This episode is based on an encounter I had in January 2020. It made me realize the danger of putting the future of the industry in the hands of those with the largest marketing budget. The irony is those very same companies relied on individual teachers and small studios to begin to make a name for themselves in the industry. Yet where are they now that covid has hit and flipped the industry on its head? If you are an "ambassador" you're golden, or in this case yellow, like a lemon. But if you aren't in their chosen circle, look out.
