We just got back from our first ever work trip abroad… and it definitely wasn’t just sun, food, and “working by the pool” 😅

In this episode of GEL & Tell, we’re breaking down what actually went to Cyprus. From filming content, working on new systems, meeting clients, and staying up until 1am scripting… to navigating very large Cypriot food portions and discovering a new obsession with iced coffee 👀

Running a business with your best friend sounds ideal… but there’s a lot no one tells you about it.

In this episode of GEL & Tell, we’re getting honest about what it’s really like being business partners and best friends.

From how we started, to what’s worked, what’s been challenging, and how we’ve learned to navigate disagreements, pressure, and everything in between.

We talk about:

• Why we decided to start a business together
• The biggest benefits of having a business partner
• The reality of disagreements and how we handle them
• Why trust, communication, and alignment matter more than anything
• What we’d recommend (and what we wouldn’t) if you’re thinking of doing the same

We dive into:

• How he transitioned from in-person PT to fully online coaching
• The reality of building a niche coaching business
• The biggest lessons (and mistakes) along the way
• Why doubling his income made him enjoy his business less
• And the bold decision to drop 25 clients
