Episode 146 of Clicks and Bricks Business Podcast is a good one. Thanks for tuning in to the discussion that Ken has with Bree who is a business owner in the fitness industry who was thrown a curve ball when COVID started. She didn't quit, what she decided to do was take her business online and completely restructure the way she helps her clients!  

(01:15) Bree tells her story about how she got into the fitness industry and became her own business owner 

(05:00) Bree explains how personal trainers run their own business owners, required to pay dues to a big corporation 

(10:30) Balance with Bree is a passion inspired business for Bree, she had to remind herself of why she is doing this.

(14:50) Ken and Bree discuss how technology is going to require business owners to be genuine and a relatable human brand

(30:00) Bree tells us how fitness professionals and fitness trainers are able to host and have virtual fitness classes.

About Bree and her business:  Bree’s passion for fitness started in childhood with her love for competitive cheerleading. With over 10 years on the squad, and a few years coaching her high school team, she realized how profound an impact not only physical fitness, but mental and social well-being played on her  overall health. It was also during this period of her life that she struggled with body image issues and had a difficult relationship with food. As an adolescent in a very image conscious society and sport, it was very challenging to love and accept her curvy shape.  ‍ Over the course of her educational pursuits, Bree studied the human body and mind extensively, in hopes of learning how to help both herself and others, embrace their uniqueness, maximize their potential, and celebrate their bodies for all of their amazing abilities. She always knew that she would re-enter the coaching realm after finishing school, so she continued to educate herself on fitness training and coaching in tandem with her university studies.

Welcome to the 144th episode of Clicks and Bricks with Ken and he is speaking with Kim. Kim has a very inspiring story about overcoming adversity. She was not given life on a silver platter, this business owner has bounced back from "rock-bottom" and keeps pushing on.

About Kim: Author / Keynote Speaker / Master Coach / Master Trainer / Podcast Host. People hire me to give them the clarity, confidence, and conviction to pursue their God-given purpose and design. I have a passion to equip people to unleash themselves and find their power of voice and choice and become the very best version of themselves.  Originally from Johannesburg, South Africa, now resident in Colorado Springs, I have over 30 years’ experience in developing individuals and teams to achieve higher level thinking and results. I bring a width and depth of experience to any size and type company with people and culture challenges. I am an expert at developing individuals from the “inside-out” by helping them evaluate and re-map the thinking, habits, and behaviors that drive desired outcomes. This, in turn, helps business leaders create healthy cultures to improve results, by empowering people to do their best work and live fulfilled, outcome-driven lives.  My own life journey taught me (the hard way), that there is a better way to live. My years of a successful executive career in  Workforce development and Human Resources, included an equal amount of roller-coaster-like life events through some tough transitions. Add in several seasons of depression, lack of self-belief, and settling for second best, and you get a snippet of who I really am.

The Motor Chain enables the management, sharing and transfer of classic and collectible vehicles and their associated documentation. It does this by first allowing the vehicle’s owner to establish an immutable record of its history to date by registering documents and creating events in The Motor Chain, and then enables continual, near real-time updating of its record through the platform. These updates are managed through the platform’s intuitive interface, and to further simplify the process, trusted service providers and certifiers can be permitted to register events such as restorations or certifications of status to the vehicle’s history.
