#431 - How We Coach and Run Our Business

You have permission to believe. Today, we talk about coaching and how we approach coaching, both with athletes and ourselves. We also talk about our business model, which we're sure a lot of people will question. In essence, we believe in going with our gut, even if (sometimes especially if) that means we're bucking the trends. Plus, previews and predictions for Challenge Daytona. Topics: Don't forget to check out our C26 Club Program where we plan your entire 2021 Race Season for $349.
