Katie shares stories of her daughters’ athletic triumphs, proving that growing up in a CrossFit gym builds more than just muscles. JHo reflects on the idea of "quarters in broken machines," exploring the importance of focus and investing in what truly works. Plus, they review key findings from the Two Brain Business Report and why the FTC's crackdown on fake reviews is a game changer for gym owners. Tune in for practical tips, relatable parenting fails, and a dose of inspiration to end the year strong.
