“I could never find my ‘why,’” says Rachel Katzman, about life before she founded P.volve, a functional fitness franchise which launched in 2017. After looking for a way to heal her body from high impact workouts and a scoliosis diagnosis, she finally found a trainer whose functional workouts gave her the results she wanted as well renewed confidence, centeredness and strength. With that, everything clicked and Rachel was determined to help other women reach their fitness goals with these purposeful workouts that take advantage of the body’s biometrics. Classes are available online and at one of the many franchise locations that continue to pop up all over the country. 

Top takeaways from today’s episode:

• Launch test. Get it out there and see if it works
• A franchise serves as a marketing vehicle for all of your other products
• You grow and get better at what you do when you get feedback
• Be clear about your mission, vision and your ‘why’ and don’t veer away from that

Quotes

• “I never could find my ‘Why.’ I wanted to go out, I wanted to party and I wanted to do all these things. And it's when I found P.volve that everything shifted. I just wanted to work.” (10:00-10:22 | Rachel) 

• “Be very clear about your mission, your vision and your ‘why.’ And don't veer off that. Don't let outside influences come in. Just be so clear on who you are, what you are, why you are that way, and how you're different.” (40:20-40:39 | Rachel) 

• “I will say that probably was one of the hardest decisions and things I ever went through in my life, getting divorced from the co-founder of the company when we've been very much out there together. And after a very long time, I just realized, I deserve to be happy. And if I'm not happy the company's never going to succeed. It took a lot of lessons for me to learn that I also need to put myself first and do what's best for me so that everybody else can succeed as well. (29:21-29:58 | Rachel)
