June 10| Being an effective communicator is the second most important skill a coach needs to posses after gaining science & evidence-based knowledge about the human body.
Personal Update
I was on another Podcast! The Fitness for Life Podcast with Jackson Lohr. This episode was recorded, I believe, about a month and a half or 2 months ago, so I forgot all the things we talked about; it was great to listen to everything again. I met Jackson at the Raise The Bar Conference in 2023 during a lunch break in the lobby of the hotel venue. A small group of us created a little “group lunch” and got to know each other well. It was great to catch up with Jackson and talk shop after he could not attend this past year’s event because of the birth of his son.
Fantastic podcasts I heard last week:
The PT Entrepreneur Podcast: Ep710 | Navigating The Unknown Of Entrepreneurship With Brooke Miller
The ActiveLife Podcast: CrossFit is more dangerous than they want you to believe, and it's still worth doing - Amy West
Founders Podcast by David Senra: #351 The Founder of Rolex: Hans Wilsdorf
Fitness For Life Podcast: Ep # 21 - George Pagan III: Simplifying Fitness, Progression & Regression, the Importance of a Coach

Professional Update
In a brief recap, I want to discuss the website's progress and the tools available. This year has been about retooling and reworking the solutions to bring better value to visitors. This will also be some good practice explaining(verbalizing) the value and features in better elevator pitches( because you know I’m the type of person who strikes up conversations with strangers in an elevator).
