    Episode #502: Mastering Resume Writing and Career Pivots with Barbara Safani
    2024/06/11
    Barbara Safani began her career in human resources with a specialization in recruiting candidates. Her career took a transformative turn when she found herself searching for new opportunities and ended up having to revamp her own professional narrative. This provided her with valuable insights into the many challenges job seekers face. Motivated by her newfound perspective, she decided to leverage her recruitment skills to help candidates present themselves more effectively to potential employers. She now dedicates herself to aiding job seekers in crafting compelling resumes and narratives to successfully land their desired positions.

They explore the intricacies of resume writing, the importance of LinkedIn, and how to effectively communicate your career journey. Whether you're looking to pivot industries, understand the value of transferable skills, or simply want tips on job searching in today's market, this episode is packed with valuable insights. If you choose to seek professional help, Safani states, "If somebody does decide they want to work with someone professionally, it can be a little bit daunting. It's not a super regulated industry. I would encourage people to do their homework. There there are multiple certifications that resume writers go through in order to really hone their writing skills. If you're working with somebody or if you if you inquire to somebody, ask them if you'll be working with them or someone on their team. Because you might like that person or develop a rapport, but then you're handed off to somebody else." Key themes discussed Transitioned from HR to career coaching expertise.LinkedIn complements traditional resumes, but has limitations.Resumes should highlight achievements, not just tasks.Explaining job transitions and balancing job search.Candidates overlook red flags, need industry transition.Choose authentic but non-damaging weaknesses for interviews.Appreciate your impact and mentorship in community. A few key takeaways: 1. Safani emphasizes the importance of identifying and highlighting transferable skills when changing careers. She points out that many skills acquired in one industry can be relevant and valuable in another. 2. Resumes should tell a story of accomplishments rather than just listing job responsibilities. Barbara advises job seekers to focus on how their actions benefited their employers, thus creating a compelling narrative that showcases their impact. 3. While LinkedIn is an essential tool for professional networking and visibility, it has limitations. A thoughtfully crafted resume can provide more detailed and specific information suited to particular job applications. Both should be used in tandem to complement each other. 4. Barbara highlights that most people secure jobs through relationships rather than by applying online. She advises job seekers to use their resumes as tools to anchor conversations and build relationships with potential employers, rather than relying solely on online job portals. 5. It is important to account for transitions and explain any gaps or frequent job changes upfront on a resume. Employers may make assumptions about gaps or job hopping, so providing context, such as a role being ended due to downsizing or a consulting gig, can help eliminate potential biases and lead to more productive conversations.

  • Episode #501: Lowering Energy Costs for Health Clubs-with David Energy CEO, James McGinniss

    Episode #501: Lowering Energy Costs for Health Clubs-with David Energy CEO, James McGinniss
    2024/06/06
    James McGinniss is the Co-Founder and CEO of David Energy, a technology-enabled electricity provider that caters primarily to multi-location businesses, quick-serve restaurants, and fitness brands, with a special emphasis on the latter. A mechanical engineering Master's graduate from the University of Texas, James was drawn to the renewable energy sector during a significant solar and wind power boom in the state. Witnessing firsthand the economic opportunities in solar, he recognized this as a pivotal moment in the industry and was inspired to contribute to the burgeoning field. David Energy aims to solve various energy-related challenges for its clients, leveraging technology to enhance efficiency and sustainability. MCGinniss also discusses how their platform not only offers lower and fixed pricing to safeguard against market fluctuations but also leverages smart technology to optimize energy use and drive cost savings. They explore case studies, including a compelling example of a fitness franchisee saving $11,000 in energy costs in just the first year. Pete and James also touch on the broader implications of these savings, from enhancing business valuations to providing peace of mind for owners wary of scammy energy rates. There are a variety of things that can happen where owners end up paying much more than they have to. James states, "The provider could miss-bill them for the wrong amount of volume. There's something called slamming, where providers just fraudulently sign up locations to their electricity supply rate, without the the owner knowing, because they've done it with the GM on-site or something. They could be paying twice as much as they should be . . . and there's a lot more." Key themes discussed Enforce thermostat rules, monitor HVAC, audit bills.Business models sharing savings, diminishing returns concern.Understanding electricity providers, regulation, and competition.Energy cost savings through efficient energy management.New technologies transforming energy use and distribution.Options to lower fixed costs and implementation. A few key takeaways: 1. James discussed how his company stands out by providing fixed electricity rates to protect customers from market price fluctuations. This financial predictability helps businesses plan their budgets more effectively. 2. David Energy primarily targets multi-location businesses. Their technology-driven approach, involving smart thermostats and energy monitoring, has proven effective in reducing electricity costs. 3. The company’s process for onboarding new customers is designed to be efficient and minimally disruptive. Signing a contract, setting a start date, and installing necessary devices can be completed quickly, sometimes in just a few hours. 4. David Energy works with a range of businesses, from small gym owners to large corporate clients, aiming to provide substantial savings opportunities. Their mission is to bring advanced energy technologies to segments that have previously lacked access, thereby simplifying energy optimization for owners who lack the time to dive into this further. 5. Pete emphasized that the energy cost savings achieved through David Energy could significantly impact the valuation of a business. He suggested that the savings could multiply the business's sale price by 5 to 8 times the initial savings amount, highlighting the strategic importance of energy optimization in business planning.

    Episode #500: Navigating Private Equity and Corporate Growth with Pete Moore
    2024/06/04
    In today's special episode (big #500!) host Pete Moore hands the mic to industry veteran Al Noshirvani and dives into a wealth of topics currently affecting the HALO (Health, Active Lifestyle, Outdoor) sector. Listen for insightful stories about overcoming business challenges, from employee and landlord issues to the complexities of deal funding, and aligning management teams. Pete shares his personal and professional experiences and Al (who has been "in the room" on some deal closings) praises Pete's innovative, out-of-the-box, deal-closing abilities and delves into how to maintain optimism and transparency in business transactions. Pete continues and discusses the pressures of public markets on companies like F45 and Peloton, and the high debt burdens imposed by private equity. He goes on to explore the need for gyms to adapt to emerging trends, such as family fitness and workout recovery, and lays out his vision for the future of the HALO space among societal health concerns. Finally, Moore hits hard on the (ever present, ultimately harmful, and yet still ongoing) "race to the bottom" in gym membership pricing, and his optimistic views on expanding activities like pickleball. On "irrational development" Pete states, "There's enough private equity out there so that you don't have to subject yourself to running a public company in the spotlight. Just keep it private, and run it methodically . . . I think the push to go public can cause people to get over their skis. And then when you do that, you crash hard. So that's gonna be an unfortunate black eye in the industry." Key themes discussed Entrepreneurship driven by personal frustration, innovation.Understanding movie, discipline, and successful private equity.Club shirts, logo on, opportunity for growth.Public markets demand consistent performance from businesses.Private equity, F45 went public, financial pressures.Poor balance sheets affect good businesses. Be aware.Fair and transparent transactions for mutual satisfaction.Negotiating partnership deals with fair equity impact.Independent sponsors lack committed capital, seek funding.Negatives controls are positive; consent needed. A few key takeaways: 1. Pete dives into the intricacies of handling various obstacles in business deals, from employee issues and landlord disputes to the complexities of securing funding. He underscores the importance of maintaining optimism, transparency, and fostering fair and collaborative agreements for all parties involved. 2. Moore shares his personal fitness journey, highlighting the benefits of early workout to kickstart the day. Additionally, he discusses the importance of focusing on workout recovery, emphasizing the need for health clubs to integrate recovery programs to enhance member satisfaction and performance. 3. Moore and Noshirvani delve into the psyche of entrepreneurs, pointing out that personal frustrations often drive the inception of new companies. They compare different rounds of investment to experiments, where deliberate growth strategies are crucial. Moore shares his experience and tips on dealing with entrepreneurs as an investment banker, stressing the criticality of addressing potential background check issues and managing confidentiality towards the end of a deal. 4. The podcast offers a thorough examination of the fitness industry's growth and challenges. Pete discusses the pressure on companies like F45 and Peloton upon going public, given their low franchisee financials compared to competitors. He also touches on the increasing involvement of private equity leading to high debt burdens on companies. The episode suggests that managing expectations is vital, regardless of whether a company is privately held or publicly traded. 5. Moore expresses optimism about the future, highlighting the potential amidst societal health concerns and the expansion of varied fitness activities. He emphasizes the need for health clubs to cater to family fitness, address the obesity crisis, and adapt to emerging activities like pickleball. Moore advises health clubs to customize programs based on individual needs and cautions against irrational development within the industry. Click here to download transcript.

  • Episode #499: Growth Strategies and Business Exits-Expert Tips from Ryan Valencic

    Episode #499: Growth Strategies and Business Exits-Expert Tips from Ryan Valencic
    2024/05/31
    Ryan Valencic, an accomplished entrepreneur with a 12+ years in the trenches, has built and successfully exited multiple businesses. With a family background in franchising, Ryan continues to hone his skills as a serial entrepreneur, currently overseeing multiple companies. He is in the midst of launching an innovative health tech platform and about a year ago, Ryan joined Cultivate Advisors to lead their partnerships, drawing on his extensive professional experience to drive new opportunities. In this episode, Pete and Ryan dive into concepts like business owner freedom, effective coaching, and what it may look like in the future when it comes to growing and exiting a business successfully. Ryan also highlights the importance of mission alignment, disciplined execution, and the value of saying no to ensure business success. Whether you're an established entrepreneur or just starting out, Valencic's insights on navigating the business landscape, particularly in the HALO sector, promise to be educational. "Don't create yourself a job," states Valencic. "You build yourself as the keystone of the company and your removal is going to have your exact skill set, which is probably close to 0. So I think it's being in a spot where you left the systems, the processes, and the product or service that you sell be the value of the business, not your unique skill set to where your removal collapses the company." Key themes discussed Selling a business takes a lot of work!Entrepreneurs should build sellable businesses, not jobs.Mission alignment is critical for business success.Navigating traditional medicine, creating platform for connections.Buying a franchise requires honesty, time, and commitment.Navigate and (try to!) steer clear of the inevitable bumpy ride. A few key takeaways: 1. Ryan emphasizes the importance of establishing a business that can function and grow independently of the founder's direct involvement. This involves creating robust systems, processes, and products/services that hold their value irrespective of the founder's unique skills. 2. Successful business operations require a mission alignment among team members and stakeholders. Ryan highlights that having passionate and mission-aligned people is crucial for driving a company's vision and ensuring consistency in purpose and goals. 3. The decision to franchise should be taken cautiously, particularly ensuring that the unit economics make sense and that the business model is replicable by others. He advises entrepreneurs to fully grasp their business's financial viability before venturing into franchising. 4. Regarding advisory services, Ryan stresses the importance of matchmaking between business owners and advisors who can best fulfill their needs. He asserts that advisory shouldn't require hard selling; the business owner should recognize the value intuitively. 5. Ryan differentiates between motivation and discipline, asserting that while motivation might get you started, discipline is what sees you through to the end. Successful entrepreneurship is often about consistent, disciplined actions rather than sporadic bursts of motivation.

Kevin provides an in-depth look at the strategic decisions and renovations that not only helped them recover post-COVID but have also positioned them for future success. From creating a spacious new fitness layout to establishing a booming pickleball center, Kevin reveals the honest conversations, tough decisions, and innovative thinking that went into revitalizing the space. This episode is packed with insights on leadership, member engagement, and trend-setting in the fitness industry. "If you left the club in 2022, the new Atlantic Club today is nothing like it was. We're a brand new club, brand new progress, brand new facilities, brand new equipment . . . and it was all about being ready so we could be where we need to be in 2025," stresses McHugh.

This included implementing social distancing measures by moving the free weight equipment to a separate area and creating spacious cardio and group exercise rooms. 2. Management did not shy away from making bold decisions, such as converting the gymnasium into a spinning studio and later into a comprehensive fitness area. They anticipated and managed short-term pain for long-term gain, with the goal of better positioning themselves for the future. 3. Kevin emphasized the importance of effectively communicating changes to both staff and members. They involved managers in the planning process, addressed potential complaints ahead of time, and made sure everyone understood the long-term vision and benefits of the renovations. 4.

The introduction of services like a high-intensity studio, personalized training studios, and pickleball courts (in place of a turf center) showcased their commitment to offering varied experiences for members. 5. McHugh also underscored the value of staying connected with industry peers through platforms like the Health & Fitness Association (formerly IHRSA.)

  • Episode #497: Innovative Fit Tech Spotlight-Sara Al Hardan Shares Phantom Edge Launch

    Episode #497: Innovative Fit Tech Spotlight-Sara Al Hardan Shares Phantom Edge Launch
    2024/05/23

    Sara Al Hardan's journey into the fit tech industry began unexpectedly when she joined a small startup that unfortunately didn't succeed. This eventually led her to connect with Jeff Miller who shared with her an innovative lateral motion device called the Phantom Edge, which he and his brother Ken invented. With a strong background and passion for health, wellness, and mobility—fueled by her personal connection to Parkinson's disease through her mother—Sara jumped in.

    She and Pete discuss the market need for posterior lateral motion devices and the potential impact on rehab and physical therapy. Sara also delves into the aspects of launching a startup, emphasizing the importance of strategic marketing and fostering key relationships within the industry.

    About the Edge itself, Sara states, "This is a fully instrumented device, which is a little bit different. Because you're moving side to side, what it does is actually takes bilateral measurements for a number of different attributes that's going to help not only the end user on the machine, but also the physical therapist or an athletic trainer who's working with them."

    Key themes discussed

    • Found fitness tech, connected with Co-Founder. Joined company.
    • Integrating tech for improved physical therapy outcomes.
    • New retail launch for wellness and longevity.
    • Positive feedback, progress, and preparation for launch.
    • Focus on marketing ROI for health industry.
    • Work smarter, not harder, build relationships. Passion.

    A few key takeaways:

    1. The Phantom Edge's unique feature is its posterior lateral motion, different from traditional fitness devices like an elliptical or rower. The device specifically targets joint health in the hips and knees, with an emphasis on mobility and motion for overall health benefits.

    2. The product is designed to support joint health by providing friction resistance and a range of motion that targets major and minor muscle groups in the lower body. It can be used for rehabilitation post-surgery, physical therapy, sports performance, and general fitness, offering measurable goals for users.

    3. The company plans to target both professional audiences (healthcare providers, physical therapists, sports medicine) and consumers by offering a professional unit priced at $3,900 and a future consumer version at a lower price point. Their focus includes partnerships with wellness chains, boutique fitness studios, and key industry influencers to establish brand credibility and create awareness.

A few key takeaways: 1. Neal discussed the journey of creating Stick Mobility, starting from a simple idea inspired by stick stretching.

The importance of certifying instructors was emphasized.

  • Episode #495: From Athlete to Innovator-Dan Schreiber's Creation of WearBands

    Episode #495: From Athlete to Innovator-Dan Schreiber's Creation of WearBands
    2024/05/13
    Dan Schreiber is a dedicated fitness enthusiast and a former athlete who enjoys the simplicity and effectiveness of outdoor exercises. With a philosophy rooted in maximizing training efficiency, Dan appreciates workouts that integrate both strength and conditioning without the confines of traditional gym settings. Embracing the freedom of outdoor activities, he often engages in HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training), plyometrics, and hiking to maintain a robust fitness regimen. His athletic background has significantly influenced his views on training methodologies. He often reflects on the traditional approach of separating weight training and field drills in sports training, advocating for a more seamless integration of these components. His experience led him to develop Wearbands--innovative training aids that combine strength training with functional movement, ensuring a comprehensive workout aligning with the natural movements experienced in sports and everyday life. In his pursuit of fitness, Dan is always searching for or creating tools that simulate the demands of athletic performance while simplifying the process, enabling him to stay active, engaged, and perpetually ready for any physical challenge. Regarding pricing and customization, Dan states, "We have different packages, but things start at roughly $100. We have a youth package for $80. We have different resistance levels as well, which when compared to the competition, they try to do the one-size-fits-all and compete on price. If you're going to put resistance bands on a body, it can't be one size fits all. If you do that, it's only going to work for a very narrow range of people. So we create multiple levels." Key themes discussed Resistance bands activate entire kinetic chain effectively.Questioning patent protection and promoting marketing over legal action.Valuing fair prices for athletic product results.Entrepreneurship, NIL, grassroots marketing, industry's future.Patience in business for long-term success. A few key takeaways: 1. Dan's journey developing WearBands highlights how personal challenges can lead to innovative solutions. His transition from college athlete to a busy father seeking efficient workout solutions exemplifies how personal needs often drive innovation. 2. WearBands is aimed at integrating resistance training seamlessly into everyday movements. This product emphasizes enhancing performance without altering natural movement patterns, intending to engage the whole kinetic chain. 3. Dan emphasizes the importance of patience and focus on generating profits. This approach ensures sustainability and longevity, avoiding the pitfalls of chasing unprofitable or premature expansion. 4. Dan also mentioned his strategic shift from broad online advertising to targeted outreach, to specific retail environments and sports associations. This demonstrates a focused approach to growth, doubling down on sectors that show the most promise. 5. Another recurring theme is the challenge of educating the market about an innovative product like WearBands. Dan chats about his experiences of gradual adoption among professionals and the importance of having credible endorsements and scientifically backed data. Click here to download transcript.
