Well my friends it’s been a hot minute, but we’re BACK with a new Q&A podcast!
Now in the past when I’ve done these, I’ve always posted to IG and hoped (prayed!) that my core audience would see it and ask their questions.
But this time I decided to get smart, sent it out to my newsletter list, and we got an absolute TON of awesome questions.
In this episode we cover everything from increasing your income, to in-season training, to force plate testing, to gen pop program design and so much more.
Needless to say there’s something in here for every trainer and coach, so I know you’re going to love it.
Let’s do this!
At the end of the day, you have to find high level trainers and coaches to to surround yourself with.
