In this episode of Beyond Sets & Reps, I sat down—literally in the recovery room at Summer Strong—with someone I'd never met until 20 minutes before hitting record: Dr. Jacob Lonowski. When I asked Bert Sorin who I should talk to out of hundreds of top-tier professionals, he didn't hesitate with Jacob's name. What followed was one of the most eye-opening conversations I've had, uncovering how Jacob's winding path—from business consulting to strength and conditioning to PT school—ultimately led him to Virginia High Performance, where he's now helping Navy SEALs and special operators heal and rebuild their lives. His insights on proximity, service, and scaling healing had me leaning in from start to finish. Jacob shares how he's learned to walk in the gray area between performance and recovery—physically, emotionally, and psychologically—and what it really means to serve others at the highest level. We dug into how trauma and sacrifice shape human performance, the challenges of working in elite military settings, and what young professionals get wrong when chasing a similar path. If you've ever wondered how to truly develop your personal potential and make a lasting impact, this conversation will absolutely make you think twice about what you're doing today and where you're headed tomorrow. Big thanks to podcast sponsors, Sorinex and EliteForm, for making these episodes possible.

Send us a textThe relentless summer heat isn't just taxing your technicians—it could be hiding a golden opportunity to maintain your business momentum straight into fall. If you're guilty of the all-too-common contractor mistake of coasting through August only to panic in September, this episode delivers the wake-up call and actionable strategy you need.Crystal dives deep into the four essential steps that keep your marketing machine humming regardless of season. First, she challenges you to honestly assess your current capacity and summer campaign performance. Are you mindlessly pushing for more leads when you can't handle them, or wasting resources on low-barrier offers instead of focusing on high-value customers? The candid evaluation continues with practical advice on pivoting your messaging for the late-summer window, targeting decision-making moms before back-to-school chaos consumes their attention.Beyond the immediate tactics, this episode shines in revealing how forward-thinking contractors can plant seeds now for Q4 success. From crafting fall-focused campaigns like insulation upgrades and pre-holiday plumbing checks to building strategic rehash lists of unconverted opportunities, Crystal provides a masterclass in seasonal transition planning. The practical advice culminates with database cultivation strategies that leverage your summer momentum—thank-you emails, review requests, and community visibility campaigns that keep your brand top-of-mind.The episode's most powerful insight might be its closing metaphor: marketing as a flywheel that requires consistent momentum rather than stop-start seasonal efforts. By applying these principles, you'll transform what might have been a dramatic fall slump into your strongest Q4 yet. Whether you're battling refrigerant issues, equipment shortages, or staffing challenges, these strategies will help you finish summer strong and enter autumn with unstoppable momentum.If you enjoyed this chat From the Yellow Chair, consider joining our newsletter, "Let's Sip Some Lemonade," where you can receive exclusive interviews, our bank of helpful downloadables, and updates on upcoming content.
