FITLETE Professional Update
The Resource Nexus
— EVENTS: We are cooking! 301 New events added. These were all 2025 annual or semi-annual events, meaning they were not courses, workshops, or certification-style events. A fun anecdote to consider is of the 301 events, 74 offered a virtual experience alongside the in-person event. This means ~25% offered a virtual experience either alongside their in-personal model or have gone fully virtual. Historically, from the data I have collected, this number is usually around the 8-12% mark. (I did not separate pre or post-2020 events)
— EQUIPMENT: I made some listing updates to the number of companies here. I included some more small business suppliers and manufacturers based in the USA. While I am not deeply embedded in the political scene, I do know there have been some “tensions” that might drive you to look for more local options. The USA map has been the focus in the initial build, and while I have collected companies outside of the USA I have yet to create an interface for them on-site.
If you are looking for USA-based companies, Made-in-USA products, or veteran-owned companies, I have a total of 176. You can even see if they offer local pick-up options because we all know that shipping can add unnecessary costs.
FITLETE Radio
We have two new episodes! I believe this series will be a new episode that will be shown 2x per week. Episodes in this series will be under 3o minutes long and allow you to build more connections with like-minded coaches. You will find their websites and Instagram links at the bottom if you check the full show notes. I encourage you reach out to say hello.

Personal Update
— I have to say I am excited about the direction of the podcast. I had this idea for the shows I wanted to do, and while I don’t think it was wise of me to wait so long to execute it, I am glad I did because the technology I needed wasn’t available to do the types of things I wanted to do. I wanted the show to be a mix of short solo episodes, recorded Q&As, and some interviews. Now, I am not a good podcast host or comfortable speaking to myself in a monologue format, so I was really self-conscious about getting started doing those things before feeling comfortable. The momentum is now on my side with the spotlight series of episodes so that I can get myself going with the next scary thing.
