In mid-2020, Eric Roza bought CrossFit, Inc. from CrossFit Founder and former CEO, Greg Glassman. The sale was first announced on June 24, 2020, just a few weeks after Glassman had resigned as CEO amidst a swirl of controversy. Eric took over as CEO at a critical time for a membership organization known for its cult-like following and devoted members. He brings tremendous experience and passion to CrossFit. Robbie Kellman Baxter invited Eric to the show because she's been fascinated by CrossFit since her sister and brother-in-law discovered it in 2010. She wrote about how CrossFit develops superusers, members so committed and passionate that they spend their own money and time for the good of the brand, in her book, The Membership Economy. In this episode, Eric and Robbie talk about how to right a membership culture after a crisis, walking that fine line of rebuilding the organization while not losing what had made it great, and bringing together a broad group of stakeholders around a new forever promise.

FINRA’s 2019 Budget Summary provides a unique view into FINRA’s budget for the current calendar year – providing greater transparency not just into FINRA’s operations, but also the self-regulatory organization’s financial guiding principles. The 2019 Budget Summary includes no fee rate increase for member firms, but projects a shortfall of $185.8 million – the result of a projected increase in operating expenses while revenues stay largely flat. But FINRA Chief Financial and Administrative Officer Todd Diganci isn’t worried. He explains how it is all part of FINRA’s long-term financial plan. On this episode of FINRA Unscripted, we learn more. Resources mentioned in this episode: Financial Reports and Policies 2019 Budget Summary
As a self-regulatory organization, FINRA is uniquely positioned to gain meaningful insights from its members to ensure FINRA’s regulatory programs are working for everyone. Tasked with maintaining that relationship and keeping an open dialogue is FINRA’s Office of Member Relations and Education. The Member Relations and Education team routinely engages with firms through conferences, roundtables, boot camps and more. And because they recognize that regulation isn’t simple or easy, they offer a host of educational tools and resources. On this episode of FINRA Unscripted, Chip Jones, FINRA’s Senior Vice President of Member Relations and Education, joins us to tell us more about how FINRA works to make regulation smarter.
