Business & Bikes

I had a fantastic time sitting down with Tim! He has such a great perspective on business, bikes, and life in general. 

Body (Questions and Topics I’d like to cover)

1. Give us some background on how you got into cycling, and the different periods you went through. (beginner, pro, advisory role)

2. I know that education is a big deal in your family, you and your wife both have your Doctorates in Physical Therapy. How do you think cycling and all the attributes associated with it prepared you and helped you through school and in your business, post-degree?

3. Tell us more about SoCal Bike PT, did you always know you were going to create your own practice after, when did you make that decision and what pros and cons were you weighing out?

4. You have a lot going on day-to-day. How do you juggle and prioritize everything, and manage your time?

5. I listen to a lot of podcasts and my favorite is when we get some really practical, actionable advice. What can we share with the audience that would immediately have them feeling better on the bike, and going faster?

6. What does the future look like for you when it comes to bikes, SoCal Bike PT, etc.?

Ending Questions:

1. Favorite book or podcast, and why? Specific episode?

2. What piece of advice would you give your younger self?

I'm so glad I had the chance to sit down with Cory at a local coffee shop and talk about his experience on and off the bike. We talked a lot about the social and digital media side of Legion!

Podcast Intro – premade segment

Episode Intro - **After the fact** Today I had the opportunity to sit down with John Wessling and go over being an athlete in general and how he found a career in motocross coaching and made his way to the top step of the podium of CAT 1 Mountain bike nationals. If someone is looking to grow a coaching business or train develop as an athlete, this is a must-listen!

Body (Questions and Topics I’d like to cover)

1. Tell me about how you grew up as an athlete and eventually found your way to mountain biking?

2. How did the XC Skiing and Motocross help with your cycling development?

3. What did your plan look like when targeting the 2019 MTB National Championships, ATP & Weekly?

4. When did you decide that you were going to coach athletes as a career?

5. Did you have any struggles when trying to monetize your passion for Moto, XC Skiing, & Cycling?

6. I know that recently you took over the coaching position for the UCLA Cycling team, as a former collegiate cyclist I think that’s freaking fantastic, tell me about how that came to be and what you’re most excited for?

Ending Questions:

1. Favorite book or podcast, and why? Specific episode?

2. What piece of advice would you give your younger self?

Outro  – Reflect: I loved this entire podcast episode with John but my favorite part was his departing advice. Many people need focus on the positivity and community that comes with cycling and in some cases, it may make sense to train less and work with a coach so that you can get the best of both worlds.

- Call to Action: If you want to follow their journey, follow them on Instagram at @jrwessling, also share this episode with someone who’s may benefit from listening
