Mazel Morons! Today we're kicking things off with some strong thoughts about NYC traffic, rogue school buses, and racking up three parking tickets in a day. Josh attempts to bring the ~zen~ with his CorePower Yoga obsession (he might be cleaning the studio for a free membership) and we dive into the wild world of hot yoga, supplements, and why Ben's officially out on StretchLab. We get into Remi Bader's weight loss reveal, the pressure to share everything online, and why people need to mind their own business. Plus, we talk first date red flags, proposal pressure, and that one guy in the sauna who said way too much. Ben questions why we're still throwing peanut shells on the floor like it's a Texas saloon, and we hear from one moron who had us saying what everyone's thinking: give the man a size 10 and let him live!

What does absentee ownership actually mean in franchising? Is it really possible, or is it just another myth in the industry? In this replay, Erik talks to his business partners, Luke Jacobson and Terry Rackley from StretchLab, who share their raw and honest journey from hopeful semi-absentee franchisees to successful business partners. After experiencing the reality of burning through 6 managers in 8 months and watching their "10-hour work week" transform into something completely different, they reveal what actually makes absentee ownership possible. Their partnership story shows how the right structure can change everything, leading to profitability increases of up to 200% in some locations. The conversation pulls back the curtain on franchise success: the truth about support systems, the power of systematic organization, the critical role of employee retention, and most importantly - what it really takes to be a successful absentee owner in franchising.   “We're not a franchisee that does something totally different than what the franchise is asking. We actually stay pretty close. We're not trying to reinvent the wheel, but on the people side, we try to go above and beyond. They'll take care of customers, which in turn will get us good results.” ~ Terry Rackley   In This Episode: - Luke's background and how he got into franchising - Terry's background and how he met Luke and Erik - How Luke and Terry became business partners - The importance of speed in opening new locations - Erik's role in the partnership - Why leadership and organizational skills matter in business - Critical factors in running a successful business - Is absentee ownership a myth? - What comes to mind when you hear the term top franchisees? - What does a healthy franchisee-franchisor relationship look like? - Why is aggressive organization necessary when managing a business? - What makes partnerships a good thing?   Resources:

What does semi-absentee ownership actually mean? Is it possible in a franchise setting, or is it a myth?   Join Over 5,500 Franchisees and Franchisors in our FREE Private Facebook Community HERE: https://www.facebook.com/groups/franchisesecretsfb?_rdc=1&_rdr   In this episode, Erik talks to his business partners, Luke Jacobson and Terry Rackley from StretchLab, who share their journey as franchisees and business partners.   They discuss the importance of finding the right franchise opportunity and the myths surrounding semi-absentee franchising. They emphasize the need for speed in opening new locations and the challenges of finding and retaining good employees.    Luke and Terry also discuss their partnership with Erik, who serves as their business consultant and advisor. The partners also highlight their organizational skills and the importance of building a strong team.    In essence, the conversation covers topics such as the support system provided by the franchisor, the importance of trial and error, the role of aggressive organization in managing the business, the focus on employee development and retention, the relationship between franchisees and the franchisor, and the significance of business partnerships.   “Unless you're already a multi-millionaire, I don't think absentee ownership exists. I don't think you'll have the right attitude if you go into this saying, “Hey, I just wanna throw money at something as an investment.” You're gonna have to put in blood, sweat, and lots and lots of tears.” - Luke Jacobson   In This Episode: - Luke's background and how he got into franchising - Terry's background and how he met Luke and Erik - How Luke and Terry became business partners - The importance of speed in opening new locations - Erik's role in the partnership - Why leadership and organizational skills matter in business - Critical factors in running a successful business - Is absentee ownership a myth? - What comes to mind when you hear the term top franchisees? - What does a healthy franchisee-franchisor relationship look like? - Why is aggressive organization necessary when managing a business? - What makes partnerships a good thing?

with Shawn Byrnes, Franchise Owner of StretchLab   When most of us think of stretching, it's something we might spend a few minutes doing to limber up before exercising, or afterwards to cool down. But did you know that stretching on its own is a great form of exercise? Not only does stretching build and tone your muscles, but it can help avoid injury, increase flexibility or agility, and maximize performance. It might even improve your posture! In professional sports, it's the job of the team trainer to keep athletes operating in peak performance mode. They do this by utilizing a strict regimen of pre- and post-game stretches. The trainer can manipulate and stretch the individual muscles and joints in order to minimize pain and discomfort, increase range of motion, or improve an athlete's speed. But these days, having a trainer stretch your muscles, manipulate your joints and optimize your physical fitness isn't just for professional athletes. One of the fastest-growing franchises in the nation provides group or one on one, stretching sessions with specially trained individuals who stretch and tone your muscles and joints for you. If you want to minimize muscle discomfort, increase your range of motion, and improve your circulation, you'll want to listen to my interview with Shawn Byrnes, the franchise owner of StretchLab, to explain why stretching could be the best exercise of all.   What You'll Hear in This Episode: Why is stretching so beneficial for our health and well being Is it more important to stretch before or after we exercise? How can stretching help us avoid and heal from injuries? How does regular stretching improve athletic fitness? Should we stretch every day, even when we don't exercise? What areas of the body should we focus on? What is “assisted stretching”? Why is assisted stretching more effective? What is StretchLab and how did Shawn become involved? How often should we stretch? Is it too late to start stretching, and how can it help us age well? What is M.A.P.S. technology and how does it work? What is a Flexologist?   Today's Takeaway: We tend to take for granted all the many ways we rely on our body, from brushing our teeth to basic household chores and picking up after the kids or pets, until suddenly, we hurt ourselves. When an injury prevents us from doing even the most basic of movements, our life is disrupted in ways we can't even begin to imagine. Suddenly we have to rely on others to do all those things for us. We may need help getting dressed, or have someone else walk our dog. But as we've heard today, most injuries tend to occur when muscles, ligaments, and joints aren't properly conditioned. Although a majority of injuries occur during sports-related activities, sometimes just stepping wrong as you get out of the car could cause an injury. Too much pressure or the slightest movement the wrong way might lead to ruptures or tears. That's why it's so very important to properly condition your body to maximize your range of motion. When a joint or ligament is too tight, it could snap when it's put under pressure. But if it's accustomed to a wider range of motion, that joint or tendon will be far more resilient and forgiving, even under strain. Taking a few extra minutes to stretch each day could save you from injury, not to mention the added mental benefit of giving yourself a few extra minutes to breathe deep and relax. Remember that every day is a gift and having a healthy body is a gift we can never take for granted. So cherish your body and do everything you can to condition it properly. I'm Florine Mark and that's “Today's Takeaway.”   Quotes: “Certainly increasing our mobility in our flexibility helps humans do what we're really designed to do, which is to be in motion.” — Shawn [2:19]   “A body that's prepared and stretching via assisted stretching or stretching on our own helps us increase that range of motion and flexibility and prepares us to do those activities that we love to do and that we have to do.” — Shawn  [2:45]   “Stretching, first and foremost, should not hurt. And I think there was a common misconception for a time that if it didn't hurt, it didn't work.” — Shawn [10:11]   “I'm looking for things that can help me maintain my mobility and my flexibility, so I can do the things that I really enjoyed doing into my 60s and 70s. I think assisted stretching is one of those things that can certainly help.” — Shawn [22:15]   Brought to You By: Gardner White Furniture   Mentioned in This Episode: StretchLab

Are you a franchisee looking for tips and tricks to help grow your business? Do you wish your business was more successful? Then this week's podcast episode is for you. Verdine Baker, President of StretchLab, shares insider secrets for franchisees to help your business attract more customers and increase revenue. Verdine was born in the Seychelles Islands, a small country region that is made up of 115 islands in the western Indian Ocean, before moving to California. As a soccer player throughout high school and college, Verdine fell in love with athletics and the training/gym environment.

Where diversity is a fact, inclusion becomes a must.Each of us has the potential to make our own lives better, but there's a limit to progress without social interactions.If we want TRUE Progress, we need to move as one, as a society, as a specie, towards the direction of BETTER – and this begins with INCLUSION.  And there's nothing more inclusive than Health and Wellness. Regardless of demographics…  We all live and breathe. We all need to take care of our minds and bodies. And all of us can benefit from good health.This is the message Martin Balcaitis and Nate Chang want to share with all of us.  Martin and Nate are Chief Marketing Officers for StretchLab and YogaSix, respectively; both boutique fitness brands are part of Xponential Fitness.  Martin and Nate are also seasoned veterans in franchising in their own right, with the former having taken key roles under brands like Krispy Kreme and Denny's, and the latter, having worked with Del Taco, Rita's, and UFC Gym.Both powerhouses, despite working on 2 separate brands, agree that the marketing function is integral to the success of any business. It's through marketing best practices that a brand builds consistency, drives alignment, and makes sure the touch, feel, look – the overall concept of a brand – are in sync.  When you can ensure synchronicity, a brand's voice becomes so powerful enough to deliver a message consumers resonate with AND will respond to.  Martin and Nate work tirelessly to drive Xponential Fitness's message…  Everyone has something to gain from their brand and the health and wellness space.Whether you're looking for a job, a way to improve your health, a way to help others build strong minds and bodies, or you have a desire to improve your quality of life through financial freedom, among other endeavors, there's something in store for you!  How does Inclusion tie-in with Diversity?

The Topic Randomizer strikes again as we are forced to relive emergency bathroom stories from our past.

And the coup de grace...a shocking turn in the Stinko de Mayo tournament that has never been seen before

Today I’m joined by Anthony Geisler, Founder and CEO of Xponential Fitness — a holding company of nine boutique fitness brands, including Club Pilates, Pure Barre, CycleBar, and others.    In this episode, Anthony tells us how they managed to open new studios during the pandemic. We talk about how the Rumble acquisition came together. And Anthony explains why he’s bullish on the return of in-person exercise.    We also discuss what’s next for Xponential — including more acquisitions, whether or not they’ll launch connected fitness equipment, and the likelihood that they go public this year.    More from Anthony   Anthony Geisler is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Xponential Fitness. After graduating from USC in 1999, Geisler and a friend saw the potential in the dot com era and created a domain name and website development business, before moving into casino gaming software, then to fitness when he purchased LA Boxing in 2001. Seeing more opportunity in specialized workouts, Geisler bought Club Pilates in early 2015, a small collection of boutique Reformer Pilates studios concentrated in California that has now grown to 900 licensed locations. In 2017, Anthony recognized there was further opportunity with scheduled boutique fitness and formed Xponential Fitness, which is now the curator of leading fitness brands across each vertical of the boutique fitness industry, including Club Pilates, Pure Barre, CycleBar, Row House, StretchLab, AKT, YogaSix, STRIDE, and Rumble.   More from Fitt Insider   Fitt Insider is a newsletter and podcast on the business of fitness and wellness.   Join industry-leading operators and investors by subscribing: http://insider.fitt.co

Episode 45: Pain, Passion and Profit with Dr. Steve Sudell “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” – Benjamin Franklin We've got an entrepreneurial superstar joining us on the show today! Our guest will reveal his secrets to: Creating products that people love Raising $1+ million through crowdfunding, and Generating multiple 7-figure exits. That's right, he's done a LOT, despite still only being in his 30s. Dr. Steve Sudell received his doctorate in Physical Therapy in 2009, and in an accomplished career he’s made it his mission to find non-invasive solutions to get people back to doing what they love. In 2015, he co-founded StretchLab, a revolutionary assisted-stretching facility that helps individuals improve their overall flexibility and well-being through stretching. Steve created the full range of stretching protocols that are still in use today, and also trained hundreds of practitioners – known as “flexologists” – in the process. With Steve’s expertise, StretchLab went from one location to more than 200 in less than four years. In 2019, Steve exited the company in a seven-figure deal. After watching his younger sister battle leukemia and suffer from extreme pain, Steve knew there were a lot more people who needed help. In 2017, to help the millions of people who suffer from chronic neck pain, he created the Neck Hammock. It arrived as the most affordable, portable, and effective ‘at home’ neck pain solution on the market. To fund the project, he launched two crowdfunding campaigns simultaneously that raised USD $1.6 million from 20,000+ backers, and landed in the top 1% of all Kickstarter campaigns. Since then, the Neck Hammock has been featured on The Dr. Oz Show, The Today Show, Forbes, and Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop. After grossing more than USD $20 million in sales, Steve had another seven-figure exit in January 2021. We cover a lot of ground in this one! You'll learn how to make your health a priority (no matter how hectic your schedule is), when it's time to exit your passion project, and exactly what it takes to make it in the business world in 2021. And remember, a little inspiration at the right time can completely change the trajectory of someone’s life, so if there’s a friend who needs to check out this interview, share it with them now. Let’s WIN THE DAY with Dr. Steve Sudell! _

These stretches focus on the following areas of our bodies: Feet, Lower Legs, Quads, Hamstrings, Glutes, Spine, Core, and Upper Body. (Ok, that’s really 8, but Upper Body is easily overlooked for runners and Austin gave us a bonus stretch).

We are meeting with  Lou DeFrancisco, the President of StretchLab.  With people all over the country flocking to boutique fitness concepts of all kinds that demand rigorous workouts to help transform the body, the importance of active recovery and overall wellness is beginning to take a front seat. After only announcing its franchise opportunity five months ago, StretchLab has signed its initial agreements to debut 31 new studios nationwide. Carving out an inclusive niche in the fitness industry for all ages, fitness levels, genders and sizes, StretchLab is the first boutique wellness franchise that offers one-on-one assisted stretching services in a fun, energetic, communal environment. These agreements will propel the concept into all four regions of the U.S.    The assisted stretching market is larger than any boutique fitness studio’s clientele, as it’s not siloed for specific types of fitness levels or abilities and is inclusive to all ages, sizes and capabilities. Even though stretching is time-tested, assisted stretching as a method of active recovery is in its infancy and StretchLab has a first-to-market opportunity to capitalize on the industry.  In part two, we will play a clip from our popular Great Quotes in Franchising podcast.
