Why Social Media is Good for Coaches

We've pulled this episode out of the vault for you this week while we take a "Spring Break" from recording to find some joy outside the gym. We'll be back next Tuesday with a fresh episode!

Are you on the struggle bus when it comes to finding more coaches? You’re not alone.

Ah yes, the age old question: where do we find more coaches?! In this episode we talk about how times have changed from when the three of us first started out, some tips for recruiting new staff, and – most importantly – if coaches could grow on trees, what would that tree look like?!
