LIVE recording - Jon Gilson.
Jon is one of the first guys to pioneer into making business content for the microgym owner and has since had quite the interesting journey working with several different companies, consulting with gym owners and is now currently documenting his work via his Project X blog.

Stephen Hitt x Beats Rx
Stephen Hitt is a successful microgym owner out of Seattle, WA with his Industrious brand facilities (2 locations currently). However, he has been pretty busy working on a side project that has some serious legs in my opinion.
I've been talking about the need for better music experiences for years now and have had the pleasure of advising other groups in this same pursuit - but Stephen has actually put together a subscription service to address this exact issue.
I present to you, Beats Rx.

SELF MADE SUMMIT Oct 19th/20th
This has been a long time coming, but I'm proud to be able to provide this event for the microgym industry.
Business conferences and summits are great - but a hyper specific event that is focused on those micro gyms who have the desire to develop a brand bigger + more unique than the one they may have been developing is my goal.
I've gathered the best micro gyms in the industry who started off as CrossFit affiliates...
...realized they had their own ideas that needed their own identity...
....and they fucking made it happen.
The SELF MADE SUMMIT is Oct 19th + 20th 2019.
All the details are here.
Buy your tickets before they sell out!
