“Motivation is great, but habits begin with taking action.” –Patricia van EsscheYou deserve to be fully present. Yes, even if you are parenting or caretaking for aging parents. I asked Patricia van Essche, pilates instructor and artist, about why we might want to check out pilates during perimenopause. Her response is about more than exercise.Let's start with exercise. If you are looking for a 10-minute workout, pilates is not it — but it still might be for you. We have so many things promised to us in short bursts of time, but some things (most things) take longer. Pilates can help your back and your posture. The breathwork is powerful and beneficial for the body.Patricia also talks about community and connection with pilates — and the power of showing up for yourself. We look at how to start a habit, how Patricia's clients managed to start a habit with pilates — even juggling a lot and needing 50 minutes for a class.We talk about: How parenting shifts but doesn't end as you kids get older even into adulthoodWriting down the thing you want to do and your planHow habits start with action and how we start slow and buildHaving somebody hold space for your commitment Reinventing yourself at any ageSetting aside time each week for the things you want in your lifeABOUT PATRICIAPVE is a bon vivant as well as an accomplished artist and illustrator.

This is why I keep saying it's a partnership and your business is like a marriage. You have to do the exact same thing before you marry someone. These are the exact same things you have to do. But I think so many people are afraid of looking dumb or like they know what they're doing, or they get caught up in the excitement of what the business could be. And it's like, you got to sit down and just go, okay, down and dirty. Like, how deep am I going to get into this? How deep are we both getting into this before, like, we go, this isn't working.Lesley Logan [00:00:30]:Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast, where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world, and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guests will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and be It till you see it. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Lesley Logan [00:01:12]:Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap, where my co-host in life, Brad, and I are going to dig into the captivating convo I had with Kristen Crowley and Jill Bunny in our last episode. If you haven't yet listened to that interview, feel free to go back now and listen, or listen to this one and then listen to that one. You can go in any order you want. (Brad Crowell: You can.) You really can. It is your own adventure and we want to support that, but they're pretty bunch badass bitches, so you should listen to it. Today is October twelveth at the time that you're listening to this. We are in the midst of our retreat this year, so we are in Cambodia. We should be out at the temples today, like, living our best life up, (Brad: Loving it.) which is so exciting.Lesley Logan [00:01:51]:And that also means today is World Arthritis and World Sight Day, both important things you should know about. So, first of all, arthritis is real, so go get yourself checked out and do the things you can do to avoid the heck out of them, like getting stronger. And the World Sight Day, I didn't actually look up what that means, but make sure it's seeing well. Like, do I need to go to the eye doctor today? Is that what it's telling me to do?Brad Crowell [00:02:17]:World Sight Day.Lesley Logan [00:02:18]:You want to know something funny?Brad Crowell [00:02:22]:Observed every year. What's funny?Lesley Logan [00:02:23]:Well, I got lasix when I was 30 and everyone said, that's so dumb because at 40, you're going to need to have reading glasses. And I want to let you know right now, you guys, I'm 40 and I do not need reading glasses. So, go Lasix.Brad Crowell [00:02:37]:That's true. It is a day first initiated by Lions Club International Foundation during their site first campaign in an effort to spread awareness about preventable blindness and help people who are visually impaired.Lesley Logan [00:02:49]:Oh, well, then go to schedule your doctor's appointment to prevent blindness. I think that's genius. I didn't know that. That's great. Wonderful. Gaia, we think is probably blind. She did she did bark at a bolster. It's okay.Brad Crowell [00:03:06]:She just sat up. She can hear just fine.Lesley Logan [00:03:09]:She can hear just fine. It's believing. Here we go. So, yes, we are in Cambodia next year. We will be back here in Cambodia in October.

And then in January, I do kick off eLevate round four.

That'll get you on the waitlist. But if you actually want to get in on 2024, DM me and I will chat with you. We'll see if this is the right thing for you.Lesley Logan [00:05:11]:We are so, so excited. Some people, like I said last episode, call it a game changer. And those people would be eLevate members, multiple of them. They told me it's game changing. And I'm like, yeah, eLevate. Game changing. Love the tagline.Brad Crowell [00:05:24]:Love it.Lesley Logan [00:05:25]:Before we talk about Jill Bunny and Kristen Crowley. I just want Jill Bunny's name. I'm just going to be really honest. I want it. (Brad: It's a name.) I want to know. I have so many questions about that.Brad Crowell [00:05:36]:If it was like she nicknamed herself.Lesley Logan [00:05:38]:But I don't think I don't. I don't think so. Especially after my brother sat there and read every baseball player name off to us. And I was like, really? Someone named their kid that oil win something.Brad Crowell [00:05:52]:Anyways, what if she had a brother named Jack?Lesley Logan [00:05:56]:Jack Bunny and Jill bunny.Brad Crowell [00:05:58]:Yeah.Lesley Logan [00:05:59]:Well, like, just Jack and Jill.Brad Crowell [00:06:01]:Well, Jack Rabbit bunny.Lesley Logan [00:06:04]:Oh, I see. I was thinking of Jack and Jill. I wasn't thinking of Jack Rabbit.Brad Crowell [00:06:07]:I like the Jack and Jill, too.Lesley Logan [00:06:08]:Because also it makes me think of those houses where they have a bathroom in between, two bedrooms for siblings to share, but the sink is always too low.Brad Crowell [00:06:17]:I'm sure she's heard that before.Lesley Logan [00:06:19]:I'm sure she heard all of this. I'm sure she's like, can we get to talking about me? Yes, we will, in just a second, Jill Bunny, because you're a badass. But first, we have an audience question.Brad Crowell [00:06:27]:Yeah, we do. The question was, do you actually schedule your lunch break?Lesley Logan [00:06:33]:Fuck yes, we do.Brad Crowell [00:06:34]:Yeah.Lesley Logan [00:06:34]:Did we always?Brad Crowell [00:06:36]:No, we didn't always.Lesley Logan [00:06:37]:Well, I did. When I was teaching, I always had a break in the middle of the day.Brad Crowell [00:06:42]:I did not.Lesley Logan [00:06:43]:You've never ever.Brad Crowell [00:06:44]:I've never been good at this except for, well, the last couple of years.Lesley Logan [00:06:46]:Sometimes at 02:00. Brad's like, I haven't eaten yet today. And I'm like, are you an adult? Are you hungry? We need to have a reminder.Brad Crowell [00:06:57]:I don't usually eat breakfast.Lesley Logan [00:07:00]:I know you really don't. But at any rate, I have always had a lunch. Now I have scheduled lunch because we work at home together, and if it's not scheduled, then one of us will interrupt the other person's work break. So we just take at the same time.Brad Crowell [00:07:13]:Yeah. And that's nice, actually. It's a lot of fun.Lesley Logan [00:07:15]:Yeah. Sometimes you make me lunch.Brad Crowell [00:07:17]:It happens. Definitely. But the reason that we do that is because if I didn't put it in my calendar, it wouldn't happen. I would just never take a lunch.Lesley Logan [00:07:27]:That's everything, you guys. If you don't put it in your calendar, it doesn't get done, period.Brad Crowell [00:07:31]:Yeah. So that's legit. Definitely scheduling your lunch break. It's worth it. You'll enjoy it.Lesley Logan [00:07:37]:And look, even if you don't, you're like, guys, I'm not that hungry. I can eat when I'm on the road. Our doctor, Dr. Bender, shout out to her. She, with both of us, is like, you have to sit down and just eat your lunch. Like not be on your phone, don't listen to a podcast, which we still do, but just not reading something for work, but just sit and eat your lunch and let it digest. And so we have a whole hour blocked off for lunch, every workday, and we can do whatever we want in that hour.Lesley Logan [00:08:10]:We can play around for half an hour and then eat lunch. We can eat lunch and then walk around the block or whatever.Brad Crowell [00:08:16]:Or you can make a really extravagant lunch that takes 45 minutes to make.Lesley Logan [00:08:20]:He does that a lot. He does that a lot. Or you can go and go, you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to drive across town to get that coffee that would go great after this lunch right now, even though I can make that latte.Brad Crowell [00:08:33]:She does that a lot.Lesley Logan [00:08:34]:I do. But there's something luxurious about it. And here's the thing. There are times to hustle and to another shout out to Kareen until it comes a hassle. And you have got to take time for yourself and not just in the morning and not just at night, but different parts throughout the day. And lunch is very important. The only day we don't have lunch together is on Tuesdays because I have a fly session after my lunch, technically, so I have lunch after that. But you've made it for me before and we just put in the fridge and I'll eat it later.Lesley Logan [00:09:05]:So, yes, schedule your lunch break. You matter.Brad Crowell [00:09:09]:Okay, now let's talk about our guests,Kristen Crowley and Jill Bunny. As co-entrepreneurs I was just going to say copreneurs. As co-entrepreneurs, Jill and Kristen present a harmonious balance of analytical and creative approaches to business. Both promote building genuine online brands using their backgrounds to help women grow their brands. The name reFRAME became symbolic of their adaptability and resilience in the business landscape and they laughed and said the name just stuck. And that is like officially the name of their business. And what they actually focus on are events and retreats.Lesley Logan [00:09:49]:Yeah, I really loved a lot of what they said, it was actually a really fun conversation. They're really one of the few partnerships and I'm like, okay, they can work together as we've just seen too many partnerships not work out. They really understand each other and their strengths and everything. So I love this. Jill mentioned confidence comes over time and that just because you have a business doesn't actually mean you are a business owner. That kind of also comes with time. And I think that's really interesting because first of all, I think there's a lot of people going, oh my God, I don't want to be a business owner, but like fell into this business and also you don't know what you don't know. So you're kind of flying by the seat of your pant, moment to moment, trying to figure things out.Lesley Logan [00:10:33]:And then over time, you get confidence, like, oh, I've seen this problem before. And it's really like those after that first year or so, you really go, okay, I got this down, okay? It's not going to blow up on me. And I've got some ideas. So I think that that was really cool. So she said what we have to do is put the reps in and the time in and be proud of what you're good at. And I just thought, what a great thing to highlight, just be proud of what you're good at. Too often people are like, oh, I don't want to brag about what I'm good at because some people are going to think I'm overconfident or weird or whatever. And it's like, actually no, you should be really proud of what you're good at because we're not good at everything.Lesley Logan [00:11:10]:And so the things we're good at are like going to propel the business forward and the things we're not good at, we're going to hire out.Brad Crowell [00:11:15]:Yeah, I think that it was interesting just to hear them talk about how they connected with each other and how it became like obviously kindred spirits. And we often tell people not to partner up with people, but I know part of the conversation, you talked about it being like a marriage, which we've talked about here before on this pod, but they totally agreed and they both came from businesses before and partnerships before in different ways and it just seemed to make sense. It seemed to click for them. So I thought that was really interesting.Lesley Logan [00:11:56]:Yeah, well, I mean, just to jump into your side of things, they said you need to make sure that your partner has the same moral compass. And I think that is the same as your partner in life, but really that makes a big difference. And I think a lot of people partner up in business and they both want the thing to grow and they don't want to do all the work alone, which is why they do it, but they don't actually have the same moral compass. In fact, in Agency Mini, this one person was like, hey, should I partner up with this studio owner? And I'm like, you mean the studio owner who's illegally got you classified as not an employee and is, in your words, squandering? No, you should not. You should not because that's not the same role compass.Brad Crowell [00:12:40]:Right. Yeah, totally. I'm glad they talked about partnerships, like how that works because they said that the thing that was really important was sitting down and being crystal clear with each other about things. Like number one thing was money. Are we both putting our personal money into this? Are we raising money from somewhere else? Like, how are we doing this? What are our expectations and how is this going to work? And they both agreed on the way that it would work and effectively being transparent about their personal finances just in case something didn't go the way they expected, could they continue to keep it going? And they effectively made a financial commitment to each other, and then they agreed on they understood, okay, cool. This is where we're at. They said, specifically because at the end of the day, everyone has to be on the same page.Lesley Logan [00:13:34]:Well, here's what I love. It's all communication, and this is the same thing.Brad Crowell [00:13:37]:It really is.Lesley Logan [00:13:38]:This is why I keep saying it's a partnership and your business is like a marriage. You have to do the exact same thing before you marry someone. These are the exact same things you have to do. But I think so many people are afraid of looking dumb or like they know what they're doing, or they get caught up in the excitement of what the business could be. And it's like, you got to sit down and just go, okay, down and dirty. Like, how deep am I going to get into this? How deep are we both getting into this before we go? This isn't working. You have to have the exit strategy as well, because you do have to think, what if this doesn't go well? Who gets what? What happens here? And I learned that from oh, my gosh, a podcast I listened to ten years ago.Lesley Logan [00:14:19]:These two girls became friends on Facebook or whatever. They both did similar things. They partnered up and had an amazing podcast. It was one of the top podcasts at the time for women in business. And they decided to eventually actually make a membership together, which would be the first thing, except for the podcast, where they actually made money together. And they brought on their lawyer, and they said, we sat down with a lawyer and we said, what do we need to talk about before we do this? And she said, we should talk about what happens if one of you doesn't want to do this anymore. We have to talk about how this ends, what are the different ways it could end, and then what happens? And that was such an interesting thing to hear, because no one wants to talk about, like, well, how does it end? But you have to think about it so that if you do need to walk away, how much does each person get? How much do you have to pay to get out of it? Or how much should you get paid to get out of it? So I really enjoyed listening to the fact that they talked about the money. They were very clear on things, and they got very vulnerable about what the states of their personal lives were, because guess what? Your personal life comes into your business all the fucking time.Brad Crowell [00:15:30]:Yeah, totally.Lesley Logan [00:15:31]:All the time.Brad Crowell [00:15:32]:Totally.Lesley Logan [00:15:32]:If anything's going on with one of our family members and they call us the middle of a workday, you better believe it fucks the day up. So I just thought it was really nice, honest conversation.Brad Crowell [00:15:42]:Yeah. And they talked briefly about some red flags, and that was basically hiding things and not being communicative or not being as committed to the vision. And they said, definitely partnerships shouldn't be formed out of desperation. A good partner should push for growth and also keep one on track.Lesley Logan [00:16:08]:Can we just highlight, partnerships should not be put together out of desperation. So if you are having someone partner with you because you're desperate and you need help in your business, that is not the best time to get a partner. You need to take a pause and really understand what you're doing because you'll partner up with someone who you think is a lifeline, and then it just really changes the roles and you don't think through things clearly.Brad Crowell [00:16:34]:Yeah. I do think that if you are going to bring on a team member or a partner, it should be someone with complementary skills, skills that are not your own, so that you're not both trying to do the same things. But yeah, like making a partnership out of desperation is dangerous. (Lesley Logan: Yeah.) All right, so finally, let's talk about those Be It Action Items. What bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action items can we take away from your convo with Kristen Crowley and Jill Bunny? They said when it came to understanding and presenting your authentic self online rather than imitating others. So this is actually really similar to what we were just talking about with a PR person in the last episode, because what their retreats are all about is rebranding your brand. So if you're stuck, you're not feeling like you know what you're doing with your brand, then they offer these events where you can dig in over a couple of days, or some of them are just day retreats and really analyze your social media presence and the way your brand looks and all these kinds of things. And so when they're talking about presenting yourself authentically we're reiterating this here, people, because they said building a brand is about knowing who you are and who you're serving, and then you're going to structure everything around it, around your story, and then the problems that you're solving for the people that you're serving.Lesley Logan [00:18:08]:I love this is back to back with Whitney Lee.Brad Crowell [00:18:09]:It's kind of crazy.Lesley Logan [00:18:10]:You did a good job there. So I actually really enjoyed the action items that Jill talked about because she's like, I'm Jill 2.0 and she is, like, checking in throughout the day if what she's doing is aligned with her, with the 2.0. So all these things that she wants are the actions that she's taking, align with that, not just writing them down and going off onto the day, but really checking back in. So it's not just about journaling, so you feel good about yourself, but actually going, okay, where am I at in alignment with what this is? Am I actually doing those steps that get through there. And it made me think of Alan Stein Jr. Jeez. His interview from the beginning of this year just keeps on giving, and his whole thing is he ends every single day. Like, am I 1% closer to the man I want to be? And it's like, how can you find time in your day to check back in with your actual goals and just really understand, like, okay, today I did these things, and they had nothing to do with 2.0, in fact, I like, went backwards, and just being honest with that.Brad Crowell [00:19:12]:Episode 167.Lesley Logan [00:19:13]:167. I was not going to get that because I don't remember what the year started. But that's my fault. Maybe I should study.Brad Crowell [00:19:20]:It's all good. You're fine.Lesley Logan [00:19:21]:I know, but I want to be like that guy who's uncrooked, who he can go Oscar winner director, 1973. And he's like, DA DA DA DA. And I'm like, no, maybe I don't have that skill. But be it till we see it. Right. So, anyways, I think it's really important to check back in, whether it's a vision board or a journal or a goal, just making sure each day it's like, look at that and go, yes, I'm still on track. Or go, oh, wow, I got a little derailed today. Little derailed.Lesley Logan [00:19:52]:And what can you do to just get back on that I just thought was a really fun way of reflecting on where we're trying to be so we can be it till we see it.Brad Crowell [00:20:01]:I love it.Lesley Logan [00:20:02]:Me too. I'm Lesley Logan.Brad Crowell [00:20:03]:And I'm Brad Crowell.Lesley Logan [00:20:04]:Thank you so much for listening to this amazing podcast. We couldn't do it without you.

And this idea of authentic, you know, I feel like it's overplayed, but but the way that she talks about it, you know, it's important to just be yourself, you have to be you and what it will happen organically is that you will attract people who appreciate your vibe, your personality, your nature, your you know, bubbliness or, you know, and vice versa, you're actually going to be turning away people who just don't vibe with you. Lesley Logan 0:00 Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 0:20 Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It Interview Recap where my co-host in life Brad and I are going to dig into the pragmatic convo I have with Whitney Lee in our last episode. If you haven't yet, listened to this episode yet, you should go back and do that. Because Whitney Lee is a badass. She also just won some awards in Florida where she's like, of the women to know and the girl can dress I'm just gonna say it. So we love Whitney. Before we get into the interview, today is October 5, which is two days after Brad and I celebrate our wedding anniversary of eight years. Brad Crowell 0:50 What? Holy cow.Lesley Logan 0:51 I could be wrong on the (inaudible). I'm pretty sure I'm dead fucking right.Brad Crowell 0:55 Yeah, you're right. Lesley Logan 0:56 Anyways, we used to wonder if it was October 3 or October 5 was our anniversary. We're pretty clear it's on the third. Brad Crowell 1:02 Yeah, it was on the fourth. Yeah. Lesley Logan 1:05 We really hope it was on the third. Brad Crowell 1:06 It was the third it was the third. Lesley Logan 1:08 It's in our calendar guys don't worry (inaudible). And today is the only two days after our eight year wedding anniversary. It is World Teachers' Day and also World Meningitis Day. And because I thought both these are so important for you to know about first of all celebrate the teachers in your life and many of you are listening to this podcast so I celebrate all of you. (Brad: Yeah) And by the way, if your parents did not freak the fuck out of you about kissing someone wrong in college and getting spinal meningitis today's the day someone tells you don't kiss the wrong person. You could die.Brad Crowell 1:45 I've never heard of this. She said it to me, I was like what are you talking about? (Lesley: I was warned) I thought you've got, I thought you got like what was the what was the sickness that you got (Lesley: Mono) I thought you got Mono from kissing people in college.Lesley Logan 1:56 I got Mono before I'd ever kissed someone and you would not believe how much I had to convince my parents. I did not kiss anybody to get mono because all the fucking old wives tales had them convinced I must admit that was someone at any rate, I don't believe in injuries to just come from kissing a frog. I do believe it does come from like college shit dorm room so watch yourself. And if you're not in college, wash your hands. Okay, (Brad: Wash your hands) Everyone should just wash their hands. Brad Crowell 2:21 Yeah, college is a pandemic is what she's basically saying. Lesley Logan 2:23 Well life is I mean it's got a lot of shit going on. But at any rate, washing your hands is never a bad thing. (Brad: It's never a bad thing.) Unless the water is (inaudible). Okay, so we are currently in Cambodia (Brad: Believe it or not.). So this is recorded ahead of time obviously. We are in Cambodia. Our retreat starts in a couple of days we are so excited. (Brad: Oh man.) eality is is that if you're wanting to come to the next retreat, we're only doing one next year (Brad: Only doing one.) So here's the deal we're gonna open up the doors for the early bird special toBrad Crowell 2:54 Open up the doors. I'm just your hyped man today.Lesley Logan 2:56 Okay, only those on the wait list. Oh my god, it's a really bad (inaudible). (Brad: Oh, wow.) Seriously though, if you're on the waitlist, you'll get the early bird special. So you want to be on the waitlist Lesleylogan.co/retreat will get you there. We will be opening the doors in January for you to sign up. The space is limited because the reality is we only have so many rooms in our house and so many rooms in our neighbor's house. (Brad: It's true.) It's not their house. It's like It's like actual bed and breakfast. But at any rate, and there's only so many seats on Brad Crowell 3:30 We call it the guest house there. We don't call it a bed and breakfast. (Lesley: They got a guest house.) Yeah, there's a guest house.Lesley Logan 3:36 So yeah. (Brad: November )Yeah. So then November when I get back when we get back from Cambodia. We have Nashville for our own personal stuff. No, I'm not teaching. I love you Nashville. We'll talk. Then I'm going to head to Chicago to meet up with Erika Quest. The very first weekend of November. We're teaching at the Club Pilates on St. Charles. And if you are wanting tickets to that, as of the recording of this episode, we actually do not have the public link for you yet. So you want to just DM me to see if there's any spots left. And then it's Thanksgiving. So you know, thanks you're giving. And then we're going to be in December on our winter tour. Now the winter tour is super fun. Actually the first weekend of December I'm actually going to Frisco for our annual Frisco workshops with Erika Quest, shout out to my baby again. And then I come back and then we load the van up and then we we actually hit our winter tour up which Texas you'll be back in the limelight on the winter tour. So I expect to see you two times no excuses. And if you want more information on the winter tour, actually, Brad can tell you where to go.Brad Crowell 4:47 Yeah, so you're gonna go to opc.me/tour.Lesley Logan 4:51 And lastly, all of these things are awesome but clearly sound like in person events. It's not always possible. You might live somewhere amazing the world if you are a Pilates teacher, Happy World Teacher Today, and also, I may have spots left in my mentorship program. I only offer it once a year Sue, if you are wanting to basically get some confidence in how you're teaching, make it easier to show up, teach and enjoy that time outside of teaching and really progress your clients and also your amazing practice, then you'll want to go to Lesleylogan.co/elevate to hear more about my mentorship. It's pretty awesome. In fact, some people would call it a game changer, those people would be eLevate people.Brad Crowell 5:31 Yeah. You can also send her a DM. Lesley Logan 5:34 You can. You can send me a DM, it's probably will probably will keep you from ending up on a waitlist and making sure that you actually get the information before it kicks off. Because once it kicks off, that's it, folks. (Brad: That's it, folks.) So, 2025, which is kind of nuts. So probably (Brad: That's weird.) and also, we cannot guarantee what I'm doing in 2025. (Brad: That's true.) I'm an Aquarius, you guys. That's just how it goes. Anyways, before we talk about Whitney Lee, Brad, we have audience questions?Brad Crowell 6:03 We do. Right now, we just are wrapping up Agency Mini from Profitable Pilates and (Lesley: It's very wrapped.) Yeah. Well, yes, at the time of recording, Alexis George asks tips from keeping, what are tips to keep your clients moving and not talking as much?Lesley Logan 6:23 Oh my gosh, raise your hand unless you're driving only raise one hand. If your clients teach you treat you like they're a therapist?Brad Crowell 6:31 Oh, I mean, I think it just comes with the job, right?Lesley Logan 6:35 Well, here is the deal. My loves. And it's not like I didn't have clients who did this. And it's not like I didn't see some of my favorite teachers who I love and respect have clients who do this, clients do this. However, it is out of your scope to actually therapize them. So you can listen to (Brad: Is that a word, therapize?) Yes, dear, look it up. It's a word. If I were playing Scrabble, it's a word. And it's got a Z so I would like all the points. Brad Crowell 6:57 It's totally a word. Subject (Lesley: You heard it here.) to psychological therapy. (Lesley: Yeah.) You don't need to therapize or fix each other.Lesley Logan 7:05 Yeah, you don't, unless you're actually a therapist and actually paying you for that. But what I find is like movement, is where trauma leaves the body. And so there is going to be some discussion of things they are not going to be silent. You know, unless they're a silent person, and there are those people, you're just like, do you like this? Do you like me? Is this working? And the truth is that their workout faces and their workout, like being is not actually a true barometer of how amazing your teaching is. Nor is their talking too much, but what you can do. First of all, I love exercises that make them have to focus. So you can actually go hey, I want to hear the story.Brad Crowell 7:48 So did you say coordination? I'm pretty sure that you said coordination. Lesley Logan 7:50 Yeah. How's that going? For you, Brad? Brad Crowell 7:51 Yeah, it's going. (Lesley: Yeah, you're doing it.) I didn't do it right. I did it wrong. 100%.Lesley Logan 7:57 Okay. Thank God for flashcards anyway, so you pick an exercise that makes them have to think so first of all, I let my client absolutely tell me everything about their day, their neighbors, that, you know, the weekend lives in their building, and all that shit, during footwork. Because guess what, when the 100 comes, they have to shut the fuck up. They have to this is where you all, even if your contemporary teacher, can I just say steal the footwork through the 100, it will help because the footwork, they can talk, talk talk, it's fine. You're just looking at seeing what their body's doing anyways, and then 100 they cannot breathe in for five and out for five and pumped arms at the same time, and tell you about their day, unless they're fucking amazing. And therefore that story must be worth hearing. So I love to make a joke like, oh, wow, you really want to tell me the story while you're counting to 100. I'm impressed. And it kind of gets them to go, Oh, I am so sick in 200. Because I always say and if you've been to any class, on my tours, I say, I have never counted to 100 ever my 15-year career, and today is not the day I'm doing that. So these things are really helpful. Just bring people back to it. But also, again, because they're moving trauma is going to leave the body. It may. They don't know what that trauma is. And so they're often just like talking because they don't know what they're feeling. And so it's a little weird. And some people are verbal processors. Hello, I'm one of them. So I actually talk to Jay, on a zoom class with six other people there. I'm like, it's too quiet. Let me tell you a story. All right. So I hear you. Here's another tip. Don't ask an actual question back. Just say, Oh, wow, that must have been really difficult, period. You know, so if you don't ask a question back, or when you speak, you just bring them back to the exercise. And if they asked you a question, full permission, just go. Well, you know, I haven't thought about that. Let me think about it and get back to you. Like you can actually just go let me think about that and get back to you. (Brad: Shut it down.) You don't have to, and if they ask anything you should go, Look, this is really important that I progress you and you get your goals. Unless you just really love hanging out with me and paying for that. I really want to make sure you get your goals. Yeah. And that really helps because the thing is that they don't reach their goals. If they ever have a bad day and their packages do, and they're having bad money trouble. You're on the chopping block. So it's really important to bring it back to it and it's difficult. You have to train them how to treat you, but it is possible. And again, make them work. They can't speak at the same time. Okay, I love it. If you have questions, send them in.Brad Crowell 10:34 Send in a DM. Lesley Logan 10:35 Yeah. Brad Crowell 10:39 All right, let's talk about Whitney Lee. Whitney Lee is the founder of True Story. And she's a seasoned PR expert who champions authentic connections. She simplifies complex strategies, empowering business owners to navigate challenges with an effective approach.Lesley Logan 10:55 Okay, well, I'm gonna jump in. (Brad: Do it.) I loved some stuff. First of all, of course, I love this stuff. She said, she was giving advice about understanding your audience. And whether you are listening to this as a business owner, or listen to this as a person who is trying to like, get donation money for your nonprofit, or, I don't know, get your family to understand that you don't want to go to their house for Thanksgiving, just saying. Lesley Logan 11:20 It's extremely important that you understand the audience you're trying to serve, trying to get to understand that you are the right thing for them that your way is better than the highway. Like, it's really, really important to understand them and their goals and their needs. And so she said, be very clear on who you serve. For example, if you're serving moms between 30 and 45, use that information. And especially now moms, moms today at 30 to 45 have often had two young kids. So like, if this was the 80s, my grandmother would be in this age group.Lesley Logan 11:56 But today, they're often like, they worked really hard. They made their money and they have having kids later. So what do these moms need? These are moms who used to have a whole life before they had kids, they actually had time to themselves. They actually, and I just watched a reel where this mom told her kids to like, draw picture of her sleeping, and then she took a nap while they're trying, like these moms have, they know what it's like to have been young and partying. And then also now not to be that so like, get information. And then if you can't find the information you're looking for, you should ask them because customers and consumers don't think the way that business owners think they're not thinking in the marketing and PR terms. So if so you can't you can't think like yourself, you have to think like them. And so sometimes just ask them, Why are you here? How did you find us? Why do you keep coming back? What is this doing for you? Like, I know that sounds weird, but it's really fun. And I often would ask my clients this, especially when they would refer me people that I'm like, How the fuck? Did this person come in my doors? So I'm like, Oh, tell me more about what you told your friend about what we do here. And then I heard like, oh, like calm and it's super relaxing. I love the coffee. And you just like you just like really helped me like think about what's going on my day. And I'm like, none of those things are things I'm proud of, like none of those things so cool. Okay. Noted. Noted. We got to shut you up. But anyways, like, it's so important. I'm joking. And also being truthful. Like.Brad Crowell 13:27 well, you can empower your clients with the thing to say, right you can we talk about this a lot with our with our, you know, the clients that we coach, to just explain, hey, here's what it is that we're doing here.Lesley Logan 13:39 Yes. And that is why you should ask people what it is you're doing there because that will let you know if you're doing a good job of that or not. And also it'll let you know, like, where did they fight? Find out your information? Like, what what was their real reason for coming in. So that's why I understand what their goals are. And even if not everyone has fitness goals, but like, Okay, but what prompted you to like actually spend the time to come here today? Like why now? What is it now? Right? So really kind of get in their head? Because that's the best way for you to meet other people like them.Brad Crowell 14:10 Yeah, yeah. And to get to know, you know who your actual person is. Lesley Logan 14:14 Yeah. And it's not a cartoon character. This is a real person. As we know from Hillary Hartling. It's a real person. So ask real people.Brad Crowell 14:21 Call back, Hillary Hartling. (Lesley: Episode...) No, good luck. I don't know.Lesley Logan 14:28 It was December of when we launched so I'm going to say 47, 49.Brad Crowell 14:37 Close. 57.Lesley Logan 14:38 What. (Brad: Yeah) Look at me. (Brad:) If someone's listening for the first time, was like, I don't understand that's so far off. Let me just tell you I'm pretty darn close within 10 episodes most of the time. Kareen was a fluke.Brad Crowell 14:54 All right. All right. All right. (Lesley: What did you love?) So I really enjoyed what she was talking about operating solely on emotions versus looking at, you know, the numbers, or looking at facts is what she was talking about actually, she said, it's not about how it feels or how you feel about it. Because we often operate in that space where we're operating based off the way we feel. Right? And she said, what ends up happening is that we end up because of the way we feel we end up seeking evidence to support that feeling. Right, which can be a downward spiral, or you can be completely kidding yourself.Lesley Logan 15:33 Oh, yeah. We talked about this with the doctor Philippe. PhilippeBrad Crowell 15:39 Douyon. Yes. Lesley Logan 15:40 I'm not gonna be able to recall the episode we had him on twice. So there's two different numbers in my brain, but he taught there's an actual brain scientific thing for this, like cognitive, something something.Brad Crowell 15:50 But, but so, you know, we ended up trying to prove or disprove things based on how we feel, and not on what's happening around us what's actually happening around us. And I thought that was really interesting. You know, she she actually said something really which I thought was, she said, you have to know, when you're going down that path, and you need something. You need to be able to do something to kind of snap out of it.Lesley Logan 16:17 Cold water. Ice plunge. (Brad: Sure.) Hot, cold shower. (Brad: Cold shower.)Brad Crowell 16:23 Yeah. But I mean, she didn't mention those things. But those are options. She said when she's working with our clients, they definitely do not come up with strategies based off of feelings or hunches. Instead, they're looking at hard truths. And they're trying to find a way forward by looking at that, you know, what's happening around them.Lesley Logan 16:44 I think that's true. I mean, I think it's also important to acknowledge the feelings you're having and share them with people so that you can also beware of a pattern like, what, what sets off the feeling that you're having? That is opposite of what the actual facts are. So that when you are having those feelings, you can go oh, oh, hold on. This is that time, like, you got to? (Brad: Yeah) we do that around the house, when we talked about this with Chris Goodman, like, I'll, you'll just be here with me walking out on my, I'm having a fear of success, right now. I'm gonna go take a shower, like, I'm gonna go like, pause this out. But I wouldn't be able to do that today, where I like to live like go, Oh, these feelings are going to keep me from actually paying attention to what is actually happening. They're going to derail me, they're gonna make me make up products that are not for real things. So so I'm aware of that now, I wasn't aware of that before. And it took me longer to figure it out. So I actually think it's really important to acknowledge them so that you can pay attention to the hard truth, you can go seeking it out when they come up. My opinion. (Brad: Well said.)Brad Crowell 17:53 All right. So finally, let's talk about those be it action items, what bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action items, can we take away from your convo with Whitney Lee? She said, The most important thing you can do for all of y'all out there because obviously she runs a PR firm, right? So she has a bunch of clients. And the whole one thing I thought was interesting, actually, I'm just gonna throw this in here. Before the bold truth is she talked about the difference. The distinction between PR and sales. She said sales is very obviously, you're trying to generate money coming in. PR, you're trying to stay at the top of the conversation. You're trying to stay relevant. (Lesley: Yes.) And so I suppose the first time I ever heard, like that distinction.Lesley Logan 18:33 Also like you're creating authority, like the perception of authority, yeah. Brad Crowell 18:38 Totally. But part of that staying relevant is using social media. And she said, the most important thing, if you're just getting started, is to reject this idea of what people think you are and that they, that you you try to, like put out content for what you think they need, and instead, do you think they think so. Right? And is that you should be putting out content based on you being you. Right? Authenticity, right? And this idea of authentic, you know, I feel like it's overplayed, but but the way that she talks about it, you know, it's important to just be yourself, you have to be you and what it will happen organically is that you will attract people who appreciate your vibe, your personality, your nature, your you know, bubbliness or, you know, and vice versa, you're actually going to be turning away people who just don't vibe with you in that way. And that's actually okay. Right. So she said, it has to you have to stop being overly manicured with photos and get into stories daily. And actually just be yourself in your stories. And then she said, figure out how you're different and talk about that on social media.Lesley Logan 19:53 Yeah. So many great reminders actually did a story of me I'm in my pajamas right now. You guys we're recording this in my pajamas. I put them on for 30 today. And then I was like, Oh, I haven't done a video in this outfit for Tabby yet. And so I was like, alright, so I did a little story. I'm like, I'm like, so I filmed two workouts, and I didn't need to change the sweaty clothes. So I put on my pajamas for 30, more like 60 to get that for the rest of the day. And I did it and they're like, Oh, we love this. You should be in pajamas all day and they shared it and I'm like, You know what? That is actually so much more fun. It really really is. It's so much easier it's so you know, we get on our heads like oh my god, what is this background look like the house, whatever. But it's like people actually just really like want to see who you really are. And it's way more fun that way. So I really love her advice there. I loved and her Be It action items to continually put yourself out there. She said it is really important to pursue opportunities too often people are waiting for the opportunities to come their way pursue them so not pitches. Gaius is in a pitch right now for earn media coverage, partnerships, speaking engagements, podcast tours, like just wherever you're wanting to be seen based on who you want to serve. So remember podcasts. If you're if your peeps are over a certain age, God bless them. They're still not here yet. We're working on it. Gaia is sending out a pitch, she's,Brad Crowell 21:16 She's at a certain age,Lesley Logan 21:17 She is a lady of a certain age, she'sBrad Crowell 21:19 Now barking at nothing.Lesley Logan 21:21 Yes, she barked at a bolster today you guys should. At any rate, that is the bead accent, which I really, really love. We're just going to talk over Gaia because it's okay. She also said to offer value. And this is really, really important. So when you reach out to a podcast or by the way, if you're if you're listening to this and you're about to pitch to me, please do not tell me how amazing you are, you have to tell me how amazing what you have to share on my podcast is for my listeners. And so whenever I pitch to be on podcasts, and very specifically one like, Hey, I heard your podcast is about this, here's what I could talk about to support your listeners and your mission. So be there make sure you're very clear on like, how you actually benefit the people that you're pitching to. Because they get pitched up all day long. Of course you want them to talk about you, but they've earned that audience. So you have to make sure that you actually are supporting that that connection they have with the audience. And then she saidLesley Logan 22:16 the best angle, focus on giving. Educate and give without asking for anything in return it will come back to you. You know, we had Rory Vaden on last month and he is very big on this. He in fact, like he talked about how he just gave so much advice to Lisa and so many bill you that they don't have him Tom, thank you guys, that they were like we have to pay you like we actually pay you for this. So like, you have to just like focus on the service and it all comes back. That's how the world works. All right. I'm Lesley Logan.Brad Crowell 22:48 And I'm Brad Crowell.Lesley Logan 22:48 Thank you so much for listening to me, Brad, Gaia. And of course this podcast we're so grateful for you. Truly, really I can't believe we're about to hit the 300th episode. (Brad: I know it's kind of insane.) It's insane. Clare Solly was like do you realize I just listened to Episode 250 that means you're gonna be at 300 really quickly and I'm like oh shit, yes we are. Do we need, we will figure how to use this soundboard over here before then. Anyways, we are so grateful to you for sharing this podcast to someone you know who needs to hear it. And until next time.

Serve No Master : Escape the 9-5, Fire Your Boss, Achieve Financial Freedom
Welcome to the Serve No Master Podcast! This podcast is aimed at helping you find ways to create new revenue streams or make money online without dealing with an underpaid or underappreciated job. Our host is best-selling author, Jonathan Green.Today's guest is Hensley Ellefritz is a sales expert who always had a passion for the industry. Recognizing the transformation in the health and wellness sector, she initially began her journey by working at a gym's front desk. However, she quickly climbed the ranks and discovered her strength in sales. Hensley went on to develop sales models for prominent fitness brands like Pure Bar and Club Pilates. She played a pivotal role in Club Pilates' expansion from 100 to 700 locations. Witnessing the challenges faced by independent studio owners during the COVID-19 pandemic, Hensley's passion grew to help them succeed. In late 2020, she unintentionally started her own business, aiming to consult and empower fitness entrepreneurs. In just two years, her company has experienced remarkable growth, working with over 100 brands. In this episode, Hensley Ellefritz shares valuable insights on why it is more cost-effective and enjoyable to retain existing members than to constantly generate new ones. Throughout the episode, Hensley highlights the crucial role of the onboarding process in creating a positive perception of the business for members. They discuss the importance of touch points and personal connections, such as checking in on personal matters, in building relationships and increasing retention. Recognizing the negative stigma surrounding the industry, Hensley apologizes for any negative experiences listeners may have had. They encourage listeners to evaluate their current clients or customers who continue to come back or refer others as identifiers of their target audience. Throughout the episode, Hensley underscores the significance of community-building and personal connections in businesses such as gyms. They discuss the impact of bad employees on a business and stress the importance of making strategic hiring choices and avoiding common mistakes.Notable Quotes- "The more involved and interfacing you can be with your clients, the more successful your brand is going to be long term." - [Hensley Ellefritz]- "Being able to prioritize coachability and desire for growth, I think if you can find someone who is coachable and desires growth within your organization... if you love it and you want to learn and you're hungry, I will take that all day over pedigree and professional reputation." - [Hensley Ellefritz]- "The chase to the bottom is what I know kills a lot of small businesses." - [Jonathan Green]- "I spend a lot of money on fitness... It's not because I want to be better looking... I want to be around when they get married. It's about longevity for me... So I always pay attention to people that have a more sophisticated marketing or pay attention to other motivational reasons."- [Jonathan Green]Connect with Hensley EllefritzWebsite: rebootfc.com/Connect with Jonathan Green The Bestseller: Serve No Master Free Book on Amazon: Fire Your Boss Podcast Website: https://servenomaster.com/podcast/ Subscribe, Rate, and Review: https://servenomaster.com/itunes Video Episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@ServeNoMasterPodcast
Are you the owner of a single-location business that is doing well and you've been thinking of franchising? Have you always wanted to franchise your business from the start? Then this week's podcast episode is for you. Allison Beardsley, Co-Steward of Red Light Method, and the Founder of Club Pilates share franchising tips and tricks she's learned over the years. Allison Beardsley has been in the fitness industry since the year 2000. She has been called a "disruptor" in the fitness industry and founded Club Pilates and Red Light Method. Allison loves to play business and has a servant's heart that loves to help and serve others; she builds businesses on the biblical concept of loving your neighbor as yourself. Allison has been happily married to her husband, Chris, for over 17 years, and they have two homeschooled children together, Ryder, who is almost 16, and Lily, who is almost 13. The Beardsleys live on a 45-acre farm in the Ozarks; they raise sheep and chickens and grow their own food in their greenhouses. Be sure to take notes as Allison shares: The difference between franchising and licensing Why being an entrepreneur is about helping and serving as many people as possible Why a first experience free offer can help your business grow How riding waves of inspiration rather than having a structured daily plan can lead to success Why it's important to not overthink things and not to be afraid to take a leap to try something new How to build a franchise with a solid rock foundation rather than shifting sands Allison's tips will motivate you to take your business to the next level through franchising.

CW: This episode features reference to emotional abuse and coercion.This week, we pick up where we left off in a two-part conversation with former ‘Org' trainer, Shannon Geltner. The episode opens with Shannon & Tracy deep breathing through their emotional triggers to offer us a peek inside of yet-another disturbing trainer training - and a group sharing ‘exercise' that has cult-vibes written all over it. Shannon shares how it felt being publicly shamed in front of her peers, then shares how going through a divorce (and finding a good therapist) helped her come to terms with her own codependency; which delivered up some startling insights about not only her marriage, but her fourteen-year relationship to the Org. She expresses her grief openly, and shares why she hung onto the practice and her primary source of livelihood for as long as she could, until an interaction with ‘Marissa' the Org's co-founder really opened her eyes. Shannon began expressing her boundaries and was soon after fired as a trainer. She tells us what it was like receiving her demotion letter; not only how it felt but also why she chose to walk away silently and without protest. She delivers a powerful message to her fellow trainers - current and former - who are listening, and Tracy experiences an unexpected swell of emotion that leads us into a shameless and fiery discussion about anger, outrage, and the pressure to forgive. The episode wraps with Shannon's share around her personal experiences at Tony Robbins trainings, and how there is really nothing new under the sun when it comes to packaging and selling self-development. This is long episode with lots of twists and turns, and we're hoping it opens all of us to more nuanced discussions around shared accountability.Shannon Geltner, MS has been teaching conscious, therapeutic movement for 19+ years in the Dallas-Ft. Worth Metroplex as well as nationally. She is the owner of Compassion Fitness™ LLC and she is trained in a wide variety of movement modalities, both traditional and non-traditional. Shannon did her Pilates Instructor certification in 2017 with Club Pilates in their 500-hour Teacher Training program, and is currently the General Manager for two local Club Pilates studios in DFW. Pilates certification allows her to apply her years of expertise in anatomy, giving her the ability to create fun, whole body workouts on specialized apparatus, which in turn has helped her overcome injury and heal her own body in a healthy and safe way. In addition to Pilates, Shannon is an Org 1st Degree Black Belt, a former Org Teacher Trainer, a JourneyDance Facilitator, and a Melt Method instructor. Shannon holds a Bachelor of Business Administration in Entrepreneurship and a Masters of Science in Natural Health. She always encourages her students to create a healthy, joyful lifestyle by integrating nutrition and mindful movement into their daily lives. Shannon loves the Pilates community and the conscious movement Pilates creates, and she feels blessed every day to be able to live and teach what she loves!Referenced in this episode:Deep Cut: Post-Cult Shame (Conspirituality podcast)Support the showThe stories and opinions shared in this episode are based on personal experience and are not intended to malign any individual, group, or organization.Join The Deeper Pulse at Patreon for weekly bonus episodes + other exclusive bonus content.

The series continues with a peek inside ‘Org' training ‘cult'ure. Candice opens the episode with a longer than usual intro, sharing details about the Org training hierarchy for the first time as a lead-in to the first half of a two-part convo; one that was originally intended for Patreon but was, in turns out, 'destined' for the main feed. Shannon Geltner was affiliated with the Org for 14 years, progressing through the ranks to become an NGT (or next generation trainer) right alongside good friend of the pod, Tracy Stamper - who also joins this conversation. The convo opens with a discussion about how it feels (scary AF) speaking out in defiance of the Org's cultish indoctrination. Nevertheless, Shannon shares how she felt when the company began soliciting a whole new generation of trainers, years after she'd been so callously fired without explanation. Gossip is discussed, but not the toxic kind; the sort of ‘gossip' that reinforces accountability and keeps us safe from harm. The three share a belly laugh when talking about how, back in the day, they each had to regularly offer up “but it isn't a cult” defense to outsiders who just didn't get it. And then, Shannon shares about her personal journey with the Org; her ‘this is it' moment, and what it was like progressing through the various belt-level trainings. She shares details surrounding the first red flag she remembers, which leads into a discussion about fawning in which Candice reveals a fairly-recent experience with this doe-eyed nervous system adaptation. Shannon offers empathy to all who were (like her) body shamed in the Org training environment, then speaks to what it was like being “courted” as a second-generation trainer. Part 1 wraps with Shannon and Tracy giving us all an insider's peek into the initial recruitment process, as well as the disorienting mixed messages received once they signed on as trainers.Shannon Geltner, MS has been teaching conscious, therapeutic movement for 19+ years in the Dallas-Ft.

Up first in my Summer 2023 Pharmacist Authors Series is Salam Kabbani, PharmD. She wrote COVID Long-Hauler: My Life Since COVID and narrated the audiobook. A sample of her audiobook is included at the end of the episode. Bio Salam Kabbani, PharmD is an infectious diseases pharmacy specialist at Olathe Medical Center in the greater Kansas City area. Her experience with long-COVID disability motivated her to write a memoir about her experiences so she can spread empathy by sharing her honest human experience. She is very passionate about advocating for patients and is currently working on a new series highlighting long-COVID symptoms and different strategies to mitigate them. Outside of pharmacy she is an avid reader and shares book recommendations on her Bookstagram and blog. She loves to be outdoors and takes every opportunity she can to go hiking when her health permits. She works part-time at Club Pilates and considers this her “fun job”, and she truly believes that reformer pilates has helped recover some of her strength after long-COVID. She lives with her cat Luna and feels grateful for every experience life has to offer her. She loves connecting with people, and especially long-haulers, and would love to hear your stories, answer any questions, or just chat through any of the links below!

I listened to the audiobook, and I enjoyed it! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ During the second half of our interview, Salam talked about her experience narrating her audiobook. Because it's a memoir, she wanted to narrate it herself. According to Salam, it was a challenge, but she's glad she did it. Her goal was to release the print and audiobook versions at the same time, but the print version was first to market. Her 3 hour audiobook took 6 hours of recording time (not all in one day). Salam's advice to other pharmacist authors who want to narrate their own audiobook: Prepare: Practice, hydrate, and allow plenty of time to record. Pick your most energetic/refreshed time of the day to record. (Avoid recording after your work day.) Pick a studio you're comfortable with. Make sure you can sit comfortably and place your reading materials in front of you. Find an engineer who is experienced with recording, editing, and producing audio files to the specifications you need. Cautionary tale: The first engineer Salam worked with recorded the entire book, but he did not finalize her files to specs; he was inexperienced. Salam needed help from a second audio engineer - Julie Walthers from Whole Story Studio. With Julie's help, Salam's files passed ACX specs, and publishing the audiobook went smoothly. Can you help the author out? If you know of a book group or support group who might like COVID Long Hauler: My Life Since COVID, recommend it to them. They could read it and have a discussion. If you know of a podcast that could interview Salam about her book, please nominate her to the host or let Salam know about the podcast. LinkedIn messages work well.

Ryan Stieg started down the path of passive investing like many of us did, after he picked up a little purple book called Rich Dad, Poor Dad. The problem was that he did that in college and didn't take action on it to start investing passively until many years later when that itch to invest passively crept back up. Since 2016, Ryan has focused (or should we say lack thereof) on all different kinds of investing, always returning to real estate and business as his mainstay. Ryan has a small portfolio of one to three-unit rentals across five markets in the US. He has also invested in over forty real estate syndication investments individually or with an investment group he co-founded with fellow Infielder and Left Field Investor Jim Pfeifer. Besides that, Ryan has investments in note funds, mobile home park funds, life settlements, a development project, cryptocurrency, and other items that further cement his self-diagnosis of "shiny object syndrome". However, with all of those reaches over the years, Ryan still believes in the long term success and tenets of passive, cash flow-focused, investing with proven syndicators and shared knowledge in investing. When he is not working on passive investments, he is working on another new venture starting a Club Pilates franchise in his hometown, or he can be found with his wife watching whatever sport one of their two boys is involved in during that particular season.

The indoor rowing machine - or erg - has been in use since the fourth century when an Athenian Admiral created a rudimentary version to train his army. And since, innovators from Concept2 helped to commercialize the indoor rowing machine and CrossFit got millions of people across the world onto the erg in their intense workouts.And this week on the podcast, I spoke with two innovators who helped take rowing from the corner of the gym floor to the center of a workout.Debra Strougo and Eric Von Frohlich, are the husband and wife team who created Row House in 2014. Their mission was to bring the sport of rowing to the masses and make it accessible. They saw the sport as accessible to all entry points into fitness, whether you're just starting out on a fitness journey or whether you're an olympic rower looking for somewhere to practice. And to hear them tell it, they crafted their own education to learn the ins and outs of studio fitness after writing down what would become the plan to build Row House on a napkin. They dug into studio management and operations in a way that they hadn't learned when they met working at Equinox in New York City.And this week on the podcast, they take us through that whole journey of ideating, building the brand in New York City, and inevitably selling their business to Xponential Fitness - the franchising brand that also owns Pure Barre, Rumble, Cycle Bar, AKT, Stretch Lab, Stride, Yoga six and Club Pilates. And, just for listening, you can get a free first class at your nearest Row House, simply download the Row House app and click try a class.

With Amy Warner, Regional Director for Club Pilates It's no secret that the key to staying fit and in good health involves moving our bodies each day. When we intentionally move in ways that stretch and lengthen our muscles, we condition our bodies, by improving our posture and muscle tone. Not only is it good for us physically, but it gets those endorphins flowing which can also lift our mood and reduce stress. The most recent studies have shown that it may also improve our mental focus and concentration. Exercising our body may also exercise our mind. But which exercise programs are best for us? One of the things to look for in a daily workout is a full-body, low-impact routine that won't strain your muscles or cause injury. Placing undue stress on your joints is not only painful, but it could prevent you from exercising for a few days until you can move again without pain. You'll also want a workout that can stabilize your core and improve your balance. That's why Pilates has consistently been rated one of the best overall fitness and conditioning programs. A good Pilates workout provides strength, flexibility, and balance training; the perfect mix to improve posture, mobility, and mental health. My guest today is Amy Warner. She's the Regional Director for Club Pilates, an equipment-based pilates studio with 7 locations throughout metro Detroit and Grand Rapids. We talk with Amy about the mind/body benefits associated with Pilates and learn why this is such a great fitness activity for optimum physical and mental conditioning. What You'll Hear on This Episode: What is Amy's background and how did she get started with Pilates? What is Pilates and how is it different from yoga? What makes Pilates different from other forms of exercise? What are some of the benefits associated with a Pilates workout? Why is it so important to strengthen and stabilize our core? What is the reformer? How is the reformer more beneficial than mat Pilates? What is some of the other equipment that you provide at Club Pilates? What does a typical Club Pilates class look like? Is Pilates a “one size fits all” type of workout? Does Pilates help you lose weight? Today's Takeaway: Finding an activity or exercise routine you can commit to doing several days a week is not only good for you physically, but it's also good for your mental and emotional health. You may find that you have more energy, sleep better, and feel less anxious or stressed. When stress hormones build up in your body, it can lead to muscle spasms and pain. But finding a way to effectively “channel that stress” through a physical workout, helps to release that build-up in a healthy manner. Taking part in an overall body conditioning class like Pilates may increase your body awareness and mental focus, which could improve your memory and concentration. In addition to strengthening your core and improving your posture, you may also find yourself breathing better. Remember that every day is a gift and the gift that we get from properly nourishing and moving our bodies will only serve to make us healthier and stronger. We'll feel better physically, we'll have fewer aches and pains, and our mental focus will be sharper. Best of all, when both our mind and body are in balance, it has a positive effect on our mood so we act better too! Remember to treat your body as a gift. Get moving! I'm Florine Mark and that's “Today's Takeaway.” Quotes: “Pilates is a low-impact full-body workout that focuses on flexibility, strength, and body awareness through controlled movements.” — Amy “Always moving your body is a good thing.” — Amy You want to do what speaks to you and what you respond to so that you're consistent and healthy.” — Amy “Pilates is all-inclusive; it's always full-body, it's always low-impact.” — Amy “It's all-inclusive. Regardless of age or fitness level or injury we can actually help people be successful with their fitness routines.” — Amy “If we're not using those muscles on a regular basis, they become dormant.” — Amy “We can accommodate all ages and all fitness levels.” — Amy “Any time you're moving your body is a good thing.” — Amy “The nice thing about Pilates is how it increases your body awareness.” — Amy “When you're doing good things for your body, you do tend to put better things inside for fuel.” — Amy Brought to You By: Gardner White Furniture Mentioned in This Episode: Club Pilates

Early on in his banking career, David Schuck realized he really needed to be his own boss. He picked up a low cost franchise and hasn't looked back.

You'll hear how he still owns 12 Liberty Tax franchises to this day, using them as a stepping stone to open 27 Club Pilates centers, and why he partnered with a private equity firm to fuel his growth.

When you spend money do you automatically think of how “expensive” something is? Or, do you consider the use of your time and money as investments? In your business and personal life, I urge you to reframe expenditures as investments in your future. ----------------------------------------------- Welcome to Ever Better Today: the daily podcast for creating your optimal business, career, or overall life in ten minutes or less. I'm Lisa Conners Vogt, Executive and Leadership Coach and founder of Ever Better Coaching and Consulting. Let's jump in! ----------------------------------------------- Here are the things you could do to have a significant return on investment: Find ways to enhance your culture by bringing together your team members to create shared experiences. You could do this by conducting a meeting through Zoom or bringing them together for an energizing, in-person meeting. Some companies pay for laptop upgrades and chair upgrades so that employees have good ergonomic equipment at home and in the office. While this may appear as an expense on your financial statements, it's an investment in your employees' well-being and job satisfaction. ----------------------------------------------- My investments in fitness I belong to a gym with excellent amenities. This is an investment in my long-term fitness, not an unnecessary expense. When I injured my ankle this year, I had been going to Club Pilates classes three or four times a week so my flexibility and strength were great. This helped me tremendously with getting around on crutches and being able to stretch to reach things at home. In addition, I made new friends who have greatly enriched my life. My investment in fitness has already paid off tremendously in 2022! After I broke my ankle, I put Club Pilates on pause, I put Equinox on pause, and I hired a trainer to work with one-on-one so that I could keep working on strength and flexibility. This investment in fitness allowed me to keep developing my strength, even with limited mobility. ----------------------------------------------- To learn more about working with Ever Better, send me an email here or book a complimentary call with me here

Want to know one of the things I learned while reading this book? It's ok to say no and let go of commitments that are no longer serving you! Back in January, I launched a book club. We would all read one non-fiction book a month and do a Zoom call to chat about it. My plate is now full and it has become difficult to schedule a Zoom call around multiple people schedules, so I am officially pivoting the book club. Once a month, you will get a “10 takeaways” episode of my favorite 10 lessons from the book. This month, the book was “Dream Big” by Bob Goff. This book was powerful, it has changed my entire life. It reframed how I operate Glowponent, how I lead my team at Club Pilates, and even how I live life in my relationships. What was your biggest takeaway from this book? Let's chat about it on Instagram!

After graduating from USC in 1999, Geisler and a friend saw the potential in the dot com era and created a domain name and website development business, before moving into casino gaming software, then to fitness when he purchased LA Boxing in 2001. Seeing more opportunity in specialized workouts, Geisler bought Club Pilates in early 2015, a small collection of boutique Reformer Pilates studios concentrated in California that has now grown to 900 licensed locations. In 2017, Anthony recognized there was further opportunity with scheduled boutique fitness and formed Xponential Fitness, which is now the curator of leading fitness brands across each vertical of the boutique fitness industry, including Club Pilates, Pure Barre, CycleBar, Row House, StretchLab, AKT, YogaSix, STRIDE, and Rumble.

Do you know what a movement educator is? Neither did we. Luckily, Nandini Basu explains it to us! Nandini also talks about her journey from working in corporate to becoming a Master Pilates instructor. She recalls a time when a student told her that “You are a blessing in my life” and how that feeling didn't match the feelings she was receiving in the corporate world. The question was then…what do I do about this misalignment? Nandini found a grounding in Pilates that she didn't have before. She devoted time and energy into this and made it her passionate hobby. But soon the universe conspired and presented her with opportunities to focus on her hobby and not on corporate. She tells us about the courage it took to make the switch and the great advice she has to help others. Nandini is a Movement Educator and Leadership Development Consultant. As a Movement Educator she teaches group fitness and private clients, primarily in Pilates, and is a Master Trainer for the Club Pilates brand. In her Leadership Development work, Nandini focuses on coaching and facilitation of employee and leadership development programs.

Ellen Italiaander has been a Pilates instructor for more than 20 years. She is one of my instructors at Club Pilates, where she is definitely a fan favorite.

The benefits of Pilates Great for ANY age because it focuses on building strength in a gentle, non-impactful way. Designed to neither overstretch nor under stretch your muscles. Improves posture by working your abdominal muscles. Stretches out the spine, helping with lower back pain. Helps many with hip pain and sciatica. We also discuss the differences between Pilates, how it integrates with other forms of exercise, and how the pandemic has affected the Pilates industry.

Boutique fitness is booming. The luxury – typically more expensive – format of fitness is not only becoming a ubiquitous concept around the globe but is prompting many traditional gym-goers to trade in their memberships in favor of boutique fitness's small group focused, high energy, studio-based workouts. But with an exploding sector, comes a highly competitive business landscape. We caught up with John Kersh, chief international development officer at Xponential Fitness – a leading boutique fitness franchisor with eight brands including the likes of Club Pilates and Pure Barre – to find out what challenges and what boons the boutique field brings. In this episode, Kersh walks us through what impact the coronavirus crisis has had on the industry and whether it will ever be the same again, how Xponential Fitness's brands are starting to reopen studios, and much more.

If you’re looking for a franchise opportunity, consider investing in a business turnaround—an underperforming franchise can make money in the right hands. If you’ve got experience and the necessary drive and willpower, it can be a great opportunity. Listen to this episode as we talk about purchasing underperforming franchises, changes that need to be made to management structure, and how to make a failing franchise profitable. Kevin Easterly got his start in flipping houses and purchasing rental homes and apartments. He was given an opportunity to purchase a few struggling franchise stores. Now he’s created a portfolio of 10 franchise locations with Club Pilates and CycleBar as well as over 105 rental properties. Listen to this episode as we talk about how took underperforming franchises and turned them around. Outline of This Episode [2:30] Kevin’s start in franchising [8:10] The mindset you should have buying into a failing location [12:38] What day #1 at an underperforming location should look like [17:47] The interview process & hiring new staff [22:38] Where Kevin’s investments have taken him [26:34] Raising Capital and structuring a fund [31:55] What Kevin would have done differently [38:38] Advice for those who want to sell and those who want to buy The #1 thing to consider when looking at franchises for sale When Kevin was given the opportunity to purchase a few locations of Club Pilates, he dove in head-first. While he had a good mind for business and this worked out for him, he definitely recommends starting small and building some experience in the industry. There was one thing he learned quickly: Location. Location. Location. You’ve probably heard it said a million times, but in the case of retail fitness, it holds true. His first purchase was in the back corner of a shopping center. If he had done more research ahead of time, he would’ve invested in something in a better location. He ended up spending more money, but learned a lot in the process. When buyouts and business turnaround opportunities align At the time Kevin bought into Club Pilates, the franchisors were pretty absent. There was little support from the top and he had to embrace the ‘fake it til you make it’ mentality. Shortly after he bought-in, the entire franchise was bought out by Exponential and they began to turn things around. They called him out on things he was doing wrong, but also set up good business practices. Here’s the takeaway: If the location is struggling and there’s little to no support it creates a downward spiral. If a franchisee has no support, it trickles down to the management and the staff—creating a snowball effect that will take time to fix. “The fish rots from the head down” isn’t far from the truth. Come in with the mindset that big changes will need to be made, including restaffing. Keep listening as we talk through the issues you may face and how to overcome them. The art of takeovers and makeovers So you’ve talked with the franchisee about why their location isn’t performing well. Perhaps a family issue arose, they had disagreements with their partners, or they just didn’t know how to operate. Whatever the reason, you’ve decided the issues are things that you can overcome. You’re ready to take on a challenge, and make an investment into what could be a great opportunity. So you take the leap and decide to buy out the franchisee. But... now what do you do? Meet with the management, meet with the staff, and truly assess why they are failing. Ask yourself, what’s going right? Who are the key employees holding it together? But remember that you’re coming in to fix a broken system—and it’s time for a makeover. Do whatever you can to revamp the customer experience. More often than not, new ownership is well received because positive changes are being made. Continue with us as we talk about hiring new staff and what you can do to incentivize the workplace. Upping your marketing budget can be a catalyst for improvement Oftentimes when a franchise is failing, they begin to try and cut costs wherever they can. They let staff go, or lower their marketing budget, or cut it all together. These are all big mistakes. Instead of letting good employees go, motivate them. Instead of cutting marketing, invest in it. You have to convince members and customers that things will be getting better, then show them. If you don’t specialize in marketing, add someone to your team who is an expert. Send them to events or bring some to your location. Have them bring in sponsors. Whatever you do, you have to understand that you got a deal on an underperforming location, so it’s going to take a little monetary investment to turn it around.

In this episode we're with the smartest guy in boutique fitness, Anthony Geisler, founder and CEO of Xponential Fitness, to talk about his journey to building the fastest growing fitness aggregate in the industry, and what it takes for a franchisor to support the success of their franchisees.

Remember when we interviewed Bri Boos, Club Pilates franchisee? This week we chatted with Emily Hammett, the woman who inspired Bree’s franchise journey. Listen to hear about Emily’s transition from CFO of a financial services company to the owner of 4 Club Pilates franchises, plus a brand new business that you definitely want to hear about if you’re into pilates! What We Cover * Introducing Emily Hammett * Working with her husband to open 4 Club Pilates locations * Emily's path from accountant to franchisee * The archaic nature of "9 to 5" * Emily's management philosophy * How Emily came across club Pilates * Apprehension before signing the franchise agreement * Deciding to become a multi-unit franchisee * The role of passion in franchise ownership * How the culture changed when Club Pilates came under new ownership * Emily's relationship with her staff and clients * What's next after Club Pilates? * Erin's 3 questions Resources We Mention * Club Pilates San Clemente * Allison Beardsley * Bhakti Fest * Salt & Honey Get Inspired by Emily * "I was very clear on what I was looking for, which is definitely my recommendation for others who are kind of following in that path, is get crystal clear on what it is that you're looking for. And then once you are crystal clear on what that is, when the opportunity presents itself, it's a no brainer." * "Something that was a really difficult transition for me was this idea of this huge laundry list of things that need to get done. My hardest transition in this is realizing that there will never be a day from now until the rest of forever where I get to everything on the to do list." * "For me personally, passion is everything. That's at the heart and soul, at the center of what we're doing. I really do believe in pilates, and the power that it has to heal people's bodies and for the longevity of the rest of their life. I believe in that." * "If I were to go open up a Papa John's, am I super passionate about Papa John's pizza? No. Could I open up one of those and be successful? Absolutely. But, for me, especially going back to my reason why I even made the shift and what I was really looking for, I wanted something that was more fulfilling." What Do You Think?
