Stay tuned. Welcome to 4 00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:19.800 the Transformation Station Podcast. I'm Christina, owner, operator, and founder 5 00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:22.679 of the Transformation Station, and this is where we talk 6 00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:26.359 about getting stronger while navigating real life. If you're trying 7 00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:29.519 to stay consistent through the ups and the downs and 8 00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:33.799 everywhere else in between, this is for you, all right. 9 00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:36.039 So we got Chris on the show with me today. 10 00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:39.759 Welcome back listeners. Hello Chris. Hello, all right, So we 11 00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:41.840 are flying off the handle of this because we have 12 00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:44.479 no script. Are you scared? 13 00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:47.920 Of course, I'm always afraid of what you're gonna say. 14 00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:50.920 I'm always afraid of what you're gonna say, and I'm like, 15 00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:53.000 we should do this right now, and I was like 16 00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:56.479 a little nervous. All right. So you've been around the 17 00:00:56.479 --> 00:01:02.119 Transformation Station since the location still in Cedar Point, but 18 00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:04.760 in Unit one and two instead of where we are now. 19 00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:10.200 What would you say is your biggest takeaway then versus today? 20 00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:15.000 As into what as in like what's different? What's different the. 21 00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:18.599 Gym, the community, the people that are in. 22 00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:22.920 It, the ViBe's what's changed about the vibe. I mean, 23 00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:23.319 I know. 24 00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:27.120 It's more than just a place to go and work out. 25 00:01:28.280 --> 00:01:31.480 It's there's connections. There's like friendships that are being made, 26 00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:35.120 like lifelong friendships. Now we have members that are their 27 00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:38.319 grandkids are intertwined, and the families are going out. So 28 00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:41.760 it's like it's truly like a home base for many 29 00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:44.280 of the people that come to work out. 30 00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:47.480 Yeah, that's that's actually a really good point. It's interesting 31 00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:49.560 because when you're so far in it, like how much 32 00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:51.760 I am, Like I'm right in the middle of it, 33 00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:58.920 sometimes I forget to step back and really appreciate what 34 00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:02.120 essentially what I've built without twooting my own horn. But 35 00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:03.840 it's easy to be in and be like, oh, I'm 36 00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:05.319 going to change this and this is going to be great, 37 00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:08.039 and let's do this. But you're right like taking a 38 00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:10.199 step back and being like, oh, look at the friendships 39 00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:11.960 that have been built, look at out all the life 40 00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:14.520 changes that have happened. Like it, not just like with 41 00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:18.439 us or with myself, but amongst everybody else. It's pretty cool. 42 00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:20.759 Definitely is a ripple effect, that's for sure. M hm. 43 00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:25.159 So what's it like, Let's say, what's it like? Living 44 00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:29.319 with an entrepreneur right now in this day crazy. 45 00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:36.800 It's it's kind of has its peaks and super fast peaks, 46 00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:38.759 kind of like being on a train. 47 00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:41.800 I think a train, you never know what's going to happen. 48 00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:46.639 Like when you looked at the new location, So the 49 00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:50.080 location that you're currently in, I think you just went 50 00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:52.159 to go look at it at like my lunch break, 51 00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:54.000 and then next thing, you know, before I even talk 52 00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:56.000 to you sign the papers and we have a moveing date. 53 00:02:56.360 --> 00:03:00.800 So I'm more of a slow down methodical let's draw 54 00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:04.159 pictures and count numbers, and I think about things from 55 00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:07.960 every angle. And you definitely work at a speed that 56 00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:09.479 is beyond superhuman. 57 00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:15.439 It's interesting. So when you say, like, okay, you work 58 00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:19.840 at a superhuman speed, did you really understand what you 59 00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:22.240 were signing up for when we entered our relationship. 60 00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:26.120 No, No, I think the crazy got crazier. 61 00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:29.400 Oh yeah, well I think too is the gym grew right, 62 00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:33.039 like my vision grew and I was able to in 63 00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:38.240 a healthy headspace, being happy, being able to adjust the 64 00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:41.080 transformation station to what I actually wanted it to be. 65 00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:45.240 So I think, like how I changed, the whole business 66 00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:48.360 changed at the same time. So it's pretty interesting in 67 00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:55.639 that way. What did you imagine it was? Like, I mean, like, 68 00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:58.599 what did you imagine like you knew that I ran 69 00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:02.400 a business? Did you truly know what it takes? 70 00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:05.240 No? No, I don't think you really know what it 71 00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:06.360 takes unless you're. 72 00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:10.960 In in it basically or like living it because you 73 00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:14.120 think that it's I don't know, just like a Monday 74 00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:17.319 to Friday, nine to five job. But it never ends, 75 00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:19.199 so it's constant. 76 00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:21.519 So even though people might see you only on the. 77 00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:24.120 Gym floor for a couple of hours coaching, but that's 78 00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:29.439 right twelve fifteen hours, or things behind the back that 79 00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:31.600 you'll see in computers and different aspects. 80 00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:34.839 So saying in like how much it actually takes in 81 00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:38.079 all the all the the attention, in all the hours, 82 00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:42.600 What is something that happens like behind the scenes that 83 00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:44.959 you wish other people knew about me as a business owner? 84 00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:46.240 That's kind of a loaded question. 85 00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:50.079 I just don't think people realize what it takes and 86 00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:53.839 how much time and effort it takes and brain power. 87 00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:56.439 Like even if we're going on a road trip, your 88 00:04:56.480 --> 00:05:02.560 typically answering emails and sages, or we're kind of brainstorming 89 00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:07.360 and doing different things discussing different visions and things like that, 90 00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:11.480 or different plans or implementing them. Also kind of some 91 00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:14.040 of the ideas that you have, like in between classes 92 00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:17.800 wanting to switch or take down TVs or switch TVs 93 00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:20.240 where I kind of have to say it takes a 94 00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:23.399 little bit more than fifteen minutes to install a giant 95 00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:25.759 TV on a wall. Or maybe if you're going to 96 00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:27.800 take a sledgehammer to a wall, maybe take it on 97 00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:30.720 an internal wall, not an external wall in. 98 00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:31.639 The middle of class. 99 00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:33.519 So those are kind of things that I don't think 100 00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:37.079 really people see and know that like business owners do. 101 00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:41.199 Like if you look at most people that there's a 102 00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:44.680 lot of behind the scenes of things that it's more 103 00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:47.480 hands on, like you're involved in every aspect of it. 104 00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:48.199 Yeah. 105 00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:52.040 Literally, that's why. So those two things actually are the 106 00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:54.639 truth because that happened. I'm like, I'm going to hang 107 00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:56.560 this TV right now. I'm like, let's go to the gym. 108 00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:58.759 It's like fifteen minutes of our day. It's fine. And 109 00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:00.480 Chris is like, well, you have to make the TV 110 00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:02.600 has to be hung properly and needs to stay on 111 00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:05.680 the wall. She's like, you're looking at at least three 112 00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:09.639 four hours I'm like, yeah, right, okay, maybe twenty minutes, Max, 113 00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:11.839 let's just do it. Turns out we needed to go 114 00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:13.720 to the store to get the right parts to make 115 00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:15.480 sure it hangs on the wall. It ended up taking 116 00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:19.920 five hours. I was shocked. Do you remember, Yeah, five 117 00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:22.000 whole hours to hang a TV? Are you kidding me? 118 00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:24.680 But hanging a TV in a business is a little 119 00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:28.519 bit different, I think than hanging a TV in your home. 120 00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:28.920 Yeah. 121 00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:33.480 Yeah, because like our building walls, like the shells are commercial. 122 00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:36.120 It's not residential. We don't have wood studs, we have 123 00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:38.560 metal studs, and we don't want this thing that's like 124 00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:40.600 seventy inches or however big it is. I can't even 125 00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:42.800 tell you. They're all the same. Anyway, we don't want 126 00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:44.879 it to crash and burn in the middle of an operation. 127 00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:47.879 On top of that, so I mean, like, in the 128 00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:50.160 same sense, I'm like, who cares, it's a commercial space, 129 00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:51.959 it's not our home. Just get it frigging hung up. 130 00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:54.199 I don't give a shit if it falls. It falls, 131 00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:58.199 But let's not take five hours. But Chris's queen of like, 132 00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:00.800 let's do it the right way so it only has 133 00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:02.480 to be done once and you won't have to buy 134 00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:05.160 a TV at the end of the day. Because one 135 00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:08.720 time in the old location, I've shared this story quite often. 136 00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:12.639 I went in to teach a six am class and 137 00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:16.680 in our equipment room because the equipment was in one room, 138 00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:18.279 not on the gym floor, because the gym floor was 139 00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:20.920 a lot smaller than what we have now. I walked 140 00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:24.480 in there was a TV face down, just shattered. It 141 00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:27.959 was my advertising TV. It was just shattered everywhere, and 142 00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:30.000 I was like, Oh, my gosh, someone came in here 143 00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:32.879 and vandalized the gym. What else is all messed up? 144 00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:35.199 And I'm looking around. I'm like, they didn't touch anything else. 145 00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:40.360 I'm like, they literally vandalized my space. So I'm like 146 00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:43.879 looking around and then someone's like, uh, Cristita. I was like, yeah, 147 00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:47.480 they found something, and they were like, it looks like 148 00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:52.959 the TV fell because the entire TV hangar or whatever 149 00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:55.680 it's called is still attached to it and it looks 150 00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:58.839 like it got ripped out of the wall. I was like, oh, 151 00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:01.199 I'm like, yeah, nothing else here has been touched. Just 152 00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:04.199 the TV's completely shattered all over the floor and they 153 00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:10.079 were like, who hung it? It was like me, So 154 00:08:10.199 --> 00:08:13.160 that's a true story. And then the sledgehammer thing definitely happened. 155 00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:15.079 I'm like, I'm gonna take down this whole wall. And 156 00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:17.199 I started sledgehammering and Chris walked in. She's like, oh 157 00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:18.959 my gosh, it was this was between classes. 158 00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:21.040 It was it was it was like the morning in 159 00:08:21.079 --> 00:08:21.839 between classes. 160 00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:24.560 It was probably after the sixth Dame class. Maybe maybe 161 00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:26.000 up the seven I'm not too sure, but I was 162 00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:28.560 just like, this is in the old location. Hammer hammer 163 00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:31.519 hammer with a big metal sledge. The sledgehammers that we're 164 00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:35.559 using circuit on that tire. Yeah, And Chris was like, well, 165 00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:37.679 just instead of going all the way through, because I 166 00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:40.279 was already starting to swing, She's like, just do this 167 00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:42.120 one side of the wall and see if you like it. 168 00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:44.720 I got done halfway through the room. I was like, 169 00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:47.480 I hate it. I'm done. I put it back. Chris 170 00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:48.720 is like, oh my god, we've got to clean up 171 00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:51.120 this mess. Now we clean up the mess. And then 172 00:08:51.159 --> 00:08:53.000 I stopped. And then when I was moving, I had 173 00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:54.799 to do the final walk through with the landlord to 174 00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:57.080 make sure everything was good and the property or off 175 00:08:57.080 --> 00:08:59.679 Atlanta were the property management team, and she's like, what 176 00:08:59.679 --> 00:09:04.840 happened this wall? Like, ah shit, I'm like, well, I 177 00:09:04.879 --> 00:09:06.600 was gonna take the wall down and I wanted to 178 00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:08.600 open up the room, and then I changed my mind. 179 00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:13.279 She was like, oh, okay, so they've gotten to know 180 00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:16.159 me now over the years and nothing really surprises them. 181 00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:20.279 But okay, so what's your favorite what's your favorite part 182 00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:22.480 about watching me build something from the ground up. 183 00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:27.120 It's just amazing to see the change, like if you're 184 00:09:27.159 --> 00:09:31.120 looking at from even like your very first location, your 185 00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:36.120 second location now, like just the evolution, and like when 186 00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:38.519 I look around sometimes it'll be like, oh, this is amazing, 187 00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:41.960 and then you'll come up with some crazy idea you'll 188 00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:43.720 implement it. I'm like, wow, I didn't think you can 189 00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:47.480 make something better, but you did. There is sometimes some 190 00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:55.960 resistance along the way, but it's always better. So it's 191 00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:58.320 definitely your vision. Like the way that you make things 192 00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:00.000 to come to life is definitely. 193 00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:03.960 It's interesting because there's some times when I want to 194 00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:06.279 do something and Chris is like nope, and I'm like, 195 00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:09.039 what do you mean no, Like it's such a good idea, 196 00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:11.919 and then she's like, ah no, I'm like wait, like 197 00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:15.360 one hundred percent no, or like eighty percent You're unsure 198 00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:18.000 and'll be like no, like one hundred and twenty percent no, 199 00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:22.320 I'm like, uh, okay, that's a hard no. But there's 200 00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:24.279 sometimes when I'm like, I know without a shadow of 201 00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:26.240 a doubt, and you're like, no, take your time or 202 00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:28.879 I don't know, and I'm like, Nope, absolutely yes, this 203 00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:31.159 is one hundred and twenty percent yes on my end 204 00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:33.720 and I'm going full steam and then in ten minutes 205 00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:35.799 I've implemented it or I've changed it and it's actually 206 00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:37.879 worked out to be really well. That's true. And I 207 00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:40.919 actually studied this recently because I'm like, why is it 208 00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:43.679 that I operate like this? Like is this something that 209 00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:46.919 a lot of entrepreneurial people do? And the answer is yes. 210 00:10:47.279 --> 00:10:49.600 So they say a lot of people who are highly 211 00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:54.480 successful are people that implement things because they trust themselves 212 00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:57.039 and it's not their first rodeo. If I was someone 213 00:10:57.039 --> 00:10:59.039 who's brand new in business and I didn't know my 214 00:10:59.080 --> 00:11:02.320 mouth for my asshole, then maybe it's just going to 215 00:11:02.360 --> 00:11:04.440 crash and burn and you don't know. But when you 216 00:11:04.639 --> 00:11:07.000 actually know what it is you're building, and you have 217 00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:11.360 your your your you know your audience, you know exactly 218 00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:13.080 where it is that you want to go, you're on 219 00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:16.200 that right path. Without a shadow of a doubt. I 220 00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:19.080 know what is going to be great, And there's sometimes 221 00:11:19.080 --> 00:11:22.120 I put feelers out to be like is anybody gonna bite? 222 00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:24.159 Does anybody want this in their life? Is this actually 223 00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:24.519 going to be? 224 00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:25.320 Like? 225 00:11:25.480 --> 00:11:27.960 Uh, what's the word? Is this gonna be useful to you? 226 00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:29.960 That's not the right word that I was. Are you 227 00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:32.679 gonna are you gonna benefit from this? Like that's like 228 00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:35.600 me talking to members right like is this why do 229 00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:39.200 you like this? And like people would tell me and okay, cool. 230 00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:43.159 So I don't often ask for a lot of ideas 231 00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:45.639 because I have so many ideas that I know are 232 00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:48.679 for the greater picture of the whole community because I 233 00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:50.960 pretty much know every person that walks through the gym doors, 234 00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:54.039 whereas one person might only know the people that are 235 00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:55.480 in their time slot if they always go to the 236 00:11:55.480 --> 00:11:57.919 same time space. Right, So it's like, oh, is this 237 00:11:57.960 --> 00:11:59.240 a good idea? But I want to know are you 238 00:11:59.240 --> 00:12:01.240 interested in this? And I'm always in the gym morning, 239 00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:04.360 noon to night. Are you interested? Or are the coaches interested? 240 00:12:04.440 --> 00:12:07.559 Let's see what's up? So that to me, is it's 241 00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:10.879 really interesting that fast, fast moving pace. You've got used 242 00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:14.799 to that? Yeah, yeah, it's almost at first. It's almost 243 00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:17.000 like a whiplash, right, like you don't know, like, oh 244 00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:18.519 my gosh, you're doing this today, Oh my gosh, you're 245 00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:21.799 doing that tomorrow. But it's not like it's I'm changing. 246 00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:25.000 I'm very consistent in my drive forward. That's true. 247 00:12:25.080 --> 00:12:25.639 That's true. 248 00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:28.960 Not moving backwards. Ain't nobody got time for that. 249 00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:31.279 Getting used to the crazy? 250 00:12:32.600 --> 00:12:38.240 So what is something? What is something that you think 251 00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:46.960 benefits us as a couple with building the business. That's 252 00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:52.200 a really long pause, that is so let me rephrase that. 253 00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:58.200 What do you think entrepreneurial ship? Entrepreneurship? There's no l 254 00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:01.000 in that entrepreneurial ship. I'll say it like that. Anyway, 255 00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:04.360 What do you think that has brought into our life 256 00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:11.360 that we wouldn't have experienced otherwise? Why are you looking 257 00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:11.840 at me like that? 258 00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:14.320 Because you're like lifting for your eyeball. 259 00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:17.879 Oh, stretching my eye. It feels nice. 260 00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:22.120 She's like opening up her eyeballs with her fingers and 261 00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:24.879 staring at me, helping me think. 262 00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:31.399 Entrepreneurship. How does it benefit us or how do we 263 00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:32.159 benefit from it? 264 00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:32.759 Yeah? 265 00:13:32.799 --> 00:13:33.279 It's interesting. 266 00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:35.600 It keeps us exciting, keeps us always something to do, 267 00:13:36.039 --> 00:13:39.240 like let it be we're driving across Ontario picking up 268 00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:44.120 punching bags or kickboxing bags, or building whatever contraption or 269 00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:51.000 doing different things. It also like it's just it's it's 270 00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:53.759 something that we kind of do together as well. 271 00:13:53.919 --> 00:13:59.000 So either like lugging crap or picking up stuff. 272 00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:01.519 Or lugging crap. Do you think my stuff is crap? 273 00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:06.759 That last minute, like you need whatever, and. 274 00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:10.360 We're driving across the country to pick it up, making 275 00:14:10.399 --> 00:14:12.799 trips down to Toronto or wherever that we need to go. 276 00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:15.840 So it's those adventures as well. So normally, like if 277 00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:17.720 it's a long trip, we load up the dogs and 278 00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:22.000 it's a whole family affair. So it's definitely interesting, that's 279 00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:22.360 for sure. 280 00:14:23.759 --> 00:14:25.600 What do you think that we have learned as a 281 00:14:25.600 --> 00:14:33.679 couple from building a life around a business? Communication adaptation understanding? 282 00:14:34.279 --> 00:14:36.600 We've communication? What I mean, we learned that we're always 283 00:14:36.639 --> 00:14:37.399 good at communication? 284 00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:37.919 Yeah? 285 00:14:38.440 --> 00:14:39.840 What I mean? Yeah? 286 00:14:40.080 --> 00:14:40.559 Yeah? 287 00:14:40.759 --> 00:14:45.399 No, yes, one percent. Yeah, you've always been good at communication. 288 00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:46.240 It's true, it's true. 289 00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:49.279 But like our scheduling, like knowing like what's going on, 290 00:14:49.360 --> 00:14:51.639 So typically like every day it'll be like, Okay, what 291 00:14:51.679 --> 00:14:53.080 do you got on to go tomorrow? Because it's like 292 00:14:53.120 --> 00:14:56.039 my schedule as well. I do shift work. I have 293 00:14:56.200 --> 00:14:58.879 other jobs I do, like I work for charities. I 294 00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:01.519 do a bunch of stuff. So typically we do the 295 00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:03.840 run around as to, Okay, so what's what do you 296 00:15:04.039 --> 00:15:07.080 have going on this week? And then unfortunately my memory 297 00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:09.759 is very very short, so I typically revisit that every 298 00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:11.639 night and possibly in the morning. 299 00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:13.399 Again we have one to go. 300 00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:19.559 So that's kind of like always like we're we kind 301 00:15:19.559 --> 00:15:22.159 of strive through it together and let it be like 302 00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:24.919 if we have appointments and things like that, we kind 303 00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:27.320 of really do tackle them together in that aspect. 304 00:15:27.440 --> 00:15:29.519 Yeah, that's really not me being in sense would have 305 00:15:29.519 --> 00:15:33.240 been our communication. We have great communication. Today we're driving 306 00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:36.320 or rubber She's like, what was that you said to me? Like, oh, no, 307 00:15:36.399 --> 00:15:38.600 you can drive? Oh, because she asked, we're going to 308 00:15:38.679 --> 00:15:41.440 my uncle's birthday, uh in the like the first or 309 00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:46.720 second weekend of September. And I'm like, oh no, she says, 310 00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:50.679 are we are we taking the car or the vehicle 311 00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:53.080 down to Vaughan And I'm like, for what zo Enzo's birthday? 312 00:15:53.679 --> 00:15:56.679 And You're like yeah. I'm like, well, doesn't matter, Like 313 00:15:56.960 --> 00:15:58.840 we can take the car, but I'm more comfortable in 314 00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:01.759 the passenger side in the past say and she's like, 315 00:16:01.759 --> 00:16:03.480 what you said I was driving. I'm like, what do 316 00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:06.679 you mean you're not driving? Like what, I'm passenger princess 317 00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:10.399 like this is like what?

Tell me you're mad 320 00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:16.840 at me? You want me to drive down to Vaughan. 321 00:16:16.960 --> 00:16:20.200 I don't. So I drive every single day like my 322 00:16:20.320 --> 00:16:21.639 oh whatever. 323 00:16:21.720 --> 00:16:25.080 Then we live like a kilometer from the gym. I 324 00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:26.559 don't consider that driving. 325 00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:29.440 I drive tune from the single day. You watch your mouth. 326 00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:35.039 It's so three minutes, three minutes back. Sometimes in the 327 00:16:35.039 --> 00:16:38.039 evening it's been like five minutes with traffic. People stop 328 00:16:38.080 --> 00:16:40.240 at the light and I need to instead of turning 329 00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:42.399 that they're turning. Signalana, this will stop at the light. 330 00:16:42.480 --> 00:16:44.360 I'm like, kidding me, just turn You're making me out 331 00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:51.879 my five minute commute. So our communication is fantastic. It's 332 00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:54.960 funny because yesterday I was texting Chris and I actually 333 00:16:55.759 --> 00:16:59.480 I've been looking at another location. I'm not leaving Barry, 334 00:16:59.480 --> 00:17:03.120 don't worry. Very is awesome and I'm still here. But 335 00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:06.559 there's i'd like to open a second location south and 336 00:17:06.599 --> 00:17:09.279 I know I him and Haw about opening another location, 337 00:17:09.519 --> 00:17:11.799 not opening it. I got the brand for it, I 338 00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:15.559 have the resources. I may as well and bring a 339 00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:18.480 different type of fitness to other people. So I was 340 00:17:18.519 --> 00:17:23.680 on the phone with this possible thing. I'm gonna say 341 00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:25.039 a person. I was on the whole the person, not 342 00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:27.960 a robot, not a couch on, like a live person. 343 00:17:28.440 --> 00:17:30.839 And I was also going back and forth with my mom, 344 00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:33.400 and I was going back and forth with Chris. And 345 00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:36.400 I like to bounce ideas, not just with Chris but 346 00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:39.119 also with my mom because she's owned businesses as well 347 00:17:39.160 --> 00:17:42.480 my entire life. So I'm like, let's just see, because 348 00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:43.960 she's gonna tell me how we all know. My mom's 349 00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:45.519 going to tell me exactly how it is, if it's 350 00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:47.839 a stupid idea, if it's great, and my mom is 351 00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:51.039 like three feet in like already. And I was also 352 00:17:51.079 --> 00:17:54.079 talking with Chris about it, and then I forgot to 353 00:17:54.200 --> 00:17:56.240 mention while she was at work that I was looking 354 00:17:56.279 --> 00:18:01.039 at this other space to create another version of the 355 00:18:01.079 --> 00:18:04.359 Transformation Station. And she's showing me the text and she 356 00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:06.880 circled it and read with an exclamation mark, because all 357 00:18:06.920 --> 00:18:11.119 I wrote was okay, see see Jim tomorrow. It's it's 358 00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:13.640 I'm not buying a gym, but it's already a it's 359 00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:17.000 a gym and they're closing. So I texted her. I 360 00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:20.039 said see Jim tomorrow ten thirty am or Saturday, and 361 00:18:20.039 --> 00:18:24.799 then I said Saturday. Next message, I said, Saturday at noon, 362 00:18:24.839 --> 00:18:27.559 I gotta go. And Chris was like what and she 363 00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:29.480 circled it and read and put an exclamation mark and 364 00:18:29.519 --> 00:18:31.759 sent it back to me. I'm like, do you understand 365 00:18:31.759 --> 00:18:33.480 the words that are coming out of my mouth? But 366 00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:36.759 then I realized that I gave her exactly zero context. 367 00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:40.039 Our communication is fabulous. 368 00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:43.839 Oh shoot, we recorded this one the same. Some people 369 00:18:43.839 --> 00:18:47.759 are gonna know. But I thought that I already told you. 370 00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:50.640 I was like, but you were at work. But that's 371 00:18:50.640 --> 00:18:53.559 just how my brain operates, right, Like I just go fast, fast, fast, 372 00:18:53.559 --> 00:18:58.720 fast fast, And like this space like it's it's four 373 00:18:58.759 --> 00:19:01.839 times the size of where I'm now, right, but it's 374 00:19:01.960 --> 00:19:05.559 it's good. And like I said, it's easy. I'm already incorporated. 375 00:19:05.559 --> 00:19:08.519 Things are already there. I am literally it's so easy 376 00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:12.319 for me to franchise, not franchise, but open a second 377 00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:17.680 location and seamlessly open. It's super easy, So like, why 378 00:19:17.680 --> 00:19:20.640 would I not look for another location to bring joy 379 00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:24.599 to people in the same area and have there actually 380 00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:28.079 be another space that if we do a field trip 381 00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:31.039 instead of going to other people's gyms in Burlington or 382 00:19:31.079 --> 00:19:36.880 in Newmarket or Mississauga, we can field trip to another 383 00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:41.119 version of the transformation station less than an hour away, 384 00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:44.480 in a space that's four times as big, that has 385 00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:47.359 a little bit of different equipment but same equipment to 386 00:19:47.480 --> 00:19:50.200 have like an in house competition like we had Agnite, 387 00:19:50.680 --> 00:19:52.799 or maybe I might sign up to host a decad 388 00:19:53.359 --> 00:19:55.319 for the people at the gym, so like we have 389 00:19:55.799 --> 00:19:59.759 more exciting stuff to branch the community between two different 390 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:04.000 lotions and then say, hey, Okay, it's Saturday, we're gonna 391 00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:07.839 do TTS Barry. So people from Markham come and work 392 00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:09.960 out with the people in Barry. And hey, people in Barrie, 393 00:20:09.960 --> 00:20:13.000 we're gonna do TTS and Markham, let's all carpool. We're 394 00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:15.599 gonna have food over there. Let's grab a workout together. 395 00:20:15.640 --> 00:20:17.759 You guys can all meet each other. Like it makes 396 00:20:17.799 --> 00:20:21.119 the networking and the support so much bigger. So when 397 00:20:21.160 --> 00:20:22.799 I say, hey, I'm going to book a movie theater 398 00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:25.599 for us we can all go to one space and 399 00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:28.279 meet other people. And when people connect with other people, 400 00:20:28.359 --> 00:20:31.119 they get stronger and stronger, right, so why would I 401 00:20:31.240 --> 00:20:35.240
