What does it even mean to be "authentic" online? Just posting things you want other people to see? Sharing everything, treating people like friends? Or maybe it's being extremely professional at all times. With audiences in the hundreds, 1000s, and millions, the old rules of what it means to be yourself in front of others don't apply anymore.

We have to recontextualize our self-presentation online, to be able to both feel like we are ourselves and to make our audiences feel that they get to see the real us. Unfortunately, this does not work with our traditional approach.

When it comes to authenticity, the size of virtual audiences we can quickly build creates the need for a new and slightly different way of thinking about what it means to be our true selves in front of people who only get to see the surface. Here is how you can be authentic in a digital world.

In this week's episode, we're breaking down the meaning of friendship. It might seem like a light and fluffy subject on the surface, but as with all of our topics, this subject manages to go much deeper than you might expect. 

We are social creatures. No matter how independent you think you might be, connectivity with others -- especially having quality friends -- is wildly important. Friendship is more than a quick fix for your desire to socialize. It's a necessary experience that's embedded within us as humans. The wrong friends can literally have a harmful impact on your DNA. But what about the right friends? What even is a good friend? How many friends can you feasibly have? How do you choose who's in you inner circle and who isn't? 

Quality friendships have impacts on our social, emotional and even physical health. In fact, your ability to survive a heart attack depends more on the quality of your friendships than smoking 20 cigarettes a day. Friendship is a special kind of connection that deserves your time and energy, but many of us simply don't know how to create or nurture those connections -- or how to break up with the friends who no longer fit in our lives.

How many clients does a microgym owner need to be successful? How does he or she find them? And how do operations change as client base grows?  The answers are in the data.

Here, Chris Cooper pulls important numbers from Two-Brain's State of the Industry Guide—like how many clients gyms have and how profitable those gyms are—and explains how they're connected.

If you're wondering why you're stuck at 100 clients—or why you've got 300 but aren't making any money—you won't want to miss this episode.
