Craig Swanson can pull back the veil of wizardry on founding CreativeLive as well as partnering to push course creators like Sue Bryce, Susan Stripling, and Kaisa Keranen to the multi-million dollar mark, and even acquisition.A couple particular anecdotes that he could cover:Listening as a Superpower to Scale – with KaisaFit, Craig learned that listening is truly your biggest superpower to scale a business. When you implement a strategy that gathers massive amounts of feedback from your customers, they are essentially handing you the keys to growth. He could break down how he helped sell $1,135,812 of KaisaFits' $29 Mobility Program in 18 months for your listeners; walking them through their aggressive review strategy, learnings from a 0.8% refund rate, and pricing considerations.How to Scale Without Swelling – When Craig and the team at Sue Bryce Education underwent due diligence for acquisition, they failed (the first time). The standout criticism was that they weren't preparing the business to run without the flagship founder, Sue Bryce. Instead, they were adding complexity that required critical participation from her and leadership. Craig would love to help your listeners learn from this case, and his time growing CreativeLive, to share how entrepreneurs can scale without swelling, building a business that lifts weight from the original founder(s).Where to find Craig SwansonWebsite: https://craigswanson.org/ | https://www.creativelive.comLinkedIn: Craig SwansonTech slackklaviyo.com (email marketing)metorik.com (sales dashboard + analytics)boast.io (video testimonials)relayfi.com (online banking)motionmailapp.com (email countdown timers)SPONSORThis episode is sponsored by Entire Productions- Creating events (both in-person and virtual) that don't suck! and Entire Productions Marketing- carefully curated premium gifting and branded promo items.

Craig Swanson is an entrepreneur, CEO, business coach, and founder of CreativeLive, a free-to-use, live online global classroom designed to educate entrepreneurs. He also likens himself as a “secret weapon” as a partner for many online businesses, such as KaisaFit- a fitness movement founded by fitness influencer, Kaisa Keranen. Craig's expertise is focused in helping businesses hit—and succeed beyond—the multi-million-dollar mark. Craig is a dealmaker at the core of all his business endeavors as a serial entrepreneur. This entrepreneurial inclination began at a young age for Craig, having started his own large paper delivery route at the age of 12. As his paper route grew, he knew he wanted to franchise out, and decided to build his own ice cream truck--attached to his bicycle! Young Craig took his business seriously, going so far as to get the appropriate wholesaler licensing. With his creative look at his paper route and desire to expand, Young Craig was able to multitask his business into selling ice cream, while he delivered his 200 papers. Craig sees business as an opportunity for creativity; for instance, not many children would see an opportunity to deliver newspapers from their homemade bicycle ice cream truck! Craig is creative, original, and always seeking new ways to improve things that already exist. Creativity in the Deal The biggest takeaway from Craig's young inauguration into entrepreneurialism, with his combination paper route/ice cream truck, is a question that even highly skilled adult entrepreneurs fail to ask themselves: “I already have a customer base, how can I capitalize more on this customer base, and offer them something new?” Entrepreneurs, at all stages, need to find the same child-like creativity with their business, and should constantly be evaluating the following: Is there a way to further capitalize off my current business and existing customer base? How can I expand my current business to enhance profitability and visibility? Creativity doesn't just include coming up with a product or how you will market your product, it also includes how you're going to build your customer base. For Craig, the creativity behind the product is easy; what he sees as the biggest challenge is how to market it to potential customers, and build that loyal customer base. Creativity in business also includes how to expand or exit your business. For Craig, he sold his first IT business, CreativeLive, to ex-employees in 2010. One might think that making a semi-internal deal such as this doesn't take much creativity, but it's not as clear cut as, for example, an external deal. By selling his business to his ex-employees, some of which had become his competition in the market, he had to work closely with these ex-employees, and build a creative deal. In fact, Craig had a pre-existing deal with an MSP (Manage Service Provider) built to sell his business externally to that third-party buyer; however, he decided he would rather sell to his ex-employees who were interested in buying his business, so he took that initial deal and creatively re-worked it in order to work for the “internal” purchase. For Craig, his first deal wouldn't have gone so smoothly had he not been smart about his employee relationships. Ultimately, his business was sold to former employees of his company, who upon exiting his company, had signed non-compete contracts – as is a relatively standard practice for most businesses. However, even with the employees leaving the company, and signing non-compete contracts, Craig was smart enough to maintain positive relationships with these former employees, especially when they entered the same market in their own capacities. Because of these wise moves regarding his former employees, when it came time for him to sell his company, his former employees approached him to purchase it. He was able to work a creative deal, which was beneficial to all: The ex-employees were able to gain a business they knew. Craig was able to pass on his 25-year-old business to people he trusted. This creative deal allowed Craig to support his family, while he made his transition into his next step in his entrepreneurial career. Playing “Cut-throat; Win-Win” Your mindset and attitude within business is just as important as maintaining good relationships and being creative in your dealmaking. If you expect to lose, you're effectively playing to lose, and no one wants to lose in their business deals. By operating with, as Craig calls it, a “cut-throat; win-win” mindset, Craig is always proceeding like he will succeed with the deal, no matter how bleak it may look. He believes in knowing what you want, pushing the limits to what you need, but never pushing beyond the limits. Ergo, “cut-throat; win-win”: Pushing for what one needs and pushing just a bit harder, so something is on the table for everyone at the end. Confidence is key, but don't let your confidence turn into overzealousness or arrogance. A less than desirable, common occurrence in business, and especially in dealmaking, is overconfidence or worse-straight arrogance. An example of arrogance impeding business would be: A CEO promises a rising employee equity and other benefits. The employee continues to rise the ranks, but never receives the promises made. The employee then leaves the company they started with, taking clients, and leaving behind animosity. This is where the importance of mindset and attitude plays a vital role. Had the CEO not gotten overzealous and continued to make promises they couldn't (or wouldn't) keep to a rising star within their company, they'd have never lost a valuable employee, clients, or created a competitor with a negative relationship. Don't let your ego get in the way. Be confident, know what you want, and certainly push for it, but do not become so arrogant, you abandon your personal principles and become someone so willing to get what you want, you damage your credibility, or worse, damage another person. Evolving Your Decision-Making Skills Craig recalls back to his 25-year IT business, and how he built it to be a business where the boss didn't have to work. How various market dips, and personal business choices required him to essentially sell off his business bit-by-bit to get by, until he finally made the deal with the ex-employees to buy his business. By the time Craig got to the point of starting his next business, he brought in a partner with a 51/49 split ownership. While this worked well, having a virtually equal partnership posed some issues when it came to disagreements on decisions. This is where they brought in a silent CEO with 5% ownership. In bringing in a 3rd party with just 5% ownership, they allowed themselves: A built-in dealbreaker Someone who kept both primary owners responsible and on task Someone who was able to keep both primary owners in a state of due diligence in decision-making More balance when assessing priorities and interests A valuable lesson Craig learned from involving this 3rd party with 5% ownership is that being a creative person can sometimes be a detriment to your business. Just because he had a chronic desire to create and do, does not mean the business needed those things pushed upon it. By having this evolved paradigm for decision-making within their company, Craig was being held accountable and responsible for good decision-making, and making sure his personal priorities and interests were not forced upon the company's priorities or interests. Knowing Your Strengths and EOS® Any successful entrepreneur learns that finding a balance between relationships, decision-making skills and creativity is going to be your golden ticket to strategically and wisely hitting that $1mil a year landmark. Craig's current business is using EOS® (Entrepreneurial Operating System). EOS® is a designed set of concepts and tools with the intent to: Be a complete business management system Empower entrepreneurs to reach their business goals Improve the lives of every individual the business affects. (source: https://usewhale.io/blog/entrepreneurial-operating-system-eos-what-is-it-and-how-to-use-it-to-scale-your-company/) Craig utilizes the EOS® in order to do what he does best: be hands-on. He integrates with emerging entrepreneurs to become a de facto operator to build a business, help them hit the $1mil milestone, and then take his exit to help another emerging business. The important part here is that Craig knows what his strengths and talents are, therefore after he helps businesses build to that $1mil a year milestone, he transitions onto the next entrepreneurial business; he's talented at operating to that milestone, but beyond that point is where his talents and skills become less useful to the company he's helped build, and thus takes a more advisory position, such as a board position. For Craig, the most satisfying experience is building the company to a point where it doesn't need habitual micromanagement. For others, it may be stepping into the operation once the company is much larger, it's all about knowing your strengths, skills and talents, and using them to be the most beneficial to the business being built. This harkens back to the lesson of never letting your ego get the better of you. He recognizes that his strengths are at their best and most joyful for him at the early stages of operation. While he knows he is capable of operating a business beyond his personal $1mil mark that is not where he is at his best or most passionate so he chooses to be self-aware and to not allow his ego to get in his way; he chooses to make sure his strengths are applied in the best way for the business, and not just for him.

“How about all of the people that are on the sideline of the fitness industry? We know that we're not doing our job because the world, the US, has never been in a more unhealthy place… And I think, as an industry, we need to take ownership of that… “10% of the world is in fitness. How will we reach the missing 90% that are still sitting on the couch and don't think that fitness is for them? They have a body, they should be moving. We need to communicate differently to them. We need to figure out how to reach them.” Kaisa talks with Brad Jensen on The Key Nutrition Podcast about her passion for helping people to just start moving.

For far too long, many of us have defined ourselves (or worse our self worth) by the size of our thighs and the circumference of our waistline, setting ourselves up for a lifelong battle with our bodies and an underlying discontent with who we are based upon a largely unattainable “ideal.” That can get worse during the menopause transition when our body shape starts to shift. This week's guest, Kaisa Keranen, AKA KaisaFit, is on a mission to change that. As she says: “What I look like does not define who I am as a woman and what I'm doing in this world.” Amen to that and all the wisdom she dishes out this week. Kaisa is a longtime athlete and has a Masters in Exercise Science, Sports Performance and Injury Prevention. She is the owner ofhttps://kaisafit.com/ ( KaisaFit), and ​​has built a community of over 1 million people on Instagram. She has been featured in digital magazines including Vogue, Shape, SELF, Harper's Bazaar, Oxygen, and ESPNW. Kaisa was named by Greatist as one of the most influential people in health and fitness in 2015, the same year she was asked by Michelle Obama to be one of the go-to trainers for her “Let's Move” digital campaign. You can find Kaisa on social media as https://www.instagram.com/kaisafit/?hl=en (KaisaFit) where she educates, motivates, and empowers people to https://www.instagram.com/justmove/?hl=en (#JustMove.) **Support the Podcast** InsideTracker: 20% off at http://insidetracker.com/feisty (insidetracker.com/feisty) Nuun Hydration: 30% off at https://nuun.life/feisty-blog (nuunlife.com)  with the code HITPLAY  Previnex: 15% off your first order with code HITPLAY at https://www.previnex.com/ (https://www.previnex.com/)  Bonafide: 20% off your first purchase when you subscribe to any product with code HITPLAY at https://hellobonafide.com/ (https://hellobonafide.com/) Nutrisense: Use code "hitplay" at https://nutrisense.io/hitplay (nutrisense.io/hitplay) for $30 off any subscription to the CGM program This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podsights - https://podsights.com/privacy Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy

“If we were to take a moment and get honest with ourselves, we all think that when we change our body, when we look the ideal way that we have in our head, we all think there are all these other things that are going to go with it. “For me, I'm a single woman. I think if I change my body, maybe I'm going to meet my partner. We all think these things. It's not true! It's literally not true! There are so many other things that need to be addressed on the other side of thinking that you need to look a different way. “And those are the things that we have to start talking about. Because when you start running towards the things that bring you joy in life, you forget about (for me) the extra big arms or whatever. Those thoughts are not as loud. You don't think about it as much. “It never goes away. Never fucking goes away. But it means less.” Kaisa talks with Joy with Girls Gone WOD caring for our bodies, and that health isn't about what we look like.

“Most people get into movement and fitness because they want to change the way that they look. And so it's a negative relationship with movement right out of the gate. Movement is almost a form of punishment… But I was absolutely not going to co-sign that belief. I was going to teach them something different. I was going to give them an opportunity to explore their body and get connected with their body. I was absolutely never going to co-sign it by measuring them, or by high-fiving weight loss. “What you look like is not important, it's how you feel. It's how you feel inside of your body. And it's how you feel about what your body can do. And that was constantly the message that I reinforced. And I get it, it's a hard sell! It's a hard thing for people to grasp. But movement is such an incredible tool that people started to understand it. And soon, what I started to see, especially with my female clients, is they started to be really proud of maybe doing one full pushup, or being able to do a weighted squat… And they saw reinforcement from me about those things. And slowly, they started to value what their body was doing for them rather than just valuing, you know, what it looked like.” Kaisa talks with Katie Hake about healing our relationship with movement, and finding fun and innovative ways to move our bodies.
