I couldn't be more excited about this episode. You all should know by now how much I'm obsessed with Fitness Technology. I love testing out new products and seeing where the future is with fitness technology. I reached out to one of the best people on YouTube who review Fitness Technology and not someone that looks like they've never run a mile in their life.

Jeff Rizzo from RIZKNOWS on YouTube, he's an expert regarding Fitness Technology and is obsessed with working out.

We're BACK! With another episode of the CRO Podcast. Today we're going deep into the law. Laws are very tricky, especially for Strength Coaches. I bring on a Starting Strength Coach who is a Lawyer by day that talks all about how to protect yourself as a Strength Coach and what to be aware of when you're starting a business or coaching clients on the side. This is very important, don't miss this episode. Thank you Brodie for taking the time.
