Solo-cast alert! Jason gets real and vulnerable on today's show. With social media playing the role it does, it's all too easy to begin to compare ourselves or our success to that of others'. Jason highlights how this has affected him as a business owner and provides actionable steps as to how to avoid the comparison game.

Episode 83 | Highs and Lows of Business

"Can I talk to you about the programming?" is probably every coach's and gym owner's worst nightmare of a conversation. Today Jason and NCFIT's Chief Fitness Officer, MDV, tackle the idea of workouts being 'too simple' after receiving workout feedback. Essentially, functional movements all serve a purpose and passing value judgements on them doesn't make the movement any less effective. With well over a decade in the field and countless hours of programming and training under their belts, the two are able to share insight with listeners about intended stimuli of workouts, while lending information that can help coaches and owners work with athletes of all skill levels.

Episode 84 | MDV | Simple Doesn't Mean Easy

Today Jason is sitting down with Business of Fitness veteran and NCFIT Collective Lead, Gabe Yanez. The two discuss how the NCFIT Collective has grown to it's current day success and where it's headed. They lend insight into best business practices, how the tools of the NCFIT Collective have been implemented to save memberships, and how to handle cancellations with grace. Listeners will also get the scoop on big things coming in 2020 for the NCFIT Collective. We couldn't do what we love every day if it wasn't for all of you! Thank you and enjoy the show!

Episode 86 | Josh Everett | Future of Fitness

This episode goes there and hits home; we're talking about the "curse of the unpaid coach." Most of us have been there, right? We work out a 'bro' deal to have a current member or buddy coach a couple classes a week in trade for a free membership. You get some free labor and they get some free fitness, win-win, right? Today's episode breaks down the implications of the bro deal from both a professional and legal standpoint, and will provide a new framework for gym owner and head coaches to operate from. Enjoy!
