What does it take to reinvent ourselves when life throws curveballs we never saw coming? How do we rise from the ashes of disappointment, disruption, or even devastation — not just to survive, but to thrive with renewed purpose? In a world where uncertainty is the only constant, the art of negotiating resilience becomes not just a personal tool, but a necessary skill for meaningful reinvention. It's not just about bouncing back — it's about bouncing forward, stronger and more aligned than ever. Today's conversation invites us to consider how we can rewrite our narratives, reclaim our power, and reimagine our futures.

In this episode of Sara and Josh Talk About Drones, Sara and Josh talk about several developments in the UAS space. First, they give an update on the alleged UAS sightings in New Jersey from December 2024 and the consensus that these sightings were in fact authorized crewed aircraft rather than rogue UAS. Next, they cover takeaways from the recent XPONENTIAL conference and the U.S. policy implications of recent high-profile usage of small drones in wartime conflicts. Sara and Josh then discuss the Trump Administration's recent Executive Orders on “Unleashing American Drone Dominance” and “Restoring American Airspace Sovereignty.” Finally, Sara and Josh revisit the Department of Commerce's proceeding on the UAS supply chain to provide an update on how that proceeding is likely to resolve, and how the parallel Commerce proceeding in the connected vehicle space and the FCC's involvement therein may shape the future of the drone supply chain.

In this episode of the Journey of My Mother's Son podcast, I talk with Christian Ray Flores. Christian was born in Moscow, Russia to a Chilean father and a Russian mother. The family moved to Chile when Christian was nine months old. During the 1973 military coup of Augusto Pinochet, Christian's father, Americo Flores, was arrested along with thousands of others and spent time in one of the infamous concentration camps. His mother Larisa and two children went into hiding under an assumed name and with a fake Argentinian passport. After Americo's release, the family spent some time in a UN refugee camp and was granted asylum in Germany, moving to Munich. After living in Germany and Russia, Americo and Larisa moved to Mozambique, at the government's invitation, which was recruiting international professionals after a mass exodus of Portuguese upon the nation's independence. Christian learned four languages by age nine: Russian, Spanish, English, and Portuguese. After his parents' divorce, Christian returned to Russia with his mother and sister in 1983. Christian got a master's degree in economics in 1991 from the RUDN University in Moscow. In 1993, Christian released his first single in Russia and became an instant success, winning awards like Generation ‘93 and Ovation in 1996 and playing nationwide. Back-to-back top ten hits culminated in his number one single, "Our Generation" – an anthem of freedom and change. It became a song widely used as the anthem of Boris Yeltsin's election campaign. Christian campaigned for Yeltsin as part of the Russian version of Rock the Vote, credited to giving Yeltsin the youth vote and victory in the campaign. After moving to the US in 2004, Christian worked for the international charity HOPE Worldwide, serving as a country director for Latin America, focusing on health care and education in nine different countries. He also developed and directed the Positive Choice education program, implemented around the US and internationally in Mexico, Jamaica, Indonesia. Christian co-founded a production company, Hollywood World, in Los Angeles with his wife, Deb de Flores. Hollywood World allowed international artists to work with top Hollywood producers and directors. Among other projects, Christian did voice acting for the English and Spanish versions of Masha and the Bear, a popular animated TV series. After moving to Austin, Texas, Christian and Deb co-founded (with Brandon Knicely) Third Drive, raising millions of dollars for startups and creating digital media projects for emerging businesses, public personalities and non-profit organizations. Christian speaks to audiences in the US and internationally, hosts the Headspace with Christian Ray Flores podcast and YouTube Channel dedicated to success in career and calling Headapace newsletter. His short film Dance With Me was selected to several international film festivals, and its title song was released on all major music platforms. In the first days of the war in Ukraine, the Ascend Mission Fund launched the Ukraine Relief Network, serving refugees in Ukraine. Christian and Deb personally visited Ukraine in September 2022. In 2022, Christian and Deb launched the Xponential career coaching program for high achievers. Christian and Deb have been active in Christian ministry in the US, Eastern Europe, and Latin America for two decades. They lead The Tribe, a community of faith in Austin, Texas. Ray frequently speaks to different audiences in the US and overseas. They are also active in philanthropy through their charity Ascend Mission Fund and projects like the Ascend Academy in Mozambique that lifts children out of poverty through developing character, communication, and computer skills.

Feeling stuck can be frustrating, especially when you know you're capable of more but can't seem to break through. It's easy to get caught in routines, second-guessing yourself or waiting for the "right" moment to take action.

The moment you stop waiting and start moving, even in uncertainty, is the moment real growth begins. Christian Ray Flores is an entrepreneur, international recording artist, philanthropist, and high-performance coach. He hosts a popular newsletter and podcast called "Headspace by Christian Ray Flores." Today, Christian shares his extraordinary journey, from being a child refugee in Chile to becoming a successful pop star in Eastern Europe and leading philanthropic projects internationally.

IIn today's episode, host Pete Moore sits down with Jeff Miller, the Chief Marketing Officer of RowHouse, a leading brand under the Xponential umbrella. Jeff's career is a journey through several industries and roles, reflecting his adaptability and passion for marketing and technology. He began in the education sector, creating websites for tech products before transitioning to the burgeoning world of e-commerce during the early days of the internet. His first significant marketing role was in the surf industry with Body Glove, where he helped launch their first direct-to-consumer website and pioneered their digital marketing efforts. He delves deep into the unique positioning of RowHouse, discussing how the brand aims to demystify rowing and make it appealing to a broader audience, including non-rowers. Jeff also touches on the importance of pre-sales, the evolving focus on strength training, community building, and marketing strategies to maximize the boutique fitness experience. Listen now to learn more about fitness marketing, the impact of cultural trends, and innovative ways to keep members engaged and motivated. On the revival around rowing, Jeff states, "There's definitely a renewed interest in rowing. We're looking at some of those Olympic athletes and some of these NIL deals with college rowing to cement that. That's still a pretty small niche, but it's a way to get in front and show that . . . there's these people who are in amazing shape, who live these healthy lives, and where rowing is a part of their core concept." Key themes discussed Navigated careers from education to digital marketing. Enhancing brand membership through effective marketing strategies. Comparison of instructor influence in fitness studios. Renewed interest in rowing across all populations. Efficient workout for Ozempic users: consider rowing. Developing fitness program and integrating pretax payments. Can SilverSneakers and Medicare fund boutique fitness? A few key takeaways: 1. Jeff's diverse career path led him from education, through the surf industry with Body Glove, to a significant role at YogaWorks where he discovered his passion for marketing in the fitness industry. This background has equipped him with extensive experience in both digital and traditional marketing strategies. 2. RowHouse is approaching its 10-year anniversary and aims to position itself as the go-to option for a full-body, low-impact workout. Despite the niche nature of rowing in boutique fitness, RowHouse plans to capitalize on the comprehensive benefits of rowing, including strength, cardio, and flexibility, to attract a broader audience beyond hardcore rowers. 3. The company emphasizes its community. However, RowHouse goes a step further by promoting a "crew" mentality to distinguish itself from other boutique brands. This sense of unity and collective effort is a core element in their classes, adding value beyond the physical workout. 4. Drawing from his experience at Orange Theory Fitness, Miller highlights the importance of strong presales and opening strategies to build a robust membership base from the get-go. This involves well-thought-out marketing tactics and a competitive spirit to set high benchmarks for membership growth and studio performance. 5. RowHouse is considering the growing trends in the fitness industry, such as the focus on strength training and the potential implications of new health and wellness trends like GLP-1 weight loss drugs. The brand is also exploring new ways to optimize studio time and introduce classes that cater to different demographics, ensuring maximum utilization and appeal.

Joey Angelo, a liquor industry entrepreneur, launched products such as VIVA XXXII Tequila; MARGS – the canned margarita beverage; and Su Casa Mezcal – which, in less than a year after its launch, is now one of the top-selling brands in the mezcal category. Outside of the liquor industry, Joey Angelo was a seed investor in the celebrity fitness concept Rumble Boxing and played a key role in its launch prior to its sale to Xponential in a deal valued at more than $300 million. 

For the first time ever, agave spirits (made from Mexico's agave plant such as tequila and mezcal) will outsell vodka in U.S. bars this year, becoming the #1 selling liquor category. And sales for Mezcal in particular, (often referred to as tequila's smokier cousin) have soared, making it the fastest-growing spirit in North America. According to a new research report about the skyrocketing growth of mezcal, part of its popularity is due to consumers' fascination with Mexican cuisine and culture. Others note that more and more people are developing an appreciation for premium artisanal spirits and are drawn to mezcal's unique flavor profile. Whatever the reason, the hottest bars and restaurants across the country now feature mezcal cocktails on their menus. Previously viewed as an up-and-coming spirit, mezcal has gone mainstream and 2024 is poised to be its biggest year yet.

Garret Marshall has been in the fitness industry for 20 years, starting way back (kind of "falling into it") in 2003. His first job was teaching swimming lessons to kids at Lifetime Fitness where he stayed for five and a half years. Prior to that, he was heavily involved in athletics growing up and playing hockey after school.  Over the years he had "every job you can think of" in the health club world. Garrett's currently President of Fitness Streaming for Xponential Fitness. He and Pete discuss how Xponential is investing in R&D to build out various digital platforms and making it a part of their revenue mix. They also chat about the history of personal training revenue and how digital platforms may only bring in / appeal to a smaller percentage of members. (Perhaps, at least initially.)  Marshall shares his insights on the importance of aligning bricks and mortar with online programming and connectivity for fitness businesses to succeed. Recounting the state of the industry years ago, he says, "I still remember back going back to the Fitness on Request days, when that was really the first product of its kind . . . and then you fast forward 10 or 15 years later and you see, well, you really can't have an elevated spin experience if you haven't incorporated technology that shows riders their biometrics performance metrics throughout the ride!"  This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the future of the HALO sector!  Some key moments:  [00:07:49] Fitness technology adoption evolved despite early objections. [00:10:03] Managing technology overload and priorities. [00:17:06] Xponential's Mission: Accessible boutique fitness worldwide. [00:22:00] Personal training revenue: Don't worry, it's growing! A few key takeaways:  Digital technology is becoming an important revenue stream for fitness studios, but it is still a small part of their overall revenue mix. Incorporating technology into the fitness experience has become essential to providing an elevated experience, but companies should align technology with the core value(s) they provide to customers. Fitness executives should prioritize and calibrate new technology introductions to avoid getting overwhelmed. Streaming/digital exercise programs, etc provide lower price points and wider accessibility, and can possibly assist in bringing in more customers to fitness studios.

Andria Taylor, CEO and Chief Talent Officer of TalentXponential, gets into the real nitty-gritty of company culture: how to cultivate it, how to nurture your people and how to see real, tangible, positive outcomes as a result.  Company culture is not just about free snacks and a ping-pong table, but rather about creating an environment where employees feel valued, supported, and motivated to do their best work. It's about understanding the underlying beliefs, values, and behaviors that drive the organization's actions and decisions. When dealt with properly, company culture leads to increased productivity, employee retention, and ultimately, business success. It's also important for business owners to invest in their employees' professional development and growth – those companies who do not prioritize these risk losing their top talent to competitors. Prioritize these initiatives…don't put them off or treat them as optional. Investing in employees is essential in driving business success, and that's what TalentXponential is all about!

The indoor rowing machine - or erg - has been in use since the fourth century when an Athenian Admiral created a rudimentary version to train his army. And since, innovators from Concept2 helped to commercialize the indoor rowing machine and CrossFit got millions of people across the world onto the erg in their intense workouts.And this week on the podcast, I spoke with two innovators who helped take rowing from the corner of the gym floor to the center of a workout.Debra Strougo and Eric Von Frohlich, are the husband and wife team who created Row House in 2014. Their mission was to bring the sport of rowing to the masses and make it accessible. They saw the sport as accessible to all entry points into fitness, whether you're just starting out on a fitness journey or whether you're an olympic rower looking for somewhere to practice. And to hear them tell it, they crafted their own education to learn the ins and outs of studio fitness after writing down what would become the plan to build Row House on a napkin. They dug into studio management and operations in a way that they hadn't learned when they met working at Equinox in New York City.And this week on the podcast, they take us through that whole journey of ideating, building the brand in New York City, and inevitably selling their business to Xponential Fitness - the franchising brand that also owns Pure Barre, Rumble, Cycle Bar, AKT, Stretch Lab, Stride, Yoga six and Club Pilates. And, just for listening, you can get a free first class at your nearest Row House, simply download the Row House app and click try a class.

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?
