Can a gym be profitable with just 15 to 20 members? The answer is yes—and Oskar Johed is proving it.In this episode of “Run a Profitable Gym,” host Mike Warkentin sits down with Oskar, co-owner of two thriving CrossFit facilities in Sweden, to talk about why he chose a different path for his third gym: a small-group training model.Oskar breaks down the advantages of small-group training, from lower overhead and reduced staff burnout to higher client retention and stronger profitability.In a small-group model, gyms with limited square footage can break even with just a handful of high-value members—and scale up to major profitability with 80 to 100 clients.Oskar also explains why individualized attention in small-group settings produces better results and how he uses affinity marketing and community partnerships to grow without relying solely on ads.Listen and find out how to blend the best of group and personal training to build a sustainable, profitable gym.LinksThe Prescriptive ModelSemi-Private Launch PlaybookGym Owners UnitedBook a Call2:46 - The burnout problem7:52 - Pricing small-group training14:20 - Using the Prescriptive Model18:40 - Advantages of small group27:32 - Oskar's marketing strategy

In this message, Eric challenges us to move beyond surface-level relationships and discover how honesty, vulnerability, and need are essential to becoming like Jesus for the sake of others.

Today, we are once again joined by Keith Ferrazzi.Keith Ferrazzi is a bestselling author and relationship-building expert whose book "Never Eat Alone" has transformed how millions of professionals approach networking. He went from being the son of a Pennsylvania steelworker to becoming the youngest CMO at Starwood Hotels and CEO of Yaya Media, attributing much of his success to authentic relationship building.

He reveals why traditional hub-and-spoke leadership is failing modern teams and introduces the concept of "teamship"—a fundamental shift from individual heroics to collective performance.

When a person becomes a Christian, there's a deep sense of relief; you're made right with God, forgiven of every sin, and promised heaven. That's absolutely amazing news for anyone who puts their faith in Jesus Christ alone! But believing is just the beginning of God's plan for us. Too often people stop there, without realizing that God wants our believing to lead to becoming all He's designed us to be. In this series, From Believing to Becoming, we'll look at the simple yet life-changing practices that help us grow as followers of Jesus, guided by the Lakeshore purposes (5 G's) of Grace, Growth, Groups, Gifts, and Giving to God.

Is a recession really coming, or is this the new normal for the housing market? Dave Meyer and J Scott unpack how post-2008 shifts, record debt and money printing, tariffs, and AI are changing the rules, then connect inflation and the labor market to mortgage rates and interest rates so you can gauge what moves them next. You will get a risk-off playbook for today's deals, including conservative underwriting, assuming flatter rents and higher vacancy, buying at today's rates, and favoring fixed-rate debt, plus why single-family housing prices are usually resilient outside of severe shocks. Their housing market prediction and forecast: expect mostly stable home prices with modest moves while mortgage rates hover near current levels, with bigger swings only if jobs crack hard or inflation reaccelerates.

What does it really take to spark a movement in your parish? Small groups are both easier—and more challenging—than we think. They're not sustained by participants or materials alone, but by vision, culture, and structure. In this episode, I share why small groups can be pandemic-proof, recession-proof, even persecution-proof—if they're rooted in mission, shaped by a culture of accompaniment, and supported by strong leadership structures. Discover how to build small groups that don't just care for those inside the room, but expand outward to transform your parish and beyond.

Starting a ketamine clinic can mean challenging the status quo - and that can feel isolating when colleagues question your vision or patients don't understand the treatment. But here's what's reassuring: every major breakthrough in medicine started with physicians who were willing to stand alone and persist through doubt.In this compilation episode, we're featuring three remarkable doctors who faced the exact same resistance you might be experiencing. Each was told their ideas wouldn't work. Each had colleagues who doubted them. And each proved that individual practitioners can create massive change when they refuse to take "no" for an answer.Dr. Howard Kornfeld revolutionized addiction medicine by advocating for buprenorphine years before anyone believed in it. Dr. Joe Tafur bridges traditional healing with modern ketamine therapy despite skepticism from both sides. And Dr. Mel Herbert transformed global medical education from a single idea that everyone initially dismissed.These aren't just inspiring stories - they're road maps for how to navigate the challenges in the medical space. If you're building a practice or considering taking the leap, their experiences will show you that the resistance you face isn't a sign you're wrong - it's often a sign you're onto something important.What You'll Learn in This Episode・ How medical pioneers overcome institutional resistance and persist through years of colleagues doubting their vision・ Revolutionary approaches to addiction medicine including Dr. Kornfeld's early advocacy for buprenorphine treatment・ Bridging traditional and modern healing through Dr. Tafur's integration of ceremonial medicine with ketamine therapy・ Global medical education transformation and how Dr. Herbert built a company impacting training in 160+ countries despite never wanting to be an entrepreneurEpisode 41 show notes:00:00 Teaser - “I didn't want to be an entrepreneur…”00:23 Welcome To The Podcast01:36 Dr. Howard Kornfeld: The Power of Small Groups & Early Mentorship02:37 Buprenorphine Breakthrough & Early Adoption13:09 Dr. Joe Tafur: His perspective on colleague resistance21:11 Bridging Worlds: First Ketamine Ceremony21:34 Dr. Mel Herbert: The Birth of EM:RAP Vision22:51 Overcoming Initial Rejections23:21 Building Global Impact30:01 Finding Meaning in Simple Medicine30:23 Ending & ResourcesThanks for listeningListen to each of their full conversations:

Book Title: The Blazing World: A New History of Revolutionary England, 1603-1689 Author: Jonathan HealeyHeadline: The Gunpowder Plot's Enduring Legacy The 1605 Gunpowder Plot, an attempt by a small group of Catholics to destroy James I and Parliament, deeply shaped English politics. It fueled anti-Catholic paranoia, associating Catholicism with tyranny, foreign powers like Spain and France, and arbitrary government. This fear of a "popish plot" became a recurrent theme for the next 80 years, influencing decisions up to James II's reign. 1653 OLIVER CROMWELL
