In this conversation, Carl Paoli and Jim Crowell discuss various topics related to the fitness industry and entrepreneurship. They cover the challenges faced by solo fitness professionals, the importance of finding a unique value proposition, and the metrics to consider for a business of one. They also explore the dynamics of the influencer space and the need to build promotional and owned channels for long-term success. The conversation explores the importance of building a marketing pipeline, the role of partnerships and competitive advantages in business growth, and the characteristics of a great owner-operator. It emphasizes the need for businesses to identify their unique value proposition and target market and the importance of reducing friction and understanding the business model. The conversation concludes by discussing making good investment decisions and the need to check biases. Takeaways Solo fitness professionals should optimize their business based on their current stage and focus on delivering value to their specific audience. Finding a unique value proposition is crucial for success. Narrowing down the target audience and delivering a specialized product or service can generate higher revenue. Metrics such as revenue per hour and product market fit are important for evaluating the performance of a business of one. Scaling a business of one requires careful consideration of the product or service offered and the target audience. Building both promotional and owned channels can lead to long-term success. Having a highly engaged and specific audience is more valuable than a large following in the influencer space. Building an owned channel and delivering a clear message can lead to monetization opportunities. Building a marketing pipeline is crucial for businesses to generate revenue and sell products. Partnerships can provide brand exposure and credibility, but aligning values and goals is important to ensure long-term success. Competitive advantages are unique qualities or assets that set a business apart from its competitors and are difficult to replicate. A great owner-operator can attract and inspire others, understand their business model, and know when to delegate tasks. Businesses should continuously evaluate their decisions, understand their target market, and check biases to make informed choices.

In this podcast episode, Carl Paoli explores the evolution of our species and how we can progress and adapt to changes. He discusses the three aspects of health: performance, life, and the individual, and how understanding individual progress leads to collective improvement. Paoli also talks about the importance of tool-making and resource management and the significance of agriculture in human evolution. The main takeaways from this episode are: Fitness is our ability to meet a standard, breakthrough, and experience growth, which brings a sense of fulfillment and completion that is health. Our ability to define ourselves and adapt to changing environments has allowed us to survive as a species, but it also requires humility and a willingness to acknowledge our limitations. Knowing how behavior affects physical evolution is crucial, as seen in the differences between humans and chimpanzees. Fire was a significant adaptation in human evolution, and the modern-day equivalent could be technology such as Neuralink. Tool making, resource management, and agriculture were crucial adaptations that allowed humans to progress and thrive. https://freestyleconnection.com/insider --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/carlpaoli/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/carlpaoli/support

Dave Durante is a former USA gymnast and current Coach and Entrepreneur in the Fitness space. In this podcast with Carl Paoli, Durante highlighted fundamental gymnastics movements, including creating good shapes, a strong core, and mobility while mastering handstands, rolling, and twisting. He explained how these movements are essential for gymnasts and transferable to general fitness and sports like CrossFit. Dave also dives into his experiences in gymnastics, his love for the sport, his challenges, and how he became the co-owner of Power Monkey Fitness after retiring. Power Monkey Fitness provides training and education for gymnasts and athletes through their camps and online programs. Here are 9 main takeaways from the conversation: Fundamental movements are essential for gymnasts and transferable to general fitness and other sports. Good shapes, strong core, mobility, mastering handstands, rolling, and twisting are fundamental gymnastics movements. CrossFit and functional fitness has exposed gymnastics movements to the general population, allowing them to utilize tools to help with fitness goals. Training towards the highest level version of a movement, not just training towards a standard, facilitates technical progressions and builds towards a deeper understanding of movements. Some athletes are freaks of nature and can perform movements in specific technical ways due to their anatomy or unique abilities, which may not apply to the general population. Exposing people to gymnastics in CrossFit and functional fitness allows for a greater understanding of the sport. The history of sports and its regulations is essential to understand better and appreciate the evolution of the gymnastics applied movements. Although gymnastics is mainly an individual sport, pursuing it as a  team sport is the best route to finding success. When pursuing one's passions with dedication, finding balance in life is crucial to success. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/carlpaoli/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/carlpaoli/support

In this podcast episode, we discuss the often-unacknowledged transition of menopause and its effects on women. My guest, Monika Björn, hit perimenopause in her mid-40s and struggled to find relatable information for women in the middle of their careers. Monika decided to research and write a book about her journey, which included physical and mental symptoms such as joint pain, muscle aches, irregular heartbeats, difficulty sleeping, and anxiety, all commonly experienced by 80-95% of women during menopause. One of the critical topics Monika addresses is the 2002 Women's Health Initiative study, which needed to be revised and revised, leading to a decrease in the use of Hormonal Replacement Therapy (HRT). Monika emphasizes the critical window for HRT being ten years within menopause to prevent hardening of the arteries, and recent studies suggest HRT may also protect against Alzheimer's and Dementia if started when symptoms appear. In her book, Monika sheds light on the different types of HRT, including synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones, and body-identical hormones. She explains why progesterone protects the uterus lining and prevents cancer. Monika encourages women in their 30s to prioritize their lifestyle, build muscle mass, and find stress relief techniques, and in their 40s to continue strength training but adjust intensity, duration, and frequency if necessary. Monika suggests keeping a diary to log symptoms and interventions and acknowledges the concern of rapid weight gain but cautions against trying to combat it with diet and exercise as it may make things worse. Finally, Monika acknowledges the frustration and identity crisis that women may experience during perimenopause but encourages them to know they will regain their full strength, speed, and ability. She stresses the importance of having knowledge and understanding during this time, as everything can be managed with a simple solution that can drastically improve one's experience over the arc of menopause. Takeaways: - Menopause is a transition that affects many women but often goes unacknowledged - 80-95% of women experience physical and mental symptoms during Menopause - HRT can prevent hardening of the arteries if started within ten years of Menopause - HRT may also protect against Alzheimer's and Dementia if started when symptoms appear - Different types of HRT include synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones, and body-identical hormones - Progesterone is essential in protecting the uterus lining and preventing cancer - Women in their 30s should prioritize their life, build muscle mass, and find stress-relief techniques - Women in their 40s should continue strength training but adjust intensity, duration, and frequency if necessary - Keeping a diary to log symptoms and interventions can be helpful - Women may experience frustration and identity crises during perimenopause but can regain strength, speed, and ability. https://www.instagram.com/monikabjorn https://www.instagram.com/starkgenomklimakteriet https://www.starkgenomklimakteriet.se/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/carlpaoli/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/carlpaoli/support

This week's show with Carl Paoli is about building a personal brand and driving your philosophies into what you put in the world. What excites me most about this conversation is the unspoken prerequisite for achieving the above: personal accountability and responsibility, aka complete ownership of our actions and choices. Carl is a world-class athlete – a gymnast who founded Gymnastics WOD and wrote the best-selling book Free+Style – and a world-class thinker and thought leader. After years of having Carl on our “guest wish list” we caught up with him in San Francisco for this epic conversation about bringing a heightened intention and awareness to everything we do: from movement to business, from marketing to leading. Enjoy. Show Notes: Episode #60 w/ Carl Paoli “If you have $1000 in the bank and don't know how to manage $1000, you have no business having $2000.” Finding clarity is key to understanding your stand and how to drive that through your life/business. Clarity takes time. Doing the reps is always going to be part of the process. Keep asking yourself the essential questions and act in your own best interests. “It's a never-ending story” Carl isn't creating a business to solve people's problems. He's creating a business that allows them to get to their solutions. Marketing strategies like a handstand picture have a bit of modern-day magic behind them. The magician reveals (some of) his secrets. We're all influencers. Influence yourself first and then put that self-work into action in your life and those around you. Entertainment means holding focus. Carl's freestyle philosophy works on reaching a point where you can accept and respect all styles. All ways of feeling and acting. The answers are in the book. The book is your body. Listen to what your body tells you. Listen to what strength means to Carl. What's the one lesson you'd teach your daughter?
