The bond market is repricing rapidly, with the 30-year Treasury yield topping 5.5% as investors abandon hopes of near-term rate cuts. This shift to a 'higher for longer' regime has massive implications for stocks, real estate, and retirement portfolios.Today's Stocks & Topics: Comcast Corporation (CMCSA), Market Wrap, Franklin FTSE Brazil ETF (FLBR), Wall Street Analysts, Fidelity Real Estate Income Fund (FRIFX), Bond Market Flips to 'Higher for Longer' — What That Means for Every Asset Class, iShares 0-3 Month Treasury Bond ETF (SGOV), iShares Ultra Short Duration Bond Active ETF (ICSH), Stock Market vs. Owning Rental Properties, Planet Fitness, Inc.

Send us Fan MailSomebody getting a scholarship should be a win for everyone, so why does it sometimes turn into the most frustrating kind of loss? We sit with a tough moment on the Rebuild Scholarship: a recipient takes the free 12-week transformation, cancels repeatedly, then disappears when it's time to finish the documentary and own the process. It's disappointing, but it's also a real-world lesson about human nature, consistency, and what people do when the pressure to follow through finally shows up.We dig into the psychology of pricing and perceived value, including why paying for coaching changes behavior and why “free” can signal “optional.” Anthony breaks down the Planet Fitness model and how low-cost memberships often work because people stop showing up, then we flip that idea on its head and talk about what actually drives fitness results, weight loss, and lifestyle change. Along the way, Anthony shares the personal backstory that fueled the scholarship in the first place: a serious neck injury, years of dead ends, and the mindset shift behind “fitness is medicine” for chronic pain, mobility, and mental health.Then we get practical. If we're going to run a scholarship again, we need a structure that protects the mission and rewards commitment. Our takeaway is simple: don't say yes unless you mean it, and if you're building a free program, add real accountability so the right person finishes strong. If this hit home, subscribe, share it with someone who needs the push, and leave a review. Where do you stand: should “free” programs come with consequences?Support the showIf you're a business owner, entrepreneur, manager, or leader trying to build a stronger team and grow your company, this episode is for you.

¿Y si una parte del beneficio de una empresa dependiera de que su cliente no tenga ganas de darse de baja? Esta semana, Arturo Pina recorre un negocio bastante menos sofisticado de lo que parece: cobrar por las cosas que dejamos para mañana. Los agentes de inteligencia artificial nos sirven de punto de partida para preguntarnos cuánto hay de fidelidad y cuánto de inercia en una ventaja competitiva. De Meta y Planet Fitness pasamos a la letra pequeña de Live Nation, los incentivos de DraftKings y la factura de construir centros de datos. También hablamos de bonos y diésel; de Costco, McDonald's y Peloton; de la competencia en obesidad y de las operaciones de Endeavor, Royal Caribbean y MGM. El hilo conductor es una pregunta: ¿quién conserva el margen cuando comparar, reclamar, cancelar o negociar resulta más fácil?

Jon Canarick has spent 25 years investing in gyms, and he's still trying to explain why doctors won't write a prescription for exercise. As Managing Partner at North Castle Partners, he helped build Equinox, turned around Curves, and backed Barry's long before boutique fitness was a category. Canarick walks through what actually changed in fitness private equity since he joined North Castle in 2001, from the corporate franchise wave that built 24 Hour Fitness and LA Fitness to Planet Fitness's pricing model, which he credits with pulling more Americans into gym memberships than anything else in the last quarter century. He details the failed attempt to combine Curves with Jenny Craig and a Cleveland Clinic nutrition program, a bet he calls a real failure despite the medical credibility behind it. Canarick also breaks down why GLP-1 drugs are reshaping the industry at the premium end through brands like Monarch and Miora, and why an LEK study showing 30% of big box gym members also pay for boutique fitness complicates the usual story about a shrinking middle class of gyms. Jon Canarick is Managing Partner at North Castle Partners, a private equity firm focused exclusively on healthy, active, and sustainable living businesses, where he has sat on the boards of Equinox, Curves, Barry's, Therabody, and SLT.

The Most Haunted City On Earth | Presented by The Savannah Underground
Join the Parajunkie Fam! Welcome to the Haunted City Cinema Club! The bonus series where the Most Haunted City on Earth crew turns off the ghost hunting and turns on the horror movies.This time we're breaking down PASSENGER (yes, just Passenger ... no "The," we checked). A couple ditches their old life for the van life, picks up a set of three scratches on their vehicle, and finds out the hard way that something is riding along with them.Madison and JT had a blast with it. Chris found his new favorite Hitcher-style road horror. Michael saw it opening weekend in May, hated it, then had to watch it a second time for this episode.We get into:Why the opening scene feels like a completely different (and much better) movieThe trailer problem: getting sold one film and handed anotherVan life horror, the Gabby Petito of it all, and whether hobo code even belongs hereDiane, the greatest exposition dump in modern horror... and the best death in the movieThe St. Christopher lore the movie completely fumbled (including the part where he has a dog head)Plot holes: the medals, the necklace, the Planet Fitness escape she never tookChimney Rock is not on a beach, and JT got married there so he would know lolBasic cable horror as a palate cleanser after months of body horror and psychological dreadFinal ratings... and why "my head says 4, my heart says 8" is a completely valid reviewOur scores land everywhere from a 2/10 to an 8/10, so tell us in the comments: what would you give Passenger?
unning has a way of meeting us exactly where we are—even when we feel completely broken. On this week's episode of Your Story, Your Why, host Letty Lundquist sits down with close friend and World Marathon Majors finisher Patti Shawber.After losing a decade of her life to severe drug addiction through her 30s and early 40s, Patti woke up one day exhausted and ready for change. After achieving sobriety, she stepped onto a Planet Fitness treadmill in her mid-40s, walking at 4.0 mph for 45 minutes to complete her very first 5K distance. What started as a way to reclaim her health evolved into a global running journey that took her across the world to earn her Six Star World Marathon Majors Medal before turning 60.Patti opens up about channeling the intense energy of addiction into endurance sports, navigating fear and imposter syndrome, balancing competitive goals with aging, and why she holds onto the memory of her lowest moments so she never has to go back.

What matters more in a physical therapy hire: clinical skill, reliability, values, or fit?In this episode of PT Breakfast Club, Dave Kittle and Tony Maritato talk through the uncomfortable parts of hiring that rarely make it into job descriptions.Tony starts with a question every clinic owner eventually faces: what do you do with someone who is great with patients, but unreliable? Dave shares his interview process, including phone screens, Zoom calls, in-person skills assessments, reference checks, and the small behavioral details that can reveal whether a candidate is actually serious.The conversation centers on one memorable example: a candidate who took a scheduled interview call while driving. For Dave, that was the end of the road. Not because the person was evil, but because the moment revealed something about attention, preparation, and how seriously they treated the opportunity.Tony and Dave also explore whether employers should clearly spell out expectations or leave some things unsaid to see what a candidate does naturally. They talk about new grads versus experienced hires, hiring for core values, ambition alignment, long-term fit, and why one person can either elevate a clinic or quietly disrupt everything.Then the episode turns toward outpatient ortho and the future of physical therapy. Dave brings up a LinkedIn post from an orthopedic surgeon who says he prescribes less formal PT than he did 10 years ago. Tony responds with a bigger question: what if some routine outpatient ortho care is not the best use of insurance dollars?That leads to a spicy conversation about joint replacements, bundled payments, home exercise programs, AI, cash pay, private practice, premium models, scalable healthcare, Equinox, Planet Fitness, and where PT might be headed next.This episode features Dave Kittle and Tony Maritato.
Paul Lunter didn't start out trying to build a wellness empire — he was in construction, watched someone in pain step in and out of the shower for relief, and built a machine instead. Thirty-seven years later, that machine (HydroMassage) has grown into WellnessSpace Brands: five product lines, 400 million sessions delivered, and installations in 50+ countries at Planet Fitness, Life Time, Gold's Gym, and beyond. Lunter walks Eric Malzone through the company's medical-market origins, the R&D behind machines like the PolarWave Dry Plunge and the company's newest RedZone sauna which uses no wood, and why he thinks recovery is a permanent industry shift rather than another fitness fad.

It's Thursday and that means a 2 Minute Financial Drill! Now that we're slowly creeping into the fall and the pending restart of the HALO Academy in a new format (more on that later) keep an eye out for these. This one is clipped from Pete Moore's panel with Brian Smith at Piper Sandler at this past Athletech News ATN Summit in NYC. ● PureGym US, Crunch area developers, and Planet Fitness area developers are the three strategic buyers actively circling independent clubs right now. ● These buyers are contractually obligated, through franchise development milestones, to open in a market whether or not an independent operator agrees to sell. ● Irrational development, i.e. overclubbing a market, is described as the biggest risk to profitability for independent operators and investors alike. ● If a strategic buyer reaches out, engaging is recommended over ignoring the outreach, since they will build around an operator who doesn't transact.
Youth Powerlifting Records and the Quarter-Rep Problem Phil Stevens opens with a recap of the USPA Midwest Junior Championship, where he coached five lifters including his son Odin (age 11), who broke the national squat record by 50 pounds with a 243-pound squat and just missed a 282.5-pound national deadlift record attempt after opening at 252. Also competing were 15-year-old Max (6'3", 250 lbs, chasing a 600-pound deadlift), newer lifter Ethan, Phil's 18-year-old daughter, and 19-year-old Cooper, who squatted 480 and benched 315 but missed a deadlift record at 582. The hosts then pivot to Phil's ongoing recovery from a torn meniscus and the increasingly aggressive nature of modern rehab and PT protocols compared to decades past. The back half of the show turns into a debate sparked by Lonnie's gym pet peeve: watching older lifters perform quarter-range-of-motion reps on machines like the leg press and recumbent elliptical. The group works through whether "something is better than nothing," how gym culture spreads through imitation ("monkey see, monkey do"), how Planet Fitness locations increasingly stock real free-weight equipment, and how an over-indexing on isolation and cable work may be holding back younger lifters chasing hypertrophy. They close by observing that a growing number of women at the gym now train harder and more intelligently than the average male gym-goer. 00:00 Welcome and Hosts 00:15 Youth Meet Recap and National Records 04:15 Rapid Strength Progress in Young Lifters 05:51 Phil's Weak Bench and Training Priorities 10:33 Aggressive Modern Rehab and Recovery Trends 11:46 Network Announcements and Newsletter 13:55 Gym Etiquette and the Quarter Rep Debate 15:51 Effort and Doing Something Versus Nothing 18:02 Monkey See Monkey Do and Gym Imitation 19:43 Trends Across Different Gyms 21:04 Hypertrophy Culture and Isolation Work 23:40 Effort, Mobility, and Close Calls 27:20 Wrap and Disclaimer Donate to the show via PayPal HERE.You can also join Dr Mike's Insider Newsletter for more info on how to add muscle, improve your performance and body comp - all without destroying your health, go to www.ironradiodrmike.com Thank you!Phil, Jerrell, Mike T, and Lonnie
42-year-old Eduardo Moraga didn't care much for his job at Planet Fitness in Coconut Creek, FL. He went out with a bang by stealing a gym member's credit card, making his way to a local barbecue joint, and enjoying some food and beer before being arrested.

In today's episode of The Recovered Dad Podcast, we explore a simple experience at the gym that reveals a powerful truth about pornography recovery, fatherhood, and personal growth. Watching people exercise with imperfect technique sparked a realization: what most people criticize is often far more admirable than what society considers "normal." We discuss how true recovery is not about perfection but about consistently showing up, putting in the reps, and choosing growth over comfort. We also explore why lasting freedom from pornography comes through developing new skills, embracing accountability, and building the habits that shape strong fathers and husbands. Recovery isn't about becoming perfect. It's about becoming the man your family needs through daily, intentional action. Top 10 Show Highlights [00:00] Welcome back to The Recovered Dad Podcast as we introduce today's conversation about choosing the uncommon path to recovery. [03:00] A visit to Planet Fitness becomes an unexpected lesson about judging progress versus celebrating effort. [04:20] Why simply showing up to improve yourself is already doing something that most people never do. [06:00] The difference between perfect technique and consistent practice, both in fitness and in recovery. [08:30] How judgment quietly shifts into compassion when we recognize that everyone is fighting a battle. [11:00] Why pornography recovery is built through repetition, not perfection. [14:00] The importance of developing recovery skills instead of relying on willpower alone. [17:00] Why accountability, coaching, and community help men build lasting freedom. [20:00] How every healthy decision strengthens your identity as a husband, father, and leader. [24:00] Recovery is choosing the uncommon path every day, one intentional decision at a time.

Chris, Hogi, and Adam address a bizarre, viral forum post targeting Chris Collins Performance on a competitor's platform. The team breaks down the obvious inconsistencies in the post—from fake claims about techs quitting to misinformed takes on labor grids and parts pricing—and explains why real service advisors who understand business profitability actually thrive under proper operational systems. The guys also answer a direct hotline question comparing automotive parts departments to heavy-duty truck parts operations. They break down the fundamental differences between B2C car dealerships and B2B truck dealerships, how wholesale operations drive millions in outside revenue, and the exact process needed to stop special order parts bleeding before cleaning up obsolescence. Plus: Adam checks in live from his hot Florida vacation with 15 family members, detailing their annual family drink competition, fish boils, golfing in 106-degree heat, and the team's weekly workouts at Planet Fitness. (Note: SDR Live Academy returns next week on Zoom, where Hogi leads an interactive workshop on building and mapping high-performance service drive systems!) KEY TAKEAWAYS - Debunking Online Forum Drama: An unfiltered breakdown of a fake forum post, addressing why right-sizing labor rates and pricing matrices is essential for shop survival. - The "Mom Test" for Maintenance: Why advisor integrity means never selling a client something you wouldn't sell to your own mother. - B2C vs. B2B Parts Operations: How auto parts departments rely on internal service drive volume, while heavy-duty truck parts departments generate millions in outside fleet and municipality sales. - Stopping the Obsolescence Bleed: Why cleaning up old inventory fails if you haven't fixed your prepaid special order parts processes and technician returns first. - The Planet Fitness Business Model: A funny look at how low-cost gym memberships rely on members never showing up—and what happens when everyone actually does. - SDR Academy Systems Preview: A look at Hogi's upcoming workshop on outlining and executing a seamless operational blueprint.

"We do have him making some purchases at a cleaners. Also, we have some activity on some local roadways, and then he vanishes." On Saturday, 26 May 2012, 36-year-old Adrian Washington set out to take care of some things. First, he stopped by Planet Fitness on the north side of Austin, Texas, just after nine in the morning. Then, he dropped by Fine Dry Cleaners, where he was also a regular. After that, he made contact with some people by phone, including his sister, LaTeasha. But the normally-social Adrian was surprisingly curt and formal, and he cut their conversation short after just a moment.Almost immediately thereafter, Adrian vanished, leaving behind his family, friends, wife, and children. Surveillance cameras would capture Adrian's vehicle traveling south, toward San Antonio, where Adrian's cell phone was found discarded on a sidewalk...If you have any information about this story that you'd like to share, please contact:Austin Crime Stoppers: (512) 472-TIPS or +15124728477APD Cold Case Homicide Unit: apdcoldcasemissingpersons@austintexas.gov or submit a tip through the Austin PD mobile appCheck out the podcast store at unresolved.dashery.comIf you would like to support this podcast, consider heading to https://www.patreon.com/unresolvedpod to become a Patron or ProducerBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unresolved-a-true-crime-mystery-podcast--3266604/support.
For the past decade, Greg Flynn has been America's largest franchisee, and now he is the largest in the world. But he has a voracious appetite for more. “The dream here is to create a global business with operating capabilities and success beyond what the world has seen,” says Flynn, the 62-year-old CEO and founder of Flynn Group and Flynn Properties. “Operating businesses, especially consumer-facing ones, are really hard. If you can do it well consistently, over multiple brands and multiple geographies and multiple industries, that is a valuable and defensible thing to do.” Over the past three decades, he has doubled down on fast food franchises again and again. With $5 billion in annual revenue from more than 3,000 franchises of Applebee's, Taco Bell, Panera, Arby's, Pizza Hut, Wendy's and now Planet Fitness in 44 states as well as Australia and New Zealand, Flynn's portfolio is more than double the size of the next biggest franchisee. Forbes estimates Flynn has about 25% ownership with some $2.5 billion in loans and over $100 million in cash on hand. At a valuation Forbes estimates of $5 billion, that means Flynn is worth an estimated $650 million. (Flynn declined to comment.) By Chloe Sorvino, Forbes Staff Learn more about your ad choices.

What started off as us revisiting the Blade Trilogy derailed spectacularly somewhere between admiring Wesley Snipes roundhouse-kicking vampires into dust and asking how Jessica Biel's UV flashlight-bow-weapon-lightsaber-thing, that's half as hot as the surface of the sun, apparently, wouldn't just accidently delete Ohio.Welcome to the CREEP-O-RAMA Podcast, everyone. You know how this goes by now. First, we sink our fangs into Blade (1998) directed by Stephen Norrington, Blade II (2002) directed by Guillermo del Toro, and the fever dream known as Blade: Trinity (2004) directed by David S. Goyer, celebrating everything from the legendary blood rave opening and Stephen Dorff's gloriously arrogant Deacon Frost to Kris Kristofferson proving that every vampire hunter should legally be required to look like they smell faintly of whiskey and shotgun shells.Then Guillermo del Toro strolls into Blade II like a goth wizard who wandered into the wrong franchise and accidentally made one of the coolest vampire movies ever. We get stoked over the jaw-splitting Reaper creature effects, Ron Perlman insulting everyone within breathing distance, Norman Reedus somehow playing Daryl Dixon years before Daryl Dixon existed, and UdoKier reminding everyone that he's physically incapable of giving less than 138% in any movie.And then... Blade: Trinity happens and oh boy…We unpack the great Post-It Notes War of 2004 between David Goyer and Wesley Snipes, Ryan Reynolds stress-testing every joke he would later recycle in Deadpool, Triple H refusing to leave the movie, and Dominic Purcell's Dracula, who somehow radiates the energy of a guy waiting for his protein shake at Planet Fitness instead of the ancient Prince of Darkness.Things continue to deteriorate as we raise questions Hollywood cowards refuse to answer: Who tattoos Blade? Is Whistler secretly moonlighting as the world's grumpiest tattoo artist? How do tattoos stay on someone with regenerative vampire healing? Was the entire screenplay reverse-engineered around “Heat-Seeking Dennis”? Why is “Heat-Seeking Dennis” an actual credited character in this franchise? Come for the vampire carnage and blood rave. Stay for unnecessary science lesson on the temperature of the Sun. We're basically an educational podcast now. Kinda.

In this episode, we sit down with Joe Pepe Jr., CEO of IGNITE Fitness Holdings, one of the largest Planet Fitness area developers and a second-generation leader in the health club industry. Born into a family deeply rooted in fitness entrepreneurship, with his father tracing back to the industry's early days, Joe shares his path evolving from a family-owned gym business to building one of the most successful Planet Fitness franchises in the country. Pete and Joe also touch on how early risk-taking, embracing disruptive business models, and leveraging private equity fueled explosive growth from just a handful of clubs in Connecticut to over 100 locations across the U.S. and Canada. Joe also discusses the importance of company culture, strategies for scaling teams, the role of marketing, and the impact of industry partnerships, along with a look ahead at opportunities in acquisitions and market development. On the topic of 'front desk to leadership' and the importance of investing in people, Pepe states, "There are so many stories of people that came in as a minimum wage, front desk worker and now have progressed three, four, five layers on. It's great to see, brings you a lot of joy to see people develop that are truly bought in and enjoy being part of something bigger." Key themes discussed Family legacy in health club industry Early adoption of Planet Fitness model Transition to private equity ownership Franchisee network's role in best practices Marketing strategies for continuous growth Building and developing internal talent Expansion through acquisitions and greenfield development A Few Key Takeaways 1. Legacy and Early Adoption of Planet Fitness: Joe shared how his family were early movers in the Planet Fitness brand, converting legacy clubs into some of the first Planet locations in the early 2000's. Their willingness to switch from big-box gyms like World Gym and Gold's Gym to the Planet Fitness model positioned them as pioneers and benefitted from the new brand's explosive growth. 2. Scaling with Private Equity: He described the pivotal shift from a family-run operation to a private equity-backed enterprise. Bringing on investors enabled them to accelerate growth, hire specialized talent, and reach over 100 locations through both acquisitions and new builds, something not possible without significant capital and operational rigor. 3. Power of the Franchisee Network: This episode also highlighted how valuable the Planet Fitness franchisee network is for knowledge sharing and best practices. Regular meetings, councils, and conferences foster collaboration and have been instrumental for operators like Pepe to learn, share, and refine their approaches. 4. Continuous Investment in Marketing: A key component of Planet Fitness's success is relentless, ongoing marketing at both national and local levels. Planet does not throttle back on ad spending after grand openings, but instead works year-round to attract first-time gym goers and continue fueling growth, maintaining brand visibility and saturation. 5. Growth through M&A and Internal Talent Development: Joe discussed the increasing opportunities in acquiring independent gyms and legacy operators as a growth channel, emphasizing respectful integration and understanding of sellers' perspectives. Additionally, internal development and promotion, from front-desk to leadership, remain core values, creating a culture of advancement and loyalty.

Beat Migs! A lady drove into a Planet Fitness so we go Straight To The Comments.
This week on PT Breakfast Club, Jimmy McKay and Dave Kittle start with a simple patient text exchange and end up inside one of the biggest problems in physical therapy:Expectation rarely matches reality.Dave shares how he responds when a prospective patient asks whether his clinic is in-network or out-of-network. Instead of dodging the question or pushing the sale, he explains the difference between choosing the lowest-cost option and choosing a higher-touch model.That opens the door to a larger conversation about why patients often disappear after visit three.Is it really because patients do not care?Is it because they will not do their home exercises?Or is the experience inconsistent enough that leaving is actually a rational consumer response?Jimmy and Dave talk about the in-network volume model, cash-pay customer acquisition costs, personal training, patient switching, the third-place concept, Equinox, Planet Fitness, Starbucks, Ironman, APTA, payment advocacy, and whether physical therapy can ever become more than a series of appointments.The episode closes with a practical reminder: the easiest growth lever is not always finding new patients. Sometimes it is serving the people who already trust you at a much higher level.In this episodeHow to respond when patients ask about in-network vs out-of-network careWhy cash practices need to explain the tradeoff, not just the priceWhy visit 3 drop-off may be an experience design problemHow inconsistent therapist switching damages trustWhat PT can learn from personal trainingWhy volume-based models create predictable consequencesThe role of customer acquisition cost in patient retentionWhat physical therapy can learn from Equinox and Planet FitnessWhy community-first businesses winWhy a package is not the same thing as a membershipWhat APTA can and cannot realistically solveWhy retention and relationship may be the most underused growth strategyBest quote“If you launched a video game where 70% of the people played it three times and never played again, would you blame the player? No. You'd blame the game.”

They also talk about touring with Kitchen Dwellers, life on the road, band dynamics, fan culture, songwriting versus jamming, and the realities of surviving in today's music industry.

President Trump just dominated the historic summit in Beijing — and a top body language expert says he was straight-up lion-like. According to renowned expert Lillian Glass, Trump showed massive confidence and “gravitas” during his meetings with Chinese President Xi Jinping. He wasn't intimidated at all — instead, he deployed powerful back pats that were both friendly and dominant, while the two leaders displayed genuine warmth and walked in perfect sync. Trump stood tall like a military man, moved with strength and stamina, and proved once again he's built for the world stage. The expert even shut down health rumors, pointing out Trump's strong walk up the Great Hall steps. We Also cover: Rand Paul on Dr. Fauci. CIA raids Tulsi Gabbards' office?
