As a former gym owner of a 300+ member gym who sold almost exactly one year ago, Minutes 20-24 are the most real and accurate representation of the experience I’ve ever heard.
Thank you for nailing that transition on the head. It was the hardest and best thing I’ve ever done. I think we need a support group 🙂
