We’re going to try something new today, with a pot luck episode that’s one part Q&A mixed with some of our usual solo episode flair.
Because whether it was online mentees, observers who have come into the gym, our team of independent contractors or people coming in to attend the Lee Taft seminar, I’ve had A LOT of the same conversations lately.
People want to know how to run their business more effectively.
How to get out of their own heads and coach more effectively.
Or they just want to know…would I ever take an intern again?
Well this episode has a little something for everyone, so let’s dive in!
