Your social media feed can be an invitation into your brand world, or a fancy display case. You didn't open a studio to perform. You opened it to help people feel stronger, steadier, more themselves. If your posts impress colleagues but the person walking in after a long day doesn't see themselves in it, something's out of alignment. In this conversation, we put the member back at the center, so your words feel like a welcome, your visuals feel like a promise, and your feed feels like the doorway into a room where they belong.   Shout-outs Kink Pilates: @kink_pilates; @kinkpilates_academy RE:FORM LAB: @reformlabpilates   Book a North Star Session fitcarma.com/northstar

#292 Today's episode is a little different and a little extra special. Melissa and I just celebrated our 17th wedding anniversary, so before the kids woke up, we hit record and reflected on what we've learned about marriage, money, and gratitude. We kept it short, sweet and simple. Just two people talking about what's helped us stay grounded and grow together over the years. Here's what we touched on: Being on the Same Page: Why communication and shared vision matter more than perfection. Melissa shared some tactics we use to stay aligned. Focus: How staying focused on the main thing or goal (even when it's counter-cultural) has shaped our life and finances. Have Fun & Be Grateful: Why money is simply a tool, and how we've learned to enjoy it without taking any of it for granted. We wrap things up by sharing what we're most grateful for about each other. (Fair warning, it gets a little sappy.) Whether you're married, single, or somewhere in between, we hope this short episode encourages you to align your money with what matters most.

Very tactical episode today all around the 3 phases you'll go through if you intend to scale your online fitness coaching business. There are no skipping steps here and I'll explain why and what to do at each phase.   Time Stamps:   (0:23) If You're New Here (1:03) The Stages (1:20) The Starter Phase (5:53) The Growth Phase (7:15) The Scaling Phase ----------

#286 This week's episode is extra special. Melissa joins me for a conversation we originally had on Marriage Therapy Radio. Together we share how our marriage has grown from survival mode into something we both call a “ten.” You'll hear about the systems we use to stay connected (date nights, family meetings, Sunday check-ins), the role of faith in deepening our relationship, and how moments of crisis shaped us for the better. We even talk about Jiu Jitsu and how the mat taught me lessons I carry into our marriage. If you're looking for hope and practical takeaways to strengthen your relationship, this one's for you. Key Takeaways: “Ten” doesn't mean perfect—it means committed. Systems build connection: date nights, marriage meetings, family rhythms. Initiating connection is a skill Melissa had to practice. Transformation starts within—personal growth changes the relationship. Faith deepens when life gets harder. Jiu Jitsu taught humility, discipline, and emotional control.

On this insightful episode of the “NASM-CPT Podcast,” host, and NASM Master Instructor, Rick Richey, tackles a nuanced listener question from Ellie about the financial realities of going independent as a personal trainer. Rick dives into the classic advice that many entrepreneurs should expect to reinvest their profits for the first three to five years and puts this into perspective for trainers considering going out on their own versus opening a brick-and-mortar facility. He breaks down what it actually costs to work independently, and why it usually doesn't take years to “pay yourself back”—unlike running a physical gym, which often requires a significant upfront investment and years of profit reinvestment. Rick also sheds light on important yet often confusing tax responsibilities for self-employed trainers, gives practical advice on setting aside money for business expenses and retirement, and shares stories from his own experience growing multiple gyms in New York City. With relatable anecdotes—like his wife asking, “When do we get to keep the money?”—and actionable tips (hint: get a business credit card just for work expenses), Rick makes the numbers approachable. He also details the pros and cons, both financial and lifestyle-wise, of working for yourself versus for someone else. If you're considering taking the leap into independent training or even opening your own facility, this episode is packed with real-world financial advice, hard truths, and encouragement for trainers at every stage of entrepreneurship.
