Going deep on a particular training methodology is a rite of passage for any young coach. The danger is when we stick around this tasty fountain of truth for too long and neglect to look outside of where we’re at. Every culture has it’s dogmas, and if we want to develop a balanced perspective on anything, we need to be able to zoom out and asses our own dogmatism.

I detail my time when I was closest to the Movement Culture and what I’ve learned in the years following.

In todays chat, Pauly and I dive into one of the key challenges we’ve faced when bringing new coaches into our business. We bring this challenge back to a single concept – the specialist vs the generalist. We define what each of these labels means and how that can affect the coaches you have in your space, or your journey as a coach.

Jumping between roles in your business is a big challenge when it comes to productivity.

If you run a business chances are you have plates spinning all over the shop. If you don’t have systems in place, you’ll likely be unproductive. And when that happens, plates start to fall. The business suffers.

Today i’m joined by Rikki, tribesman here at Jungle Botany and owner of two businesses. We spoke at length about his first baby, Waw Handplanes, back on episode 157. Listen to that if you haven’t already done so as it’s a hell of a story and gives real insight into building such a brand.

Today we talk about ways we both stay productive when you’re constantly switching between roles.

Today we’re talking about the GOAT of gym equipment.

The one piece that has been central to the JB ethos since day one. This piece of kit allows you maximum flexibility. It gives you the freedom to explore multiple training modalities in the one space. And if you value a variety of training styles (like we do), flexibility is paramount.

It can be hard to realise how scary it is for a newbie walking into your gym…

It’s a second home for your OG’s. But for an outsider, it all kinds of intimidation. Even for me as a gym owner, gym goer and certified savage, approaching a new space always makes me a little nervous.

Hospitality is at the heart of today’s chat. We talk about how vitally important it is that your staff make newbies welcome in your space. As well as the role the design of your gym and it’s appearance to the street plays in this equation.

I got into a heated debate with a fellow strength coach…

It started because he insisted Zercher Squats were an advanced exercise. And people would be better of Back Squatting for a few years before anything else. I disagreed. And the debate was on. A fulfilling exchange and a healthy expansion of perspectives.

Pauly and I recap on this debate, and go into a breakdown of what our training currently looks like. Injuries, squats, heavy stuff, and cows. In short, what you’re here for.

I asked Dylan what were the three things that surprised him most about running a gym. He’s been in the hot seat a good couple of years now. A perfect time to reflect. The gym-life ain’t always what it seems from the outside!
