Eric is a LMT in Idaho, and also a business coach for Massage Therapists and Bodyworkers. He and Mark had decided that we would record an episode about having an exit strategy or retirement plan from this industry. That was the original plan but as often happens, we took many turns and discussed Eric’s Massage Therapy journey, his family, making home movies with his 10 siblings, going to Massage school in Texas, how his career has evolved, and what soft skills he feels are important for Massage Therapists. We did of course discuss retirement because Eric reinforces the importance of financial planning with his coaching clients and he is very savvy when it comes to money.
