056 - How to Make More Money by helping Your Co-Workers Nov 09, 2017

Show notes

This is an absolute must listen for anyone frustrated by their co-workers. “It’s not my job” might be the best thing to say if you want to lose your job but also the most tempting thing to say when your co-workers under perform. Usually we are proponents of just knowing and doing your job, staying within your responsibilities and absolutely nailing them. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t ask for more responsibility, it means that when you move off of your task you risk doing someone else’s job the wrong way and screwing it all up. But today we are talking about when that is poor advice. Today we are talking about how you can help your co-workers do their job better and in turn, make yourself more money.

054 - What Fitness Professionals can learn from Special Education Nov 02, 2017

Show notes

Despite major age and experience differences, the experience of working with adults in a group setting is very similar to the experience of working with children in a school classroom. The tactics used in both are parallel, the need for versatility and introspection are the same, and the long reaching value of outcomes are profoundly similar. In one case we are educating the world’s youth, in another, the world’s Active populations, but in all cases we are just people trying to sell ourselves to other people. Enjoy this very unique episode as Dr. Sean interviews his wife, a special education teacher in a high school biology classroom who is also a CrossFit athlete on the parallels of her two worlds.

Buckle up for this episode, Stuart Brauer moves fast and he moves intentionally.

His company, WTF Gym Talk is educating fitness professionals on the bottom line, the top line, and every line in between. One line to sum this podcast up; “I love my dog too, but I don’t bring him to the fucking gym and neither should you.”
