Podcasts about obvious choice

#269 I recently had the pleasure of being interviewed by Kate Martin, and we had an honest, in-depth conversation about my journey, from having my car repossessed to paying off almost $500,000 in debt, and eventually helping other fitness professionals get financially strong. We covered a lot including the exact steps I took to climb out of $130K in debt, how I went on to run two gym locations, and why I'm so passionate about coaching other fit pros on money. Kate also brought up my mention in Jonathan Goodman's new book The Obvious Choice, which was a fun full-circle moment. In the episode, we talk about: • The wake-up call that started it all • Why separating personal and business finances is a must • Planning for taxes and pricing your services properly • How to make smart hiring decisions using a simple 3-scenario approach • And how the self-discipline we build in fitness applies directly to building wealth If you're in the fitness industry (or any service-based biz) and want to feel more confident with your money, I think you'll get a lot from this one. Listen now and take your business to the next level! Connect with Kate here: www.katemartinmentor.com

I also have posts that have less than a thousand likes. And I can tell you that the posts with less than a thousand likes drive more business than the posts with 30 or 40,000. Now, does that mean that neither is valuable? I believe that we need three types of content. I believe that we need viral, value, and depth-based content.” — Jonathan Goodman, 00:25:59 → 00:27:08Content as a Savings Account: “Most of the time, everything that's working for you will be bubbling underneath the surface, invisible to the eye. You don't know when that inflection point is going to hit… You have to think of content as a savings account and you have to think of content as a way to primarily nurture and convert people and leads that are generated elsewhere.” — Jonathan Goodman, 00:21:10 → 00:21:56Show notes powered by Castmagic---Have any questions about the show or topics you'd like us to explore further?Shoot us a DM; we'd love to hear from you.Want the weekly TL;DR of tips delivered to your mailbox?Check out our newsletter here.Follow us for content, clips, giveaways, & updates!Castmagic InstagramCastmagic TwitterCastmagic LinkedIn  ---Blaine Bolus - Co-Founder of CastmagicRamon Berrios - Co-Founder of CastmagicJonathan Goodman - Founder of Personal Trainer Development Center
