After coming back from deployment with the US Army in 2008, Holiday began his functional fitness career. He sustained an injury to his Achilles in 2011 while training for The Games that diverted his path from athletic self-mastery to one of service in 2011. He explored the teachings of world philosophies, religions, nutrition, and modern sciences and dove head first into coaching and business development. There, he was confronted with the common challenges of athletes plateauing in their progress and/or sustaining injuries plus, not to mention member retention, acquisition and staff disengagement issues on the business side. After a few challenging years, several a-ha moments, and thousands of hours of research and development, he and his business partner Sean Buck created a system for gyms who are unwilling to compromise on the quality and integrity of their service. Level Method taps into a powerful emotional connection between members, their gym community, and their collective pursuit of excellence. “The core of everything we do at Level Method is predicated on the concept of long-term, sustained health, and wellness of both the athlete and the gym businesses,” says Holiday. “Our growth isn't due to flashy marketing and big budgets. It's because it actually works, we've obsessively created something so many gym owners, coaches, and athletes have a need for. We give it our all.” Enjoy the show!

In business, the best storyteller wins.One of the first things every entrepreneur does in the Incubator is to map their clients' journey. That foundation helps us plan for better intake and retention. The client is the hero of their story; their coaches are the guides. The Level Method is based in science and math, but it's powerful because it tells a story. As your client moves from Yellow to Red in the Front Squat, they know they've achieved something. Take the best elements of gaming, badging, and martial arts grading, and you have The Level Method.At Two-Brain, we advocate services and products that can measurably improve your gym. We're not interested in dumping more ideas on you; we want to share things that WORK.The immediate benefit that most gym owners see from adding Level Method is an increase in 1:1 training revenue. But long-term, we're tracking LEG and adherence too, because we know that a sticky story draws people back to the campfire.We've been sharing Nate's story since the start, and we're big believers. In 2016 Nathan developed what has become known as the Level Method. This is a completely unique, data-driven system that offers clients unparalleled insight into their fitness and progression. After implementing this tool at his own gym, Nathan has shared this powerful tool with many other gyms now providing unimaginably results for their members.

今回のまとめ:研究開発税制を効果的に活用していくためには、その減税効果に関する情報を企業内部で広く共有しておくことが肝要です。 今回はイノベーション・マネジメントの観点から活用できる制度として、研究開発税制をとりあげてみたいと思います。 多くの先進国で、自国のイノベーションを促進するための様々な制度が導入されているわけですが、企業がそれらの制度を活用していく上では、その政策目的を理解しておくことが重要ではないかと思います。そこで研究開発税制という制度が必要とされる理由を振り返っておくと、経済学的には概ね2つの理由が上げられてきたことが分かります。 1つは、研究開発の成果である技術知識からもたらされる利益は、研究開発に投資した者が私的利益として専有することが困難で、利益の一部が社会的利益として流出する性質を持っているということです。この点については、以前、「公共財」というキーワードを紹介した際にも説明しました。研究開発税制は、研究開発に応じて一定の税額を控除すること等によって、そのような利益の流出を埋め合わせる意味を持っている訳です。 もう1つの理由は、研究開発という活動は不確実性が高いために、外部から資金調達を行うことが困難であり、そのため自己資金を主要な財源にせざるを得ないという点にあります。この点は、資本市場での売り難さという性質によるものであり、経済学では「流動性制約」と呼ばれています。研究開発税制による減税は、同額の内部留保をもたらすため、流動性制約を緩和する効果がある訳です。 さて、このような理由で先進各国に導入されている研究開発税制には、いくつかの種類があります。 1つは、研究開発費の即時償却制度というもので、これは研究開発費の発生時に全額損金に計上することを認める制度です。一方、研究開発用の固定資産について、通常の減価償却資産より有利な法廷償却率や、短縮された耐用年数の適用を認める制度もあります。 もう1つは、研究開発税額控除制度と呼ばれるもので、当該年度に納める法人税額から研究開発費の一定割合に当たる額を控除する制度です。この制度は、控除額の基準を何にするのかによって、更に2つの制度に分かれています。1つは、当期の研究開発費が一定の基準額を超過した場合にのみ税額控除を認める制度で、Incremental Methodと呼ばれています。もう1つは、超過の有無に関わりなく、毎年の研究開発費の一定割合を控除する制度で、Level Methodと呼ばれています。 では、我が国の制度について見ておきます。まず研究開発税制の目的は、「民間企業の研究開発投資を維持・拡大することにより、イノベーションの加速を通じた我が国の成長力・国際競争力を強化すること」と定義されています。 我が国では、1967年に増加試験研究費税額控除制度が創設されて以来、暫くの間、このIncremental Methodによる制度を軸とする時期が続いていたのですが、度々の改正を経て、現在の制度は大きく様変わりしています。Incremental Methodによる税制の恩恵は、継続的に研究開発費を増加させている企業でなければ受けられないため、研究開発費が伸び悩む景気後退の局面では、制度的な存在理由が薄れていった訳です。 平成30年4月1日現在でみると、我が国の研究開発税制は4つの制度から成り立っています。第1は「試験研究費の総額に係る税額控除制度」で、これはLevel Methodにより法人税相当額の25%を限度に税額を控除する制度です。第2は「中小企業技術基盤強化税制」で、これは「資本金又は出資金が1億円以下の法人」、「常勤の従業員が1,000人以下の法人」、「従業員1,000人以下の個人事業主」といった定義に該当する中小企業に対する優遇措置で、総額に係る税額控除制度との選択制になっています。第3は「特別試験研究に係る税額控除制度」で、この特別試験研究とは大学や国の試験研究機関等と行う共同研究等を意味していることから、「オープン・イノベーション型」とも呼ばれています。第4に「試験研究費の額が増加した場合等の税額控除制度」があり、これは試験研究費の額が過去3年を含む平均売上高の10%を超える場合に、控除上限の上乗せ等を認める制度で、「高水準型」とも呼ばれていますが、平成30年度末までの時限措置になっています。
Today we are talking about a very productive task that you can do for any business: mapping a client’s journey. This is all about determining what process you want a client to go through and what experiences you want them to have with your business. Today is all about the big picture and it is also an interactive session so be sure to have a whiteboard or notepad ready to write your own client story!Data shows that the best way to start a client’s journey with your business is through an introductory program like a "no-sweat intro." Here are Catalyst, we want people to come in for an initial consultation where we can determine what the client’s needs are and we can recommend which services are most applicable to them.Some of the most important questions to ask at this point are: What brings you in? What have you done in the past that you liked? What are the things you have done in the past that you didn’t like? The purpose of this part of the story is to point to a common goal that you can team up with the client and conquer together.Another important part of the initial conversation is to make the client comfortable with the gym and feel like they can do the movements and exercises necessary to feel the part. Perhaps they do not need to feel crippled by the most intense workout your gym has to offer, but they do need to at least taste intensity before joining their first group workout. Part of the on-ramp session needs to address what it will take to get the client to this point and be integrated into the gym.The next important component of the client journey is to review the logistics of their first training session. Do they book this session directly with you? When do they pay you for this initial session? Do you give them a gift for joining the gym? Do they need to sign a waiver before joining your gym? These are all tasks that need to be considered while the client joins your gym.Additionally, other important questions that should be continually asked of your client are as follows: What should the client do (It is your job as a coach to tell them exactly what to do!) What should the client know How should the client be rewarded (Checkout BadgeOS)FREE DOWNLOAD: Client Journey Map Template Mapping out your client journey will solve a lot of your business' onboarding problems. Start from the top down and ask yourself what kind of experience do you want your clients to have, what services will satisfy these experiences, and how do you want those services to be delivered.

Episode 101 – Level Up with Nathan Holiday & Josh Price This is a VERY visual episode, so I'm going to include the video recording of the discussion. It's not edited or produced (as the podcast always is) but it's worth an hour in front of a screen to see it. If you visited CrossFit.com in 2006 (as I did,) you would have found the original CrossFit message boards. And one of the most-discussed concepts was the idea of a "belt system" for progressions in CrossFit. Many of us sketched out our own, but none were ever perfect, and most weren't even usable. Until now. I think Nathan Holiday has done it. Even Nate failed when he tried it the first time. And the second. But what he has now in the Level Method not only shows what clients need to do to be progressing, but also gives coaches a way to create meaningful moments in the clients life cycle. The Level Method gives you a system for rewarding "moments" in the client's life cycle. I recommend reading "The Power of Moments" by Chip and Dan Heath as soon as you can. Make that your next book. Today we dive deep into the Level Method. Nate is very knowledgeable on the coaching side, and we get technical about energy systems, biomechanics and progressions. After a full half hour of nerd talk, Josh Price joins us to talk about his experience with using the Level Method in his gym and how it has helped his CrossFit gym grow.

Today's Topic - A system for tracking the Technology Level in a Fantasy world. As I have evolved as a Worldbuilder. I have always struggled with how to track technology level. The GURPS tech level system. It is very simple and might work for many people. However, it never quite worked for me in my fantasy setting. I believe that the technology of an area can grow up at different rates than they do on earth. We have seen evidence of this on earth. So, I spent way too much time modifying it to cover basic spheres of technology. I have identified nine basic spheres of technology. The basic area’s I believe cover all the basics of areas of technology what are used in what we call civilizations. I also add magic to track its progression. I track magic because I believe that the inclusion of magic can change the rate at which technologies grow. Now, take a minute and join Michael and me as we look at the Simple, Succinct Technology Level Method. Enjoy the episode and comment below to tell us what we missed.
