If you’ve ever wrapped up a CrossFit, OrangeTheory, or F45 workout, you know the scoreboard moment — everyone posts their time, their reps, their results. It’s motivating, it’s competitive…and sometimes, it’s humbling. But what if instead of letting competition divide us, we used it to collaborate and grow stronger together?

In this episode of The Fitness of Business, we explore how collaboration can be the ultimate growth strategy — in and out of the gym. You’ll learn how to partner with peers in your industry without losing your edge, ways to spot opportunities that elevate everyone, and why lifting others up might just be the fastest way to level up your own business.

The Perfectionist Mindset: Why “Just Right” Conditions Never Come in Business

• Are you waiting for perfect conditions before you...do the thing?

In this episode of The Fitness of Business, we dive into the hidden weight of perfectionism and how it shows up for entrepreneurs. From waiting for “perfect conditions” before starting (whether it’s running again or launching a business idea) to constantly comparing ourselves to where we used to be, perfectionism can feel like discipline…but often keeps us stuck.

I'm joined by Sam Field, therapist, consultant, and founder of Field Therapy, whose work focuses on connection, nourishment, and collective care. Together, they explore:

• Why so many business owners identify as “recovering perfectionists”
• The difference between high standards and paralyzing expectations
• How to spot when perfectionism is serving you—and when it’s sabotaging you
• Practical ways to move forward, even when things aren’t perfect

If you’ve ever found yourself saying “I’ll start when…” or hesitating to launch until everything looks flawless, this conversation will remind you: progress matters more than perfection.

In this episode, we explore why being too close to your business is like trying to coach yourself through a brutal high intensity workout - you can't see your own form breaking down when you're just trying to get through the last round. Discover how seeking feedback from trusted and credible resources, while facing realistic demands (not just what you want to hear), creates the emotional distance needed to make clear, strategic decisions. Learn why removing emotional attachment from your business choices doesn't mean caring less—it means creating space and healthy boundaries for the objectivity that unlocks real opportunity and sustainable growth.
