This week is all about getting sh&t done. We're joined by the #GSD entrepreneur, Julie Weldon. Julie is the co-founder of A Salty Rim - a business consulting firm and host of the GSD Entrepreneur Podcast.

Today's format is a little different. Julie and I each bring in an article or an excerpt from a book to dig a little deeper.

Julie brings in an article she wrote for Box Pro Magazine - "How to Quit Something Well" http://boxpromag.com/how-to-quit-something-well/

We chat through the idea of putting in the required work to find success vs. knowing when to throw in the towel. We share some examples of gym owners we really respect who have seen incredible results once they stopped looking for magic bullets and started putting in the REAL work.

I brought in an excerpt from The Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday. "Today I escaped from the crush of circumstances, or better put, I threw them out, for the crush wasn't from outside me but in my own assumptions." - Marcus Aurelius

We chat through what it means to serve the greater mission and to control the things within your own purview.

1. Finding my “why”

2. Failing in another business

3. Leaving my full-time job

4. Hiring our first coach.

Ep 58 | Find a Good Trainer, Be Reasonable, and We Blow the Lid off Big Coconut

We jump right into some listening questions from a previous episode related to ramping up your training and intensity. With some clarification, we determine that the client-trainer relationship was perhaps not a great fit.

Other topics include: how to do a proper plank, are bodyweight exercises considered resistance training, and how do we reconcile the need to do increasingly more volume/intensity with your ability to recovery.

The bulk this show is dedicated to a position statement from the American Heart Association related to saturated fat. The most salacious point in this statement has to do with coconut oil, specifically saturated fat in coconut oil.

Thanks for listening, leaving a review, and sharing with a friend!

Pat Burke is a 6-time CrossFit Games Competitor as well as the Founder of MBS CrossFit in Colorado.

In this episode, Pat shares with us the story of how he founded his Affiliate during a time in his life when he lost everything - including his house. In Pat's words - when you have nothing, all you can focus on is one thing. It's through this focus that Pat has gone on to open a second affiliate built upon the same principles.

In this episode, we ask the following questions:

- What is different in CrossFit today vs. 2008?

- How do you balance your own training with owning your gym?

- How do you distinguish between CrossFit the sport and what your members do everyday?

- What is our strategic advantage over other Group Fitness models, like Gold's Fit or Orange Theory?
