Eric Malzone is a former microgym owner and podcast fiend.  He's published over 700+ episodes and has created several different shows that revolve around fitness & entrepreneurship.  While we could probably rap all day on running a microgym, I chose to deep dive with him on the topic of creating, growing, and operating a successful podcast. 

Anyone who currently is looking to improve their podcast or wants to start one - this is for you.

Enjoy. 

If there was one common denominator that I witness inside of the microgym industry as it relates to having staff/HR problems and simultaneously an ineffective marketing message - it's the inability to communicate.

In this episode, I'm going to break this down and give you some tactics that you can start deploying to get better at communication. 

This is a thesis I've been running with for years now and have produced other pieces of content around, but today I decided to provide some of the operational definitions that I use when trying to break this down to someone who doesn't understand how focusing on "Community" vs. Culture can put them in a very disadvantageous position. 

I've been known to say this phrase in certain situations:   "Sell your thing before you've created your thing."

And I stand by that...in certain situations.

I also stand by the belief that many times, it warrants you testing the waters organically before ever dropping a dollar into your business idea to see if it floats. 

Most microgym owners don't have a sales problem, they have a marketing problem.

But once that marketing puzzle gets hacked, lead nurture becomes the next bottleneck.

Remember, continue to follow up with prospects until they 'Die, Buy or Tell You To Fuck Off".

My hot take on the recent recall of the Tread and Tread+ from Peloton after 70+ children had been injured, with one tragically dying, from being unsupervised on the device.

We're back with another episode of Jammin' With Joe (founder of Flexx and Studio) jam on tech, business, startup culture and of course, relating it all back to the microgym industry.

This is a continuation of a few pieces of content I've made over the years where I talk about the importance of getting your hands dirty and learning the tricks of the trade before actually opening up your own shop. 

Took a drive down to the beach the other weekend so I had some time to kill during the 3 hour car ride.

Here's some ranting and rambling on various topics that I've been requested to hit on as it relates to owning a microgym. 

In this segment with the HBIC (Head Bitch In Charge) at Urban MVMNT HQ, we jam on the topic of HR, finding new talent and how developing that talent via the GWC analysis we've learned from Traction (a great book by Gino Wickman).

Hope you enjoy!
